Top-floor living, exceptional light and low monthly maintenance come together in this classic Upper West Side two-bedroom 1 bath coop.
Perched on the sixth and top floor of a boutique prewar elevator building, residence 6B is a bright and gracious two-bedroom, one-bath home with a well-proportioned layout and the warmth and character that define the best of the Upper West Side.
The home features 9'7" ceilings, hardwood floors and a comfortable separation of living, dining and sleeping spaces. A thoughtfully renovated, windowed kitchen offers excellent storage and workspace, while the renovated windowed bathroom brings a clean, timeless finish. Both bedrooms are nicely removed from the entertaining spaces, with outlooks over the surrounding townhouse gardens and neighborhood.
Low monthly maintenance adds meaningful value. The building offers a live-in superintendent, basement laundry, bike storage and a dedicated private storage locker. Best of all, the large common roof deck is just one flight above the apartment-close enough to feel like an extension of the home and an exceptionally convenient place to relax, dine or entertain outdoors.
The location is quintessential Upper West Side: a quiet, tree-lined block just off West End Avenue and moments from Riverside Park, with Broadway's neighborhood institutions close at hand. Zabar's at 80th and Broadway is just a few blocks away, along with the restaurants, cafés and everyday conveniences that make the West 80s one of Manhattan's most enduring residential neighborhoods. The 1 train at 86th Street provides convenient access downtown.
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.
