Property Description for 174 West 89th Street, 4-D

TOWNHOUSE-LIKE PRE-WAR w/SURPRISE OPEN SOUTHERN VIEW

TREE-TOP & CITY PEEKS IN TROPHY LOCATION w/3 BRIGHT EXPOSURES

SOULFUL BEAUTY w/BIG KITCHEN, WASHER/DRYER, DINING AREA, HIGH CEILINGS & GOOD CLOSETS

A stroll down a tree-lined street -- one of the Upper Westside's most convenient -- brings you to a lovely, unassuming, historical building. A gentle few flights up -- easy and elegant -- brings you to a lovely, unassuming, door at the top of the boutique pre-war building. That door is the portal to a very special place. Lovely and unassuming? Sure -- but also magical, comforting, dramatic, peaceful, sun-filled and beautiful. Here is a soul-stunner of pre-war bliss -- a higher-floor-home among the treetops -- a stretch-out space that shines brightly and lives sweetly. Here is a residence whose character and spirit feel good -- and stay in your heart forever.

The open-plan living/dining rooms enjoy a surprise open park space beyond their overscaled South-facing windows. This brings in an abundance of sunshiney brightness, cheerfully expanding the space's high ceilings and grandly intimate scale. A well-scaled, windowed kitchen (with dishwasher and washer/dryer) serves this entertaining space beautifully. Big windows feature bright treetops, city views -- inviting you to look out, stretch out and get cozy.

The bedrooms are graciously apart from one another, the primary suite enjoying full Southern light and a wall of custom closets, and the guest bedroom offering tranquility and privacy off of this home's gallery/hall. A sizeable, full, classic, windowed bath brings this handsome, high-floor home's exposure count to three. Cross-breezes and sunshine abound.

Near the top, at a perfect penultimate level, this home enjoys a prime perch in its pet-friendly building, whose enviable location comes with bragging rights: Moments away are most every area cultural, shopping, dining, fitness, and entertainment destination -- not to mention equidistance from Central and Riverside Parks, and a plethora of easy transportation options. Life here is convenient, easy, and fun.

Here's the special space that will make you feel alive -- joyful. You'll feel comforted -- inspired. You'll feel right at home. A sweet, townhouse-like life awaits.

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.
