Prewar Charm, Serious Space & Sunlight on the Upper West Side
Some apartments have square footage, some have character. This apartment has both. Perched on the top floor, Residence 6B is an oversized, sun-filled one-bedroom with the proportions, architectural detail and separation of space that are increasingly hard to find.
A gracious entry leads through arched openings to a step-down living room with built-in shelving, where southern light, hardwood floors and high ceilings create a space that feels both expansive and distinctly New York.
The flexible layout offers room to truly live: a separate dining area is equally suited to dinner parties or a dedicated home office, while windows in both the kitchen and bath add two more coveted prewar features. The bedroom easily accommodates a king-size bed with room to spare, and the home offers ample closet storage throughout.
210 West 103rd Street is a well-maintained elevator co-op with a live-in super, virtual doorman, central laundry, bicycle storage and private storage available for rent. The building is pet-friendly and permits pied-à-terres and subletting, all with board approval.
Riverside Park and Central Park are both within easy reach, neighborhood restaurants and cafés surround you, and the 1 train is at your doorstep, with the express 2/3 and B/C nearby.
Quick Profile
Many New Yorkers have walked through this small neighborhood countless times but may be unfamiliar with its name, which is often folded into the vastness of the Upper West Side. An ameatuer might even confuse the neighborhood with Harlem, Morningside Heights, or make up a new geographically descriptive name like, Upper Upper Westside. Manhattan Valley is bounded by 110th Street to the north, 96th Street to the south, Central Park West to the east and Broadway to the west.
Manhattan Valley is a diverse, mostly residential neighborhood that is rich in history. The north side of the neighborhood has no shortage of historic row houses and distinctive buildings designed in a Romanesque, Victorian Gothic and Queen Ann style of architecture. If you’re a fan of architecture this may be an ideal place to visit. Contrasting the neighborhood's classical architecture in the north are the modern buildings of Columbus Square on the south side.
