Grand, Chef-Quality Kitchen and Pre-War Charm in the Heart of the Upper West Side

Welcome to Residence 1E at The Powellton — a rare and spacious three-bedroom, two-bath home tucked quietly at the rear of the elegant lobby level in a classic pre-war doorman co-op. With soaring ceilings of over 10 feet, abundant storage, and a kitchen that rivals those found in suburban homes, this residence blends timeless pre-war character with modern comfort in one of Manhattan’s most beloved neighborhoods.

The heart of this home is the truly oversized, windowed kitchen, designed to impress even the most serious home chef. Outfitted with rich floor-to-ceiling wood cabinetry, sleek granite counters, and top-tier appliances — including a Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, GE five-burner slide-in range, GE microwave, Bosch dishwasher, and Bosch washer/dryer — it also boasts a deep corner pantry, laundry closet with overhead storage, sink disposal, and a generous breakfast bar for casual dining or entertaining.

Living and dining areas are perfect for gathering, offering a seamless flow for entertaining with recessed lighting, soaring ceilings, and a warm, welcoming ambiance.

The smartly separated bedroom wing includes three true bedrooms. The primary suite features a tranquil, windowed en-suite bath with tub and dual vanity. The second bedroom is adjacent to a full hall bath with shower, and the third bedroom includes a large, deep closet. A linen closet and additional hallway storage add to the home’s practicality.

Additional highlights include a gracious entry foyer with coat closet and overhead storage, making the most of the ceiling height and pre-war detailing.

The Powellton is a pet-friendly full-service building with a stunningly restored tiled lobby, 24-hour doorman, resident superintendent, storage lockers for rent, bike room, and central laundry.

Located just one block from the 96th Street Express subway and crosstown bus, you’re also moments from Central Park, Riverside Park, and neighborhood staples like Whole Foods, HomeGoods, classic brunch spots, cozy cafés, family-friendly bistros, and beloved local delis.

Residence 1E offers a rare combination of pre-war charm, true space, and modern amenities in a location that captures the best of the Upper West Side’s residential, easygoing lifestyle. Ongoing assessments total $1,231.07.
