Property Description for 219 West 81st Street, 4-A

Welcome to Residence 4A at The Avonova - A sun-flooded southwest corner home offering over 2,100 square feet of space, pre-war scale, and wide-open views up and down Broadway and West 81st Street from every room-a rare offering at just $3M in one of the Upper West Side's most desirable full-service condominiums.

All rooms overlook the street, delivering remarkable light and city views rarely found at this price point. With high ceilings, a wide entry gallery, and a 27-foot living & dining area, the home offers both grandeur and functionality. The large windowed kitchen includes generous cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and there is an incredible massive breakfast nook off the kitchen.

Originally a 4-bedroom, 3-bath, the home is currently configured as a spacious 3 bed with easy conversion back (see proposed alternate floorplan). Similar layouts in the building have traded north of $4M, presenting a clear opportunity to add meaningful value through upgrades.

Monthly carrying costs of just $4,430 further enhance the value proposition-well below market averages for a home of this size and scale.

Ideally located at 81st and Broadway-steps from Central Park, Riverside Park, top schools, cultural institutions, and express trains-The Avonova is a full-service pre-war condominium offering 24-hour doorman, fitness center, landscaped roof deck, children's playroom, bike room, and private storage.

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.
