Description
Investor-Friendly, Studio / Easily Convertible One-Bed in Prime Upper West Side
Welcome to The Berkeley at 170 West 74th Street-an extraordinary pre-war gem offering unmatched flexibility, plus both ownership and investment potential in the heart of the Upper West Side. This extra-large studio easily converts to a one-bedroom and is located in an investor-friendly co-op that operates with condo-like policies: unlimited subletting from day one, easy application process, pied- -terre ownership, gifting, co-purchasing, guarantors, and flexible financing are all allowed.
Bathed in natural light, this dramatic home features oversized windows with open city skyline views, high-beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, and spacious rooms filled with pre-war charm. A gracious entry foyer, a windowed bathroom, and two oversized walk-in closets enhance both functionality and style. The apartment is currently configured as an oversized studio and can be easily converted to a one-bedroom by simply adding a wall. Certain photos are virtually staged with furniture. Alternative floorplan is subject to board approval.
The Berkeley spoils residents with white-glove amenities including a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, porter, fully equipped laundry room, and stunning artful lobby. There are two passenger elevators and a service elevator for convenience.
Located directly across from Verdi Square Park and minutes from the 1/2/3 subway lines (and just a short walk to the B/C trains), this location offers ultimate convenience. Beloved neighborhood favorites like Levain Bakery, Trader Joe's, Citarella, Fairway, Westside Market, and a multitude of restaurants and cafes are just outside your door. Lincoln Center, the Beacon Theatre, and the Metropolitan Opera provide world-class entertainment minutes away.
With no flip tax and a high investor ownership ratio, this unit is an excellent choice for buyers seeking a flexible, high-demand property in one of Manhattan's most cherished neighborhoods.
