Property Description for 203 West 87th Street, 53

Renovated Split Two-Bedroom on a Quintessential Upper West Side Block

Set on a quaint tree-lined stretch of West 87th Street, this renovated split two-bedroom offers a thoughtful layout, excellent light, and the charm of classic Upper West Side living just moments from Central Park.

Perched on the top floor, Residence 53 enjoys a peaceful, sun-filled setting. A gracious entry hall with a large utility closet opens into a bright and inviting living and dining area, where hardwood floors, high ceilings, and multiple exposures create an airy sense of space. The windowed renovated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, updated countertops, generous cabinetry, and a cheerful tiled backsplash.

The oversized primary bedroom easily accommodates a king-size bed and includes two large closets, while the split-bedroom layout provides excellent separation and privacy. At the opposite end of the apartment, the second bedroom offers ample storage and flexible use as a bedroom (twin/full-bed), guest space, nursery, or home office. A gut-renovated bathroom, recessed lighting, and thoughtful updates throughout complete the home.

203 West 87th Street is a boutique, pet-friendly elevator cooperative with a live-in superintendent, laundry room, bike storage, general storage, and video intercom. Pied-à-terres are welcome, co-purchasing is permitted, and subletting is allowed with board approval.

The location is hard to beat, with Central Park nearby and beloved neighborhood destinations including Barney Greengrass, Jacob's Pickles, Tasca, La Farine Pâtisserie et Café, and Il Gusto Wine Bar all within easy reach. Convenient access to the 1, B, and C trains makes getting around the city effortless.

Residence 53 combines a smart layout, renovated interiors, and an exceptional Upper West Side location in a home that feels both comfortable and quintessential New York.

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.
