Available November 15th 2025

Incredible loft-like 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath condominium in The Merrion, a handsome prewar landmark in the heart of the Upper West Side. Meticulously renovated yet rich with original character, this 1,517-square-foot residence perfectly balances timeless elegance and contemporary sophistication.

The expansive open-concept living and dining area is ideal for both entertaining and relaxed everyday living, enhanced by high coffered and beamed ceilings, wide-plank oak floors, and oversized western-facing windows that flood the home with natural light. Custom built-ins add both charm and functionality, while the thoughtful layout allows for a potential second full bathroom (alternate floor plan available).

The chef's kitchen is beautifully appointed with custom cabinetry, black stone countertops, and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances. Two serene bedrooms feature excellent closet space and tranquil treetop views, including a spacious primary suite. The marble full bath and powder room are finished with mosaic tile floors and high-end fixtures.

Additional highlights include a gracious entry foyer with ample closet space, central air conditioning, and an in-unit washer/dryer.

Originally built in 1915 and reimagined as a full-service condominium in 2008, The Merrion offers white-glove amenities including a 24-hour doorman and concierge, live-in resident manager, fitness center, children's playroom, and a landscaped rooftop terrace with open city views. A marble lobby, private storage, bike room, and additional laundry facilities complete the offering.

Perfectly situated on West 88th Street near Amsterdam Avenue, this location places you moments from Central Park, Riverside Park, gourmet dining, boutique shopping, and convenient transportation options.

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.
