126 West 96th Street, 2-D

Located in the heart of the Upper West Side, you’ll find a one-of-a-kind, designer-renovated 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment in a well-maintained boutique elevator building.

Welcome to the largest apartment in the building, with a beautiful chef's kitchen, split bedroom layout, a coveted laundry room with vented washer/dryer, and numerous closets designed to maximize storage. It is a home that checks every box.

The open-concept chef's kitchen features custom milled and designed cabinets, a breakfast bar, Danby marble countertops, under-cabinet accent lighting, and stainless steel appliances (including convection oven and microwave). The kitchen is the perfect centerpiece while cooking and entertaining.

The living room invites you to move further into the apartment to dine, to relax, and to enjoy the natural light and views from the two north facing windows. The living room includes a through-wall AC unit, ceiling fan, in-wall wiring, and built-in surround sound speakers.

The large master bedroom has more than enough space for a king size bed and reading area. It also has two north-facing windows, a through-wall AC unit and ceiling fan, and it boasts closets galore, including a work-from-home space with a built-in desk and shelving, and two additional, large, custom-built California closets.

The en-suite bathroom has a custom-milled vanity with 3 full-height mirrored medicine cabinets, built-in lighting, plentiful drawers and large base cabinet, directly across from the linen closet with built-in shelving. The massive shower offers a spa-like experience with overhead rain shower head and hand-held wand in a custom glass enclosure with marble tiles and two large recessed shelves. The marble continues to the walls in the bathroom, as does the custom tile floors.

All the appliances in the apartment are new, all of the fixtures of the highest quality, and the apartment has four custom California closets. No detail was overlooked.

The apartment maintenance is only $1,528 per month. (An assessment of $348 per month for a recent capital project will end in December 2020.) Cats are allowed; but, sorry, no dogs.

Just outside you will discover that you are a short walk from both Central Park and Riverside Park, and that you are equidistant from the local and express 1/2/3 and B/C subway lines. Crosstown bus stops are just down the street. Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and a Friday farmer's market are steps away, as are numerous restaurants and coffee shops. Everything that the Upper West Side has to offer — including museums and playgrounds — is waiting for you.
