About This Property
ONE BEDROOM + FORMAL DINING ROOM NOT YOUR ORDINARY ONE BEDROOM HOME!
Welcome home to this beautifully proportioned, move-in condition home that is a true four-room residence, complete with a proper formal dining room.
An entry foyer sets the tone, leading into a separate dining room that feels both elegant and inviting - perfect for dinner parties or everyday dining with room to spare. Just beyond, the large windowed kitchen has been fully renovated and is in pristine condition, featuring stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, great cabinet storage and abundant space to cook.
The generously sized living room enjoys western light and offers a spacious and relaxing setting, with opportunity for multiple furniture configurations.. The corner bedroom is a true highlight, with double exposures to the south and west that fill the space with beautiful natural light throughout the day. A windowed, updated bathroom, 9'4" ceilings, excellent closet space and hardwood floors complete the home.
The Desoto is a classic 1917 co-op known for its exquisite marble lobby and full-service offerings. Residents enjoy a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, a stunning landscaped roof deck with sweeping city views, playroom, central laundry, and bike and storage rooms (fees apply).
Perfectly situated on the Upper West Side near both Central Park and Riverside Park, the building offers easy access to the 1/2/3 subway lines and multiple bus routes. Pied-à-terre ownership is permitted with board approval.
The DeSoto applies the annual Real Estate Tax Abatement BACK TO THE SHAREHOLDERS. Therefore, for June 2026, the annual abatement for #94 will be $3,012.95 or amortized to approximately $251/month. There is a 2.5% Flip Tax, paid by the seller.
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.
The formal dining room sits just past the entry foyer in this 1917 elevator cooperative, where the ceilings measure 9 feet 4 inches and the hardwood floors run through the home.
Beyond the dining room, the large windowed kitchen was fully renovated and has stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, a dishwasher and good cabinet storage. There's enough room to cook without the work spilling into the rest of the home.
The living room gets western light and has space for more than one furniture arrangement. The corner bedroom has south and west exposures, so it gets light through much of the day. On the winter solstice, open-horizon geometry gives a south-facing window about 8.5 hours of direct sun, roughly between 7:41 AM and 4:07 PM. Nearby buildings can block that sun.
Excellent closet space pairs with an updated bathroom that has a window. Pets are allowed in the building, and the building has an elevator.
The 96th Street station, with the 1, 2 and 3 trains, is about 5 minutes on foot. Joan of Arc Park is about 5 minutes away, and Riverside Park is about 6 minutes. The listing notes that pied-a-terre ownership is permitted with board approval, so confirm the details of that policy with your attorney or broker.
