Why It’s So Popular

Stepping into this Upper West Side alcove studio feels like a journey through time with its cherished turn-of-the-century features. Notably, the impressive 11’4″ ceilings, polished wood floors, and a warm gas fireplace paint a picture of timeless elegance.

Size is another luxury here. The space isn’t just big; it’s clever. Take the three large windows, for instance. They aren’t merely windows; they are portals that let in a wash of natural light, making the room feel open and airy. And then there’s the kitchen. Compact yet charming, it’s all about getting the most out of every inch.

Dining in this apartment is a treat. A well-placed dining area lies just a few steps from the kitchen, merging functionality with comfort. Looking for more? Look up. The loft doesn’t just offer a great view of the living area; it’s also a clever storage solution, ensuring everything has its place.

But it’s not just about the apartment. It’s also about the location. Nestled in the Upper West Side-Central Park West Historic District, the residence shares a block with a series of Renaissance Revival brownstones brilliantly designed by Neville and Bagge. These brownstones aren’t just buildings; they give the street an irreplaceable charm.
