The Price: $650,000
The median asking price for a home on the Upper West Side was $1.7 million this May, according to the StreetEasy Data Dashboard. That means our Deal of the Week is priced at well under half the median asking price for the neighborhood!
Buyers who put down a 20% down payment of $130,000 can expect to see monthly payments of $4,338. This includes a mortgage payment of $3,543 and relatively low maintenance fees of $795. Monthly payments are also below the median asking rent on the Upper West Side, which was $4,500 this May!
Why You’ll Love It…
Upon entering the unit, you’ll make your way through an entryway lined with two large closets, providing convenient and spacious storage. The entryway opens into the living area, which features the gorgeous copper ceiling that gives the place a regal look and feel. In addition to another closet, the living room features a built-in TV, a window, and a wood-burning fireplace! Suffice it to say, this room will be super cozy during the colder months.
The galley-style kitchen is open to the living room and features a full suite of stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher. Quartz countertops and custom cabinetry bring the space together and make it super functional — no need to add extra storage or prep food on the dining table.
In its current layout, the apartment has a small bedroom with a door leading onto a private balcony, which is big enough for a small dining set. Plus, the bedroom has a window in addition to the door, so it should get good light throughout the day. Between the bedroom and the bathroom you’ll find a small nook perfect for a desk, and a closet with hookups for a washer and dryer (allowed with board approval). The unit also has the option to come furnished.
This home is located in an elevator building with a virtual doorman, shared laundry facilities, a bike room, a live-in super, and a landscaped roof deck. What more could you need? Location-wise, it’s right by Riverside Park, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, several gyms, and restaurants such as Carmine’s, Lucciola, Naruto Ramen, and Flor de Mayo. The 1, 2, and 3 trains are fewer than 500 feet away, and the B and C trains are nearby too.
…And Why You Might Not
Note that there’s an assessment in place of $112 a month, but only until December 2025. The bedroom isn’t a “true” bedroom as it doesn’t have permanent walls or a closet, but that also means the apartment can be a studio or reconfigured to your preferred layout. For all of its character, location, and great price, this one should definitely be on your list.
