Adjoining the dining room is a windowed kitchen adorned with sleek granite countertops, a glossy white tile backsplash, custom natural wood and glass-fronted cabinetry, and high-end stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher and gas stove.
The king-size primary suite has a reach-in closet and a windowed en-suite bathroom with a pedestal sink and walk-in shower.

Finishing the home is a windowed full bathroom with lovely floor-to-ceiling tilework, built-in shelves, and a deep soaking tub with a sliding glass shower partition.
Built in 1915, The Von Colon is a stately boutique co-op nestled just off Riverside Park-an iconic Hudson River greenspace with playgrounds, athletic facilities, picnic lawns, and miles of lush walking, jogging, and biking paths. Whole Foods and Central Park are a few blocks east, and abundant dining and shopping options can be found along Broadway and Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues.
The building has private storage, a bicycle room, a virtual doorman, and shared laundry facilities. Accessible subway lines include the 1, 2, 3, B, and C. Pets are welcome.
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.
