211 West 71st Street, 2-A

211 W. 71st St. 2A is an expansive 2BR/2BA condo that offers a quiet oasis just around the corner from the most convenient transport hub on the UWS — and just a few blocks’ walk to the green fields of Central Park and the tranquility of shady rambles and Hudson views in Riverside Park. But you don’t need to leave your apartment to feel that sweet serenity — it’s all over the light-filled, winged layout, a quiet end unit finished in natural materials and inspiring myriad possibilities for New York life, with a massive great room; king and queen size bedrooms; two full spa-like bathrooms; and an ample kitchen with a full suite of stainless steel appliances. The entryway, with its built in landing station of storage for coats and boots, opens invitingly into the south-facing great room — which features original hardwood floors, a unique stone waterfall wall feature, and space for every possible configuration of living and dining — and the open kitchen, where a granite island can provide seating for four and hosting is a snap without ever leaving the warmth of the party. The two large bedrooms are winged at the north and south of the house, both visually and sonically separated by the two bathrooms and three sets of closets — offering ideal privacy and generous all-day light in both spaces. Soundproof windows on the south side maintain a sense of calm. The bathrooms were designed and renovated with natural materials: an earthy stone primary suite with deep soaking tub and separate shower, and a modern black slate bathroom that echoes the tones of the kitchen. With repainting just completed and upgrades to hardware and fixtures, the home matches the charm of original hardwood floors and an appealingly spacious layout with modern finishes and copious smart storage, including a well-built walk-in and an AV and utility closet that doubles as tuck-away office space. The Lincoln Park Condominium is a boutique condominium 24-hour doorman service, live-in super, elevator, central laundry, and a BuildingLink system for package delivery. Set well back from the street, with sunny frontage on a quiet block just around the corner from the 2 / 3 and 1 trains at 72nd and the 72nd Street crosstown bus, you have access to everything in the most convenient location on the UWS: it’s a block to Trader Joe’s (with Citarella, Fairway, and Zabar’s nearby), and options for shopping, dining, bookshops and flagships (like the iconic Shakespeare & Company’s new UWS location) abound. Nestled between playgrounds and parks, there’s plenty of space to run your pup from the pet-friendly building, and two local farmer’s markets to explore on weekends. It’s a short stroll to Lincoln Center and less than a mile to midtown; an easy walking commute to Broadway and a convenient train ride to anywhere in the city. With light, space, charm, and ease, in the perfect location, 211 West 71st Street, 2A is a uniquely joyful, generous home.
