59 W 71ST Street, New York City, NY 10023

One enters the apartment through a gracious entry gallery leading to a spacious south facing living room, and a large west facing formal dining room. From the living room, a separate private hallway leads to two well-proportioned south facing bedrooms. The master bedroom has an on suite bath. The second bedroom is across the hallway from the second bathroom. All the south facing rooms are sunny with views of the brownstones across the street and the skies above.

The maid’s room currently used as a home office, could also be used as a third bedroom. The maid’s bathroom houses the vented washer/dryer. The kitchen with a large pantry offers great counter space and storage, with a western exposure. The three west facing rooms get nice reflected light. There are handsome hardwood floors, 9’4″ ceilings, large windows throughout, and great closet space.

Three factors make 59 West 71st Street such a sought-after building. First its location, in the heart of the Upper West Side, makes it convenient to subways, shopping, Columbus Avenue dining, and Central Park – your own back yard. It a small boutique building with a friendly vibe – with a much treasured live-in super. It is well run financially, well maintained structurally, and, without a doorman, the maintenance charges remain low.

This 1928 prewar coop, located mid-block between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue has 10 stories, 39 units, and a lovely new lobby and elevator. Storage units and bicycle storage are available in the basement and off the lobby. Pied-a- terres are not encouraged, but pets are welcome.
