About This Property
Set within an architecturally distinctive 1891 brownstone condominium, Residence 4A is a thoughtfully designed two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath home in the heart of the Upper West Side. Situated on the fourth floor, this well-proportioned walk-up residence enjoys three exposures-south, east, and west-along with soaring 10-foot ceilings, creating an airy and wonderfully light-filled atmosphere throughout.
The inviting layout features a dedicated dining area, an open kitchen, generous custom closets, and the convenience of an in-unit washer and dryer. The primary bedroom is particularly special, filled with beautiful natural light and overlooking a picturesque park-a peaceful and scenic outlook rarely found in the city. The generously sized second bedroom comfortably accommodates a queen-size bed and enjoys southern exposure.
The building's handsome Queen Anne and Romanesque Revival facade, combined with its intimate brownstone scale, lends the residence a distinctive sense of charm, warmth, and privacy. It is a character-filled alternative to the larger, more impersonal condominium buildings found throughout the neighborhood.
Ideally located just moments from Central Park, Riverside Park, and the American Museum of Natural History, the home is surrounded by some of the Upper West Side's most beloved destinations, including Zabar's, Fairway, Tacombi, and Daily Provisions. Exceptional dining, shopping, culture, and transportation are all close at hand, with convenient access to the B, C, 1, 2, and 3 subway lines.
With beautiful parks, vibrant neighborhood amenities, and multiple transportation options just outside your door, Residence 4A offers the best of Upper West Side living: architectural character, gracious proportions, modern convenience, and an enviable location.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Brown Harris Stevens Residential Sales LLC.
Residence 4A has windows facing south, east and west, and its 10-foot ceilings give the 744 square feet a bright, open feel. In winter, the south-facing windows get about 8.5 hours of direct sun, from 7:41 AM to 4:07 PM, and in June about 6.1 hours, from 9:55 AM to 4:01 PM. Those figures assume an open horizon, and nearby buildings can block some of that light.
The primary bedroom overlooks a park, and the second bedroom faces south and has room for a queen-size bed. The dining area is set apart from the open kitchen, and the custom closets are a practical touch in a home this size, since they help keep the rooms uncluttered. I like that the layout gives each room a clear use without making the apartment feel divided.
There's a washer and dryer in the unit, and a dishwasher is included, which is a daily convenience in an apartment this compact. The listing describes the residence as a walk-up on the fourth floor, and the building is an 1891 brownstone condominium with a Queen Anne and Romanesque Revival facade.
Its smaller scale gives the home a more personal character than the larger condominium buildings nearby. Pets are allowed.
You'll find the 79 St station on the 1 train about 3 minutes on foot, and the 72 St station, served by the 1, 2 and 3, is about 8 minutes away. Theodore Roosevelt Park is about 5 minutes away, Riverside Park about 7 and Central Park about 9. Zabar's, Fairway and Citarella are each within about 4 to 5 minutes on foot.
