Living in a brownstone on the Upper West Side is often idyllic — and just as often, expensive. Morning outings to Riverside Park, grocery trips to Zabar’s, and relaxing on a brick terrace might sound like the stuff of daydreams, but thanks to 313 W. 82nd St. #4A, it can be attained for under $600K. Our Deal of the Week is an Upper West Side 1-bedroom with a sleeping loft, small terrace, decorative fireplace, and exposed brick.

The Price: $550,000
The median asking price for a home on the Upper West Side was $1.8 million this May, according to the StreetEasy Data Dashboard. That means our Deal of the Week is priced below a third of the median asking price for the neighborhood!
Buyers who put down the minimum 20% down payment of $110,000 can expect to see monthly payments of $3,779. This includes a mortgage payment of $2,969 and a maintenance fee of $810. The monthly payment is also lower than the median asking rent on the Upper West Side, which was $4,500 this May.
Why You’ll Love It…
The most appealing part of this apartment has to be its grandeur, created by the vaulted 11.5-foot ceilings, exposed brick walls, and hardwood floors. Adding to the sense of refined vintage charm is the decorative fireplace and custom glass-and-brass shelving that flank either side of it, offering storage space and a small work station, all with a gorgeous aesthetic. Another practical feature is the closet in the entryway, in addition to the wall of custom built-in cabinets in the queen-sized bedroom.
Speaking of the bedroom, you have another sleeping option in the loft above the kitchen, which can be used as a guest room, storage space, or reading nook. A wall of built-in bookshelves definitely make the last option even more enticing! Right below, the kitchen is outfitted with custom navy blue cabinetry and a stone backsplash that extends to the ceiling. You’ll also find a full-size stainless steel oven and fridge.
In addition to the great interior, this unit comes with private outdoor space in the form of a half-circle terrace. With just enough space for a bistro table, it’s the perfect spot to sip a beverage while overlooking Riverside Park, which is just feet away from the building.
Also nearby? Countless restaurants, like Jacob’s Pickles, Maison Pickle, and Barney Greengrass. Zabar’s and Fairway are also close by for groceries, in addition to the Children’s Museum of Manhattan, Barnes & Noble, and an AMC movie theater. Located in a renovated brownstone with laundry and a pet-friendly policy (up to 25 lbs.), the building also has easy access to the 1, 2, 3, B, and C trains.
…And Why You Might Not
Buyers will have to climb up four floors to get to the walk-up unit, plus climb up a ladder to get to the sleeping loft, so look elsewhere if climbing isn’t your thing. The terrace is only accessible via window, not a door, but the window is large enough to comfortably fit through.
If these aren’t dealbreakers, be sure to shortlist this one!
