Property Description for 215 West 91st Street, 31

The Perfect Classic 5: Timeless Elegance Meets Modern Convenience

Nestled on a picturesque, tree-lined street, this Classic 5 home offers the perfect blend of pre-war charm and contemporary style. Bright, spacious, and impeccably maintained, this UWS beauty offers generous proportions and natural light throughout. Currently configured as a spacious 2 bedroom, 1 bath home with a formal dining room, it offers the flexibility to be converted into a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom layout (see alternate floor plan).

Entering through a gracious foyer with a large double-door closet, you are welcomed into a sunlit living room featuring custom built-ins and oversized west-facing windows. These windows overlook the treetops along Broadway, filling the room with natural light throughout the day. The living room is an inviting space, ideal for hosting gatherings or simply enjoying quiet moments at home. Across the hall, the formal dining room offers a versatile space with built-in desks seamlessly integrated into custom bookshelves. Perfect for entertaining or working from home, this room can also be transformed into a third bedroom to suit your needs.

The windowed eat-in kitchen is a chef's delight, complete with white custom cabinetry, sleek hardware, marble countertops, and a subway tile backsplash. Equipped with stainless steel appliances, including a Bosch dishwasher and an LG washer/dryer combo, the kitchen also features built-in wine storage, blending style and functionality.

The generously sized primary bedroom enjoys abundant natural light and includes two large closets: both with built-in shelving for effortless organization. The second bedroom is just as inviting, with two oversized windows that enhance its charm. The windowed bathroom offers a luxurious touch with a marble sink top and marble tile flooring, creating a serene retreat.

Throughout the home, pre-war details shine, including high-beamed ceilings, restored original moldings, and beautifully maintained hardwood floors. Ample storage adds to the convenience of this thoughtfully designed space.

The DeSoto, built in 1916, is a distinguished Beaux Arts co-op located on a prime Upper West Side block. This pet-friendly, full-service building features a 24-hour doorman, a live-in super, and a stunning marble lobby with stained-glass windows. Residents can enjoy a landscaped roof deck with breathtaking views, an herb garden, and seating areas for relaxation. Additional amenities include a central laundry room, a playroom, a bike room, and resident storage.
Convenience is at your doorstep, with the 1, 2, and 3 trains just two blocks away, as well as proximity to Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Equinox, and Starbucks . Shareholders at The DeSoto also benefit from a 17% primary residence tax abatement - a savings of about one month of maintenance each year. Flip tax paid by buyer.

Alternate floor plan is subject to Board and DOB approval.

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.
