Why It’s So Popular

The listing description for this dreamy Upper West Side 1-bedroom oasis calls it a “true jewel box,” and we’re inclined to agree. The apartment oozes prewar charm at every turn without skimping on modern conveniences and its location along West 87th Street between Amsterdam and Columbus Avenues puts it less than two blocks away from Central Park.

Situated on the parlor level of a five-story townhouse, the abode has ceilings that soar 12 feet high and are complemented by exposed brick, wood-framed oversized windows, and hardwood floors throughout. The expansive living room features a working fireplace and an elevated loft area that can be utilized as additional storage space or a sleeping area, as it can accommodate a queen-sized bed. After a renovation, the kitchen — adjacent to the living room — offers marble countertops, a Bertazzoni Stove, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator.
