The Von Colon at 311 West 97th St. #1N

The word to describe this property is Rare.

This renovated six-room apartment features three bedrooms and is unlike any other on the market. From the moment you walk in, you sense that something is different. You arrive and immediately take in the expanse of the public rooms, the living, dining and kitchen all open to each other. Loft-like ceilings over ten feet high, original 1900’s woodwork, lovingly restored, an enormous eat-in kitchen, and a 60-foot wide, 500 square foot private backyard that spans the full width of the building- a true feeling of space, warmth, calm, quiet. This layout feels like a one-level maisonette, a place in which to spread out, relax and feel at home in all seasons. Extremely low monthly maintenance makes this an opportunity not to be missed!

You will not find anything else like this on the Upper West Side. Features include renovated windowed kitchen, renovated windowed baths, washer/dryer, decorative fireplace, custom millwork and built-ins, charming and updated details, and closets, everywhere. The manicured backyard begs you to invite friends or family over for entertaining, and the apartment is suited to do just that, year round.

The half bath can be easily expanded to a full-bath if one wishes, though the apartment is in move-in condition.
