272 West 107th Street, 7-A

This beautiful home in the Straus Park Condo is a "flex 4," with high ceilings and a functional layout that flows with grace and light. The living room and library/office have wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows that drench the apartment with Western sunlight. The expansive view overlooks the treetops of Straus Park, the century-old pocket park that gives this full-time doorman building its name. A set-back chef's kitchen features stainless steel appliances, countless cabinets, and large countertops for cooking. The dining area, which is next to the kitchen, is large enough to accommodate a table for 8 (or more!). The main bedroom suite has its own bathroom with a shower and deep soaking tub, beautifully tiled in light colors. You'll find lots of closets and again those large floor-to-ceiling windows, letting in the morning sunshine. The two other bedrooms, each one large enough for any size bed, share a bathroom, and also have tons of closet space. No convenience is spared: the apartment has a powder room for your guests and a vented washer-dryer in its own closet, and the rental even includes a massive storage bin downstairs. The Straus Park Condominium is a full-service luxury building featuring two landscaped roof terraces, a gym, and a playroom. This boutique building has only 64 apartments and is right in the heart of the Upper West Side's most vibrant neighborhood. It's a short walk to three of New York's finest parks, and you'll be just steps away from fine restaurants, top-notch shopping, transportation, grocery stores, authentic eateries, and what many would call the best bagel in the city. Transportation is so close by with subways and buses to make this convenient to downtown, uptown and the East Side.
