Description

Welcome to residence 5A, a move-in ready one bedroom in the heart of the Upper West Side. This home is a rare find, combining pre-war detail with modern conveniences. Upon entering, an elegant foyer leads to the open living/dining space that boasts high (approx.

10 -foot) beamed ceilings and an oversized eastern facing Thermopane window.

The living quarters are set back from the rest of the home, offering a serene retreat. The king - sized bedroom provides plenty of storage with two generous closets and additional built-ins under the large window. Custom- fitted blackout window shades provide an additional level of comfort and privacy.

Conveniently located across the hall, the windowed bathroom features designer wallpaper, marble tile, and two large medicine cabinets.

Accessed by a wall of custom closets, the windowed chef’s kitchen is outfitted with stainless steel appliances, abundant storage space, and stunning soapstone countertops. The kitchen also offers a vented stove, brass hardware, white tiled backsplash, and an overall feeling of elegance.

To top it all off, this home offers Central AC, an in-unit Miele Washer/Dryer, and rich oak hardwood floors throughout. Additional tasteful details include grasscloth wallpaper, glossy black doors and moldings, and Forbes & Lomax light switches in every room.

An 8.5’x6’ storage unit is available for purchase with the sale for $25,000.

Built in 1915 and converted to condominiums in 2008, The Merrion is a distinguished pre-war building situated between two of NYC’s most stunning parks, Central Park & Riverside Park. Residents are greeted by a beautifully restored marble lobby and a 24-hour doorman with concierge. Amenities include a fitness center, children’s playroom, laundry room, bike storage, and a stunning rooftop terrace with city views.

215 West 88th is truly the heart of the Upper West Side with an abundance of restaurants, cafes, shopping, and even a movie theater a few blocks away. A brand new Key Foods just opened across the street on Broadway. Nearby transportation includes the 1,2, B, C lines at 86th street and multiple cross-town bus lines.
