Property Description for 229 West 97th Street, 5-J

Move right into this pristine, prewar 2-bedroom home with charming architectural details and a lovely mint renovation. This gracious apartment begins with a welcoming entry foyer that leads to the center of the home with a desirable, open concept dining room, living room and French-inspired chef's kitchen. Elegant archways repeat throughout the home, gracefully separating the dining area and sunny, south-facing living room with decorative fireplace. The beautifully designed chef's kitchen features top of the line appliances including a custom white, Viking range, Subzero refrigerator and Bosch dishwasher, butcher block counters, plentiful cabinetry and a Kohler farmer's sink. The sunny, primary bedroom with double exposures facing south and west even includes a view of your own sliver of the river and boasts excellent closets! The second bedroom is sunny with western views and has 2 closets, one of which has been converted into a smart, "tucked away" office nook. Just like the entire design of the home, the windowed bathroom has been beautifully upgraded while still keeping with the prewar character of the apartment with pedestal sink, white subway tiles and tub.

This Classic Coop was built in 1899 and has restored and renovated its hallways and striking lobby back to their turn-of-the-century grandeur. A full-time doorman, bike room, central laundry room and private storage make this the best deal on the Upper West Side. The Powellton is conveniently located moments from the 1/2/3 subway station, crosstown bus, Whole Foods, and all the vibrant amenities of the Upper West Side.
There is currently an assessment in the amount of $112.72 /month.

Upper West Side | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Bracketed on its east and west borders by massive city parks, the Upper West Side (UWS) is known for its greenery, stately and elegant townhomes, safe streets and great schools, all of which make it a very desirable neighborhood for families. The UWS has maintained its community feeling, making it attractive to young professionals and retirees, both of whom want a sense of belonging in the place they call home.

Here you’ll find many apartment buildings, especially those along Central Park West. Historic architecture abounds, anchored by four luxury co-ops - the San Remo, Majestic, Century and Eldorado apartments - all of which have two towers on their interiors. They were built in the 1930s and their design was predicated on a 1929 building code that imposed a height limit on residences facing the street. There are also impressive row houses near Riverside Drive throughout the W 70 and 80 Streets. Above the 90s, you will find smaller buildings where walk-ups are very reasonably priced.

There are several world-class museums and venues dedicated to the performing arts. Plentiful dining can be found in the UWS. You will find everything from quaint Jewish delis serving up bagels and a schmear to sophisticated fine dining that has earned multiple Michelin stars, and everything you could possibly want in between. There is also abundant shopping and a vibrant nightlife.
