LOFT-LIKE TOP FLOOR PREWAR APARTMENT WITH PRIVATE ROOF TERRACE

Located on the top floor of a classic prewar walk-up, this move-in ready apartment offers a rare blend of charm, comfort, and a stunning private roof terrace.

Bathed in natural light from three exposures and featuring soaring 10-foot ceilings, the interior of this home boasts
approximately 1,200 square feet, wide-plank hardwood floors,
whitewashed exposed brick, and a working wood-burning fireplace for warmth and character.

The spacious living and dining areas are ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, with custom built-in shelving and room for an oversized dining table.

The private roof terrace is a true urban sanctuary — fully decked and thoughtfully landscaped with a variety of plantings: mature perennials, fresh herbs, and trees including apple, Japanese Maple, and Arborvitae. Custom wooden planters line the perimeter, and a rooftop storage shed, irrigation setup, and a composting system add both function and sustainability. With open sky views, this nearly 1,000 square foot terrace is perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying peaceful moments under the sun or stars. Access is available directly from the apartment via a sturdy wooden ladder and hatch or conveniently via the building’s staircase, offering flexibility and ease for guests and gatherings.

The renovated kitchen features floor-to-ceiling wood cabinetry, a large stainless steel island, an apron-front sink, and a full suite of GE stainless steel appliances, including a French-door refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and convection/standard oven.

The king-size bedroom offers tranquil treetop views and includes a large, movable two-sided closet. It can easily be converted into a two-bedroom layout if desired. Blackout blinds and light-filtering shades offer flexibility and privacy. The windowed bathroom includes a spacious walk-in shower and a vented Maytag washer and dryer, a rare amenity in prewar buildings.

Other highlights include the brand-new windows and through-wall A/C units, and the peacefulness of the top-floor living with no neighbors above.

This self-managed nine-unit cooperative offers shareholders low monthlies as well as basement storage for both belongings and bicycles.

Ideally located between Central Park and Riverside Park, and moments from the 1/2/3 and B/C trains, Whole Foods, and local favorites like Mama Too’s and Sushi W, this home combines classic Upper West Side living with exceptional outdoor space, modern comforts, and low carrying costs in a pet-friendly building. A downtown aesthetic in an uptown locale.
