Property Description for 129 West 89th Street, 36

UWS 1-Bed Gem Welcome to 129 West 89th Street, Apartment #36. Situated on the 3rd floor of this airy 1900's building, apartment 36 welcomes you to Upper Westside living at it's most charming. Think Norah Ephron movies, dreamy fall days, and you get my idea. Upon entry to the apartment, high ceilings and hardwood floors welcome you into the hallway, which provides access to all rooms in the apartment, as well as the hall closeting. To the right of the hall, passing the apartment video intercom system, you are lead to the well appointed windowed bathroom. This is a newly renovated, bright, clean space complete with Marmi White Calacatta matte tiled floor, low profile bathtub and large standing shower area with sliding door system, accompanied with shelving and slimline vanity unit. The bathroom has a newly installed Kohler toilet with Toto electrical seat. Off the bathroom is the spacious bedroom, with tall rear, inner courtyard facing windows, a built in closeting system, and ample space for a suite of bedroom furniture and more. This bedroom is tucked into the rear of the apartment, and is pin drop quiet. Its blackout blinds make this a perfect sanctuary for sleep. Moving back through the hallway, you pass a windowed dining nook, comfortably accommodating a large circular table for four. The windowed kitchen is conveniently next to this dining area, and is also a newly renovated space, with Empira White quartz countertops, a tiled backsplash, a Kraus stainless steel undermount sink, Bosch 4-unit gas burner stove top, low-profile Frigidaire convection oven, same brand fridge-freezer unit, and Fisher & Paykel dishwasher drawer. An additional Empira White quartz countertop, which overlooks the living room, serves as a fantastic prep station for cooking and baking, as well as additional space for coffee machines, mixers and other everyday accessories you may enjoy using. Additional cupboarding provisions are provided underneath this counter. Stepping down into the double windowed living room, you are welcomed into a lovely space for entertaining or simply relaxing. Recently painted color tones are muted greys and creams, working beautifully with the dappled light of the autumn foliage. Heaters sit beneath these windows, and the room is finished cleanly with crown moulding and floor trim. The building entrance is a double door entry lobby, leading to a mail and package area, all within a large bright foyer. This is also where the building's elevator is situated. Laundry facilities are provided in the basement, and building services are supported by a live-in Super. Unit #36's living room views are directly out onto a landmarked building by CBJ Snyder, with a grand and beautiful facade. The apartment building itself is situated right next to the meticulously maintained West Side Community Garden, which is a wonderful space to have as your own neighboring community garden and nature space. West 89th Street between Columbus and Amsterdam avenues, is also home to Ballet Hispanico at the Arnhold Center, within the beautifully landmarked Claremont Stables, built in 1892. Private monthly parking is also available at the neighboring Monterey Garage. A monthly assessment of $214.99 is currently in place. The seller is willing to offer the buyer a contribution toward this current cost.

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.
