Description

Welcome to a rarely available, spacious pre-war one-bedroom, one-bathroom residence, perfectly situated near the Museum of Natural History. Bathed in natural light, this sun-drenched home captures the charm and energy of New York living with its graceful pre-war moldings, generously sized rooms, and over 9-foot beamed ceilings. Northwestern and southwestern exposures create an airy, inviting atmosphere with expansive city views.

The well-designed kitchen boasts ample storage, a Bertazzoni 4-burner oven, Bosch microwave, and a dishwasher.

The king-sized bedroom suite features an en-suite bath and a hallway flanked by two large closets, offering both exceptional privacy and comfort.

Set within the prominent Clifton House, a full-service luxury building constructed in the Italian Renaissance-palazzo style in 1926, this home gives residents both the convenience of exciting city life and the tranquility of an escape. Residents enjoy a 24-hour attended lobby, a live-in superintendent, and newly updated laundry facilities. The beautifully landscaped rooftop deck is a peaceful sanctuary with herb gardens, breathtaking sunsets, and stunning panoramic views of the city.

Clifton House offers a suite of amenities, including 75% financing, storage (subject to availability), a bike room, and a pet-friendly policy.

Additionally, the absence of a flip tax enhances the appeal for savvy buyers. Located just two blocks from Central Park, this apartment is in close proximity to major subway and bus lines, gourmet grocery stores, and a bustling weekly farmer’s market.

With maintenance fees covering gas, electricity, and taxes, this is an outstanding opportunity to live in one of the Upper West Side’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
