About This Property
Renovated 2 Bedroom / 2 Bathroom with In-Unit Washer/Dryer
A gracious entry sequence sets the tone in this beautifully renovated home at The DeSoto - a distinguished Beaux Arts co-op nestled on one of the Upper West Side's most picturesque, tree-lined blocks.
A proper foyer opens into a large, dedicated dining area - a versatile anchor for both intimate dinners and easy entertaining. The living room commands the space with soaring 9'5" ceilings, original plaster molding, and a span of nearly 18 feet that accommodates multiple seating arrangements with room to breathe.
The windowed kitchen has been thoughtfully renovated with dark espresso cabinetry, granite countertops, a subway tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances including a Bosch dishwasher and gas range. Just beyond, a dedicated laundry room - housing a full-size washer and dryer - doubles as a home office and storage flex space, a genuinely practical amenity in any Manhattan home.
The primary bedroom is generously proportioned with a custom walk-in closet and a beautifully renovated en-suite windowed bath. The second bedroom is comfortable and well-scaled, served by its own full second bathroom - a rare and highly coveted feature in the building.
Throughout, prewar character meets considered modern renovation: solid oak floors, tall ceilings, original molding, and generous closet space in every room.
The DeSoto, built in 1917, is a distinguished Beaux Arts co-op located on a prime Upper West Side block. This pet-friendly, full-service building features a 24-hour doorman, a live-in super, and a stunning marble lobby with stained-glass windows. Residents can enjoy a landscaped roof deck with breathtaking views, an herb garden, and seating areas for relaxation. Additional amenities include a central laundry room, a playroom, a bike room, and resident storage. Convenience is at your doorstep, with the 1, 2, and 3 trains just two blocks away, as well as proximity to Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Equinox, and Starbucks. Shareholders at The DeSoto also benefit from a 17% primary residence tax abatement - a savings of about one month of maintenance each year. Flip tax paid by buyer.
