Description

The rare find: Unit 9A at the Claremont is an approximately 2700 square foot, 4-bedroom, 4.5 bath full-floor residence with its own private landing and four exposures.

Full of light, this home is arranged for entertaining, with a large living room, formal dining room, renovated windowed kitchen with custom millwork, Viking and Sub-Zero appliances, oak plank flooring and exquisite details and finishes throughout.

The fourth bedroom is currently configured as a den and can easily and quickly be converted back by the new owner.

Each of the other three bedrooms is oversized, with excellent closet space. The master bedroom features a balcony, walls of closets and an windowed en-suite bathroom with double sink. There are two other large bedrooms, each with room for a desk and seating area. There are a total of four-and-a-half baths, each more lovely than the next.

With access to all four exposures, the apartment is extraordinarily bright, with all-day sun. With new skylight windows, this is a very quiet apartment as well.

The Claremont is a full-service, boutique 38-unit condominium. One may rent out the apartment from day one, making it a terrific investment as well. The building has a full-time concierge, fitness room and live-in super. West 85th Street is a quiet, tree-lined block in the heart of the Upper West Side.

Minutes from shopping, transportation, cafes, new restaurants and more!

Please Note - Taxes are reflective of the property being used as a primary residence. There is a 17.5% abatement for use as a primary residence.
