$599,000

Residence 3E at 126 W. 96th Street is a stunningly bright, exceptionally large prewar one bedroom home bathed in south-facing sunlight. With its nearly 10 foot ceilings, a sprawling foyer separating the bedroom from the living space and its views out onto the townhouse gardens in the quiet rear of… Read More the building, this special property feels like a downtown loft in an ultra-convenient uptown location. Enter the residence to be immediately greeted by the very details that make this prewar home so appealing: the floor-to-ceiling built-in entryway shelves provide sublime storage options while the spectacular hardwood floors, baseboard moldings and high ceilings highlight the immense amount of light flowing in from the home's south-facing position in the back of the building. A long foyer separates the entryway from the living quarters. Down that foyer beyond a walk-in closet lies the oversized, symmetrical living space. Overlooking the gardens below and significantly larger than an average prewar one bedroom living room, the space allows for dedicated areas for living and dining, and it even currently houses an upright piano with ease. There is no wasted space, a massive amount of light and layout options abound. The adorable windowed kitchen lies just off of the living room. Back down the foyer, nicely separated from the living space, you'll find the serene bedroom. Big enough for a king sized bed, nightstands, a dresser and beyond, the bedroom is just as quiet as the living space as it does not face the front of the building. The bedroom additionally features an enormous closet while the windowed bathroom and yet another hallway closet complete this lovely home. 126 W. 96th Street is an intimate, professionally-managed boutique elevator coop in a highly sought after Upper West Side location. The building features a first floor laundry room, an attentive live-in super, through the wall air conditioners, and sparkling clean common areas while sitting less than two blocks from Central Park. Shopping and dining options abound with easy access to multiple express and local subway lines and world class restaurants along with Whole Foods and Trader Joe's. The lovely coop allows co-purchases, guarantors, gifting, pied-a-terres and subletting after only two years of ownership. Sorry, dogs are unfortunately not allowed. Read Less
