Property Description for 201 West 89th Street, 2-G

FLEXIBLE 2BR (NOT Yet A 3BR — Readily Converted — See Alternate Plan) PRE-WAR TREASURE w/A SWEET TOUCH

CLASSIC 2BR w/OPEN PLAN LIVING/DINING (Easily Converts To 3BRs — Many In Line Have Done — See Alternate Plan)

SOULFUL CORNER HOME w/QUIET GARDEN OUTLOOK FROM BOTH BEDROOMS

SWEETLY PERCHED IN BELOVED CHESTER COURT: PLANTED ROOF DECK, FULL GYM, PLAYROOM, BASKETBALL COURT & ELECTRIC CHARGES INCLUDED IN LOW MONTHLY MAINTENANCE

Here’s where value, location, character, and scale come together to create Pre-War residential bliss. Sweetly positioned on lovely West 89th Street this open plan classic is a go-to residential choice with extra flexibility (see alternate plan). A comfortable corner heart-warmer with high ceilings, big windows, and lovely detail, this easy-to-love, peaceful residence stands out for all the right reasons.

With a generously scaled foyer spilling onto the open-plan living/dining rooms, a coveted horizontal plan unfolds perfectly. A quiet line of 4 well-scaled windows brings soft light to the stretch-out entertaining rooms. Off the living/dining rooms is the sizable kitchen — an easy and practical, windowed space with ample cabinet and counter space and stainless appliances.

Around the corner from the big living/dining core of this home are the bedrooms. Gracefully separate from the entertaining rooms, both bedrooms offer sweet views overlooking the huge, private landscaped garden of Astor Court — a rare oasis in the city. The king sized main bedroom has that lush garden view to the West, another exposure to the North, a wall of custom closets, and is served by a full, classic windowed bath. The second bedroom has the garden view, two very large closets and an ensuite windowed full bathroom with step-in shower. (A third bedroom can be pursued, as many in this very line have successfully done — see alternate floor plan.)

Peacefully positioned in a well-maintained, 1920s, Emery Roth designed building, this feel good find enjoys all the benefits of its address and its prime neighborhood. With a full-time doorman and a live-in superintendent, central laundry, bike/storage rooms, a glorious planted roof deck, a gym, a playroom, and a basketball court, and FIOS — life in the pet-friendly Chester Court is easy and fun.

Nearby, is convenient access to every area cultural, dining, shopping, fitness, entertainment and educational destination — not to mention a plethora of choice transportation. Riverside Park, Central Park, the 1, B and C trains, the crosstown bus, and the best UWS restaurants and shops are a stone’s throw from your front door.

If you seek a winning mix of classic style and open-plan practicality — a happy home that can serve all of today’s growing needs — then this winsome residence will inspire your senses and melt your heart.

(Washer/dryers, pied a terres, gifting, guarantors, and co-purchases permissible on a case by case basis.)

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.
