Property Description for 241 West 97th Street, 6-L

PREWAR HEARTWARMER w/CONDO FREEDOM

SPLIT BEDROOM SWEETHEART WITH EAT-IN KITCHEN AND BONUS HALF-BATH

BRIGHT AND QUIET BEAUTY w/BIG ROOMS, HIGH CEILINGS, FOYER/GALLERY, ORIGINAL DETAIL, & GENEROUS CLOSET SPACE

TWO PRIVATE STORAGE UNITS INCLUDED

Here's the Upper Westside treasure that checks off all the boxes: a comfortable, comforting prewar plan with all of the coveted period scale, detail, and charm -- but with the ease and flexibility of a condominium. Perfect!

With a sweet soul and a thoughtful, timeless layout, this feel-good find is graced with high beamed ceilings, expansive rooms, early 20th Century detail, and handsome hardwood floors throughout. The wonderful result is a timeless, memorable, easy-to-live, easy-to-love two bedroom home with a bath and a half -- offering an eat-in kitchen and the ability to explore the addition of a washer/dryer (with Board approval).

You are welcomed by a sizable foyer/gallery and an overscaled, eat-in windowed kitchen. Complete with ample stone counters and cabinets, the kitchen provides fantastic storage and generous prep space -- easily meeting any home cook's needs. The windowed powder room, located nearby, completes this space and provides easy access to guests when entertaining.

The generously proportioned living room is the core of this sizable home -- a great space for unwinding and entertaining. Two large, West-facing windows flood the space with light and the wide expanse here provides for an ideal dining area. The two split bedrooms are located on either end of the hallway, anchored by an updated and windowed full bath. Both bedrooms are spacious, and the well-scaled primary features a bright double exposure (cross breezes anyone?), and two large closets. The generously scaled guest bedroom has two additional windows and even more impressive storage space.

The Sabrina Condominium was built in 1923, and its beautifully restored lobby is a testament to its era with superb architectural details. This full-service building is pet-friendly, and offers a full-time doorman, a staff of porters, a live-in resident manager, bike/storage rooms, and central laundry -- not to mention the possible ability to install your own in-home washer/dryer (with Board approval). Public parking is found in the garage just across the street.

From this amazingly prime location, Sabrina residents have direct access to the Lotus Garden, a secret sanctuary tucked away from the din of the city, and easy proximity to nearby Riverside and Central Parks. The 24-hour Westside Market is located just downstairs, and there is a Whole Foods close by on 97th Street, and a Trader Joe’s on 93rd Street. The area is also filled with fantastic dining and shopping, and the 1/2/3 trains and crosstown bus are merely one block away.

Life here is easy, convenient, and fun -- and this stretch-out beauty is a wonderful base for all of it. If you are looking for a special space with forever charm and condo liberty, then look no further. Welcome to your Sabrina home.

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.
