332 W 101st St APT 5F, Manhattan, NY 10025

Own for less than renting! This elegant one bedroom apartment offers a serene retreat on a picturesque, tree-lined block with Riverside Park at the end of the block. This apartment has a remarkably low maintenance (the $980/month includes real estate taxes) making the transition from renting easier. Subletting, pied a terres, parents buying for or with children, co-purchasing, guarantors, and gifting are permitted. Set on the top floor (no neighbors above you) of a distinguished limestone townhouse built in 1901, this residence exudes pre-war charm with 9’5” ceilings, a decorative fireplace, and impeccably preserved hardwood floors. Oversized windows frame leafy treetop views along tranquil 101st street, while a well-designed layout features generous closets and no wasted square footage. The recently upgraded open kitchen, with a breakfast bar, new floors, backsplash, and stove, seamlessly integrates style and function. The spacious living room can also accommodate dining and a work from home setup. A dishwasher can be installed. This self-managed cooperative is comprised of nine residences and has a shared laundry room and bike storage. This solidly constructed prewar home was built on a hill and is now part of the West End Historic District. Cats are welcome. Steeped in history, the block is part of a distinctive stretch of the Upper West Side celebrated for its early 20th-century architecture and close-knit community. This residence offers a refined lifestyle and is 100 ft away from 200 acres of Riverside Park, the Hudson River Greenway bike and running trail, many picnic spots, acclaimed restaurants, inviting cafes, and beloved local landmarks, all in one of Manhattan’s most storied neighborhoods. Ideally situated, the building is close to the 103rd Street subway station (1 line) and the 96th Street station (1, and express 2 and 3 lines), ensuring swift access to the rest of the city. Columbia University, just a short distance away, enriches the neighborhood's cultural and intellectual vibrancy. Whole Foods, Target, HomeGoods, and other shops, and the A,B,C line are just a few avenues away.
