A rare UWS dream - 1.5 bedroom prewar condominium charm, one block from Central Park.
Fully gut-renovated in 2024, this home blends timeless 1920s details with contemporary upgrades, offering the best of both worlds. The residence features high, beamed ceilings, wide-plank solid hickory hardwood floors, enviable customized closets as well as a dedicated storage space, all-new lighting and AC units, and an in-unit washer & dryer. The inviting living room is anchored by an elegant electric fireplace, creating a warm and comforting focal point.
The king-sized primary bedroom is spacious with east and south facing windows, while the flexible bonus room works perfectly as a home office or nursery. The intentionally crafted kitchen maximizes every inch with custom flirtatious blush cabinetry, quartz countertops, porcelain tiling, and stainless steel appliances. The smartly configured bathroom showcases a marble-and-glass shower, porcelain flooring, a sliding barn door, and a fogless touch vanity mirror for a modern finish.
The Westerly Condominium is a classic boutique, elevator building with only six units per floor, offering simplicity and discretion. Amenities include a live-in super and handyman, part-time doorman, additional laundry facilities, courtyard in the back of the building, and resident storage. Built in 1925, the thick brick masonry affords quietness, insulation, and attractive period charm. Come for the convenience, stay for the friendly neighbors and low monthlies. Pets are welcome, too.
Perfectly located on a tree lined street between Central Park and Riverside Park, the building sits moments from the 1/2/3 and A/B/C subway lines. Trader Joe's is 1 minute away, while Whole Foods, Target, and the Columbus Square shopping corridor are also nearby, along with beloved neighborhood cafés and restaurants-including Jacob's Pickles coming soon right across the street.
This home offers a rare combination of historic charm, modern convenience, and an unbeatable location - making it a true Upper West Side gem.
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.
