Description

A Grand Prewar Residence with Timeless Elegance Welcome to this expansive and elegant nine-room home at The Powellton, a distinguished prewar cooperative built in 1899 on the Upper West Side. This thoughtfully designed residence features four spacious bedrooms plus a versatile library, a generous eat-in kitchen, and a formal dining room—offering a rare blend of scale, craftsmanship, and architectural charm. Soaring 10-foot ceilings, grand proportions, and original prewar details reflect the rich history of this home. The formal dining room, anchored by a decorative fireplace with intricate period detailing, comfortably accommodates large gatherings and offers a refined setting for entertaining. Beautiful oak pocket doors lead to a west-facing living room with a second decorative fireplace, creating a warm and inviting space for relaxation. Another set of pocket doors opens into the serene library—perfect as a study, creative space, or additional bedroom. The expansive chef’s kitchen was thoughtfully designed as the heart of the home with space for a table and chairs in addition to double ovens, two sinks, a large Sub-Zero refrigerator, abundant pantry storage, and a discreetly integrated washer/dryer. This space is ideal for both daily living and hosting. A private bedroom wing includes four well-proportioned bedrooms, three windowed bathrooms, and exceptional closet space throughout. The serene corner suite includes two walk-in closets, a separate home office (with its own door for privacy), and a generously sized en-suite bathroom. The Powellton offers the charm of a boutique building with the benefit of full-time doorman service. With only 56 residences, the building fosters a welcoming and well-maintained environment. Additional amenities include a bicycle room, laundry room, and storage. Pets are welcome. Ideally situated between Riverside Park and Central Park, this home offers convenient access to green spaces, neighborhood amenities, and vibrant dining and shopping—including Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s along Columbus Avenue. The nearby 96th Street 1/2/3 subway lines provide easy access to the rest of the city. With classic bones and historic character, this exceptional residence invites thoughtful updates to enhance its enduring appeal. 80% financing. There are currently two assessments totaling $1,543.99.
