215 West 91st St. #105

Experience open views and abundant natural light all day long in this beautiful high-floor 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath home with a separate formal dining room at the DeSoto.

Enter through a gracious 29-foot-long entrance gallery, at the end of which is your south-facing sunlit living room. The entire home is replete with pre-war charm, from the picture moldings and exquisite baseboards, to the glass-paned French doors and high ceilings. Closet space abounds, with many hidden storage nooks and numerous cohesive custom built-ins throughout. With Eastern, Southern and Northern exposures from 11 oversized windows, the light streams in throughout the day in every room.

The large windowed kitchen features stainless steel appliances, including a SubZero refrigerator and an LG washer/dryer, attractive shaker-style cabinetry and natural stone counters and backsplash.

The primary bedroom has both Eastern and Southern exposures, custom built-in closets, a window seat and a large walk-in closet. Both bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom featuring imported Italian mosaic glass tiles, a deep Jacuzzi tub and built-in cabinetry. As confirmed with the super, the building permits the addition of another full bathroom with board approval (see alternate floor plan where others in this line have added a bathroom).

The DeSoto is an established full-service co-op located in the prime Upper West Side. This gorgeous Beaux Arts building was constructed in 1917 and features a 24-hour doorman, live-in super, and gracious marble lobby with stained glass windows. The landscaped roof deck has breathtaking views, seating throughout and an herb garden for resident plantings. In addition, there is a central laundry room, a playroom, resident storage and a bike room. Enjoy this convenient location two blocks to the 1, 2, and 3 trains, close to Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Symphony Space and sandwiched between Central Park and Riverside Park. Pieds-a-terre are permitted. Pet friendly.

There is an additional $40 monthly charge for premium cable and high-speed internet. Additionally, unlike the vast majority of Manhattan co-ops, residents of the DeSoto are actually given the co-op/condo primary residence tax abatement each year (as opposed to the co-op keeping the benefit for its reserves), amounting to a substantial annual benefit. In 2022, this unit was abated $3,589.95, thereby reducing maintenance by $299.16 each month. The net maintenance number after this abatement is reflected in the listing.
