Description

Yearning for a home with a bright leafy private terrace of your very own? No other alcove studio delivers the light and value provided at this unique contemporary home set on a classic Riverside Park block. This 3rd floor home in Park View Towers combines features in a way that makes it exceptional. The south facing bed alcove window and the living room's big sliding glass door open onto your big private terrace and fill the apartment with natural light. The neighboring building to the south is only 5 stories tall, so it blocks wind without blocking light and you get to enjoy the beautiful treetops that rise up from the courtyard below your terrace. Most studios with terraces on the upper west side are in townhouse walk-ups, but here you have the convenience of an elevator. The walk-in closet gives you outstanding organization and storage thanks to a custom California Closet system optimizing that space. Elegant marble tiles cover the walls and floor in the stylish contemporary bathroom, and cabinets between the full wall mirrored medicine cabinet and ceiling keep the bathroom supplies tidy, organized, and put away. The very functional kitchen has a 4-burner range and standard size stainless steel fridge as well as a polished stone countertop and floor. If you value coherence in style and utility, you'll feel right at home here. Park View Towers is a nicely situated well-managed co-op with good financials where you'll enjoy living. Residents of this pet friendly building share a beautiful common roof deck, a central laundry room, a full-time live-in super and a part-time doorman. There are storage lockers and a bike room. Cyclists and bird lovers will especially enjoy the proximity to Riverside Park – just a half block away – the best place in the city to see peregrine falcons and where the Manhattan Waterfront Greenway connects with the Empire State Trail so you can ride a bike from the Battery all the way to Montreal. The bike ride to, say, Greenwich Village is only a leisurely 30 minutes along the scenic Hudson River – about the same time it takes to catch the 1 train downtown at 103rd and Broadway. The amenities you expect to find on the Upper West Side are easily accessible – Trader Joes, Whole Foods, West Side Market, a tremendous variety of dining, entertainment, and fitness options – all within a few short blocks. No other alcove studio in the city gives you this much. 3% flip tax split between buyers and sellers. Co-purchases, guarantors, and pied-a-terre buyers are allowed at the board's discretion.
