Our first NYC open house for December 12 and 13 is a textbook example of Upper West Side prewars. It boasts airy dimensions, with high ceilings, a large primary bedroom, and an even bigger second bedroom. One of them is divided from the living room by French doors topped with a stained-glass transom. There’s also a remodeled, windowed eat-in kitchen with dishwasher. And it’s all in a great location close to multiple parks, St. John the Divine, and Columbia University. To learn more, reach out to a StreetEasy Expert on the listing.
