Maligayang pagdating sa magandang inayos na apartment na may dalawang kuwarto, na kasalukuyang ginagamit bilang maluwag na isang-kuwartong apartment, dalawang palapag lamang ang taas sa isang makasaysayang townhouse sa isang kalyeng may mga punong nakahanay sa Upper West Side.

Mula sa sandaling pumasok ka, mararamdaman ang init, liwanag, at pagiging kaaya-aya ng apartment, na may 10-talampakang kisame, klasikong sahig na hardwood, at maluluwag na sukat. Nagbibigay ang mga bintanang nakaharap sa hilaga ng magandang liwanag sa buong araw, habang ang mga tanawing mayayabong na puno ay lumilikha ng payapa at tila hiwalay sa ingay ng lungsod na pakiramdam.

Maingat na inayos ang apartment noong 2024, nang walang ipinagkait na gastos. Ganap na inayos ang kusina at banyo, habang maingat na ibinalik ang mga orihinal na detalye sa iba pang mga kuwarto, na lumikha ng magandang pagsasama ng makabagong ginhawa at klasikong kagandahan bago ang digmaan. Nakakakuha ng napakagandang likas na liwanag ang kusinang may bintana, at kapwa maganda at praktikal ito, na may sapat na espasyo para magluto, dishwasher, at sariling washer at dryer. Sa banyo, mahusay na napakinabangan ang espasyo gamit ang Carrara marble, mga makabagong kabit, at mga de-kalidad na materyales, habang nananatili itong malinis at komportable.

Nakaharap sa tahimik at madahong kalsada ang matataas na bintana ng sala. Madaling isipin ang pagrerelaks dito sa isang Linggo ng umaga habang umiinom ng kape, o ang pagpapahinga sa pagtatapos ng araw. Ang isa pang malaking kuwarto ay kasalukuyang ginagamit bilang lugar para sa kainan at pagtanggap ng mga panauhin, ngunit madali itong maaaring gawing malaking pangalawang kuwarto. Kalakip ang alternatibong plano ng sahig.

Maluwag ang kuwarto, na may sapat na espasyo para sa queen-sized na kama at karagdagang muwebles, o maaari rin itong gamitin bilang opisina. Nakaharap sa hilaga ang malawak na bintana, kaya sagana ang likas na liwanag.

Mahirap pantayan ang lokasyon, dahil ilang sandali lamang ang layo ng Riverside Park, magagandang gusali, mga kalyeng napapaligiran ng mga puno, mga lokal na café at restaurant, at istasyon ng subway. Malalapit din ang ilan sa mga paborito sa lugar, kabilang ang Zaad, Bánh, Arco Café, Living Thai, Marlow Bistro, Elis Wine Bar, Flor de Mayo, Fumo, at marami pang iba.

Isa itong natatanging kombinasyon: isang magandang inayos na apartment na pinapanatili ang orihinal nitong karakter, puno ng likas na liwanag at luntiang tanawin, sa isang kapitbahayang payapa at magiliw ngunit nag-aalok pa rin ng lahat ng dahilan kung bakit napakagandang tirahan ng Manhattan.

Welcome to this beautifully renovated two-bedroom apartment, currently being used as a spacious one-bedroom, just two flights up in a historic townhouse gracing a tree-lined Upper West Side street.

From the moment you walk in, the apartment feels warm, bright, and inviting, with 10-foot ceilings, classic hardwood floors, and generous proportions. Northern exposures bring beautiful light throughout the day, with leafy views that make the apartment feel peaceful and tucked away from the city.

The apartment was thoughtfully renovated in 2024, with no expense spared. The
kitchen and bathroom underwent gut renovations, while original details in other rooms were carefully restored, creating a great mix of modern comfort and prewar charm. The windowed kitchen gets wonderful natural light and is both beautiful and practical, with plenty of room to cook, a dishwasher, and an in-unit washer and dryer. In the bathroom, Carrara marble, modern fixtures and finishes make great use of the space while keeping it clean and comfortable.

The living room’s tall windows face a quiet, leafy street. It is easy to imagine spending a relaxing Sunday morning here with coffee, or settling in at the end of the day. The other large room is currently used as a dining and entertaining space, but can easily be converted into a large second bedroom. An alternate floor plan is attached.

The bedroom is generously sized, with plenty of room for a queen-sized bed and
additional furniture, or for potential use as an office. An expansive window faces north, ensuring abundant natural light.

The location is hard to beat, with Riverside Park, beautiful architecture, leafy streets,
local cafés and restaurants, and the subway just moments away. Some of the
neighborhood favorites are right nearby, including Zaad, Bánh, Arco Café, Living Thai, Marlow Bistro, Elis Wine Bar, Flor de Mayo, Fumo, and plenty of others.

It’s a special combination: a beautifully renovated apartment that preserves its original character, filled with natural light and greenery, in a neighborhood that feels relaxed and welcoming while still giving you everything that makes Manhattan such a wonderful place to live.
