243 West 98th Street, 6-A

Apartment 6A is where old world charm and character seamlessly and tastefully mesh with classic updates and modern conveniences. Quintessential Upper West Siders will appreciate the tall ceilings, decorative fireplaces, gracious sized rooms, simple moldings, gorgeous wood floors and many unusual and surprising "quirks" of this one-of-a-kind gem. If you love displaying books, collectables and "objets d'art", 6A offers shelving galore. There are two king sized bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, separated for privacy. They are both off the street and Zen-like quiet, and the bathrooms are where you'll find some of the home's tasteful updates - simple and elegant tilework and cabinetry, plenty of cabinet storage, a huge walkin shower and wonderful lighting. The oversized windowed eat-in-kitchen has also been modernized. There is room to entertain a crowd in the kitchen alone, and the yards of counter space are ideal for meal and party prep. There is also a clothes washer and vented dryer. The cherry on top comes at the end of the long hallway - a huge, loftlike great room currently configured as open living and dining areas. They could easily be divided to create separate spaces, or a home office, an artist studio, music room or other flexible space. Light in this room is gorgeous! Storage is beyond generous with multiple walkins and builtins. 243 West 98th Street is a boutique and beautifully maintained condominium, with a wonderful live-in super and private storage. Ideally located near convenience shopping on Broadway, several trains including the 2/3 express at 96th Street, a short distance from Riverside and Central Parks, and in close proximity to grocery stores, top restaurants and area attractions. Starting this May, there will be a monthly assessment of $320.49 for 48 months.
