Soaring 12-ft ceilings and your own private roof deck - in Manhattan, that's not a listing, that's a lifestyle.
Welcome to Unit 5F at 316 West 103rd Street, a beautifully appointed one-bedroom, one-bathroom residence at The Gershwin House - a stunning Beaux Arts townhouse that was once home to legendary brothers and collaborators, lyricist Ira Gershwin and composer George Gershwin. This charming co-op delivers the kind of space and outdoor access that rarely comes available on the Upper West Side. The moment you step inside, the dramatic ceiling height sets this home apart, with oversized windows flooding the space with natural light and an airy, loft-like feel that makes every square foot feel larger than life.
A tasteful entryway with a large closet leads into an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area. The windowed kitchen is equipped with custom cabinets and a full suite of appliances. Beautiful hardwood floors run throughout, and the spacious 20-ft bedroom offers a true retreat from the energy of the city, complete with a built-in workstation and a huge closet.
But the crown jewel of 5F is a private roof deck - your own outdoor sanctuary with lovely city and river views high above the Manhattan skyline. Whether it's a morning coffee, an al fresco dinner, or a sunset glass of wine, this space is a rare and coveted bonus that transforms city living.
Located on the vibrant Upper West Side, you're less than a half-block from Riverside Park and the Hudson River, moments from Central Park, and steps from the best dining, shopping, and culture the neighborhood has to offer. The building features an elevator, common laundry, and a gorgeous limestone facade. With easy access to the 1/2/3 trains, the rest of Manhattan is always within reach.
Private outdoor space. Soaring ceilings. Prime location. This home is the one.
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.
