About This Property
Grand proportions, exceptional light, and timeless prewar elegance define this sprawling 3 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom residence with a separate den at the iconic Belnord Condominium. Never before offered on the open market, this exceptional home presents a rare opportunity to own a gracious and generously proportioned residence with a classic layout in one of the Upper West Side's most celebrated buildings.
A large entry gallery leads into an expansive living/dining room, where soaring 10-foot ceilings, oversized windows, and beautiful southern sunlight create a wonderful sense of space and grandeur that lends itself to both elegant entertaining and easy, everyday living. The oversized primary suite is a peaceful retreat, complete with a luxurious, windowed marble bathroom featuring double sinks, a deep soaking tub, and a separate stall shower. Two additional bedrooms each enjoy their own en-suite bathrooms and the generously sized, eat-in kitchen offers abundant counter space and cabinetry.
A particularly special feature of this residence is the spacious separate den, a coveted bonus room not commonly found in the building. Perfect as a library or additional gathering space, it provides exceptional flexibility to suit a variety of needs. Every room enjoys an open outlook, with the bedrooms overlooking the magnificent landscaped courtyard. Additional highlights include central air, hardwood floors, generous closet and storage space, a full size washer/dryer and an abundance of beautiful prewar character.
The Belnord is one of the Upper West Side's most distinguished architectural landmarks, renowned for its grand scale, elegant design, and spectacular landscaped interior courtyard. The unrivaled 30,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities, include a 24-hour attended lobby, expansive porte-cochere, and 22,000 square foot courtyard and garden, evoking total privacy and tranquility. The light-filled, two-story Belnord Club further offers a wealth of options for relaxation and entertainment, including a state-of-the-art fitness center with steam and sauna, an impressive double-height sports court with a basketball hoop, a luxurious Club Lounge, separate dining room, children's playroom, and teen room.

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 bedrooms overlook the building's 22,000 square foot landscaped courtyard.
Because the listing describes southern light, the sun figures for a south-facing window are worth knowing. At the winter solstice, direct sun can run from roughly 7:41 in the morning until 4:07 in the afternoon, about 8.5 hours, and at the summer solstice from roughly 9:55 in the morning until 4:01 in the afternoon, about 6.1 hours. The living and dining room has 10-foot ceilings and a large entry gallery leading into it, and nearby buildings can block some of that sun, so it's worth seeing the room at different times of day.
In the eat-in kitchen, generous counter space and cabinetry make it a practical room for everyday cooking. The separate den is the detail I'd look at first. It's a bonus room that isn't common in this building, and it can work as a library, a home office or a second place to gather.
A windowed marble bathroom serves the primary suite, with double sinks and a deep soaking tub, and a separate stall shower sits beside them. The two additional bedrooms each have their own en-suite bathroom. Central air and hardwood floors run through the home, and the full-size washer and dryer in the unit means laundry stays at home.
The Belnord Club has a fitness center with steam and sauna, a double-height sports court, and a Club Lounge with a separate dining room. A children's playroom and a teen room are also there. The building also has a billiard room, a game room, and a resident lounge, and a bike room is included as well. Riverside Park is about 7 minutes away on foot, the 1 train at 86th Street is about a minute away, and Key Food is about 2 minutes away.
