The bedroom can fit a king and has 3 closets and appealing black metal casement windows with dual direct exposures– east and north.

The structure has a 5,000-square-foot personal garden, laundry, roofing system balcony, 24-hour doorman, concierge, and bike storage. No pieds-à-terre, per co-op rules, which we respect. The location is fantastic, too: Near To Union Square which sweet little strip of Irving for coffee and pastries at Irving Farm and ice cream at Caffè Panna. Head north for takeout from the Smile and pantry staples at Kalustyan’s.

215 West 91st Street Image: Brown Harris Stevens A one-bedroom co-op in a beautiful Beaux-Arts structure straight off Broadway. We’re normally anti-virtual staging here, but if a Sputnik chandelier and sleeker sofas help purchasers see the natural appeal of this graciously laid-out home then so be it. Enter through a foyer and to your right there’s a stand-alone dining-room with timeless crown moulding and southern exposures. Advance to reach the kitchen area, a well designated galley with quartz countertops, and decent storage. Stay directly at the foyer and reach the living-room, with an oversize window, western exposures, and great parquets. The bedroom is held up at its own end of the house, which we like, and has south and western exposures for nice breezes and fantastic light. Tight for a king but it will fit, and there are two closets. The restroom is no frills– the tile is big format, Home Depot requirement, and dated. Upkeep is high at $2,726, but the structure has a 24-hour doorman, live-in super, elevator, laundry, a playroom, and a shared roof deck (the bike and storeroom might feature an extra charge).

A one-bedroom co-op in Carnegie Hill, an area I have actually pertained to truly like. A massive living room, almost 20 feet long, has high, beamed ceilings and corner built-ins for charm and storage. Go through to the dining nook off the galley kitchen, which the listing refers to as “triple mint condition” though is otherwise brief on details. Back through the living-room and down a nice hallway that features 3 closets there’s a majestic bathroom (the tile is charming) and a bedroom with more built-ins, double exposures, and one window that appears to run the length of the room. The maintenance is really Carnegie Hill at $2,238 a month, however there’s a doorman, storage, and central laundry, and Central Park is essentially your backyard. It’s actions to Fifth Avenue, though keep in mind the 97th Street of it all– you’re generally on the transverse, which suggests higher-volume traffic than other blocks in the community. That said, it’s still an extremely sweet location. Learn more about Yura on Madison, probably the very best chicken fingers I’ve ever had in my life. Ditto for the roast-beef sandwiches.
