Investor-Friendly, Studio / Easily Convertible One-Bed in Prime Upper West Side
Welcome to The Berkeley at 170 West 74th Street-an extraordinary pre-war gem offering unmatched flexibility, plus both ownership and investment potential in the heart of the Upper West Side. This extra-large studio easily converts to a one-bedroom and is located in an investor-friendly co-op that operates with condo-like policies: unlimited subletting from day one, easy application process, pied- -terre ownership, gifting, co-purchasing, guarantors, and flexible financing are all allowed.
Bathed in natural light, this dramatic home features oversized windows with open city skyline views, high-beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, and spacious rooms filled with pre-war charm. A gracious entry foyer, a windowed bathroom, and two oversized walk-in closets enhance both functionality and style. The apartment is currently configured as an oversized studio and can be easily converted to a one-bedroom by simply adding a wall. Certain photos are virtually staged with furniture. Alternative floorplan is subject to board approval.
The Berkeley spoils residents with white-glove amenities including a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, porter, fully equipped laundry room, and stunning artful lobby. There are two passenger elevators and a service elevator for convenience.
Located directly across from Verdi Square Park and minutes from the 1/2/3 subway lines (and just a short walk to the B/C trains), this location offers ultimate convenience. Beloved neighborhood favorites like Levain Bakery, Trader Joe's, Citarella, Fairway, Westside Market, and a multitude of restaurants and cafes are just outside your door. Lincoln Center, the Beacon Theatre, and the Metropolitan Opera provide world-class entertainment minutes away.
With no flip tax and a high investor ownership ratio, this unit is an excellent choice for buyers seeking a flexible, high-demand property in one of Manhattan's most cherished neighborhoods.

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.
