All of these seem to be the very attributes that take the cake on the prime Upper Westside. Well, if you're keeping score and checking boxes, then your smile should be pretty big about now.


Soulful, timeless, and easy-to-love, this double-corner, triple exposure home is a winsome standout for all the best reasons. The winsome vibe and grand scale come together with a plan and flow that really work. Ceilings soar extra-high above you, solid hardwood planks are underfoot, and all around you is classic, vibrant beauty. Form, function, and flow reign supreme in every room. From the well-scaled living room (big enough for a living/dining if you need to flex an extra bedroom out of current dining room) to both comfortable main bedrooms (both with dual exposures via big cross-breeze windows); from the attractive and practical kitchen to the impressive guest/den space (with washer/dryer); and from the classic windowed baths to all of the custom closets, this feel-good find is a residential stand-out.


Sweetly positioned in its well-served, seasoned Pre-War building, this treasured address is where Rachmaninoff lived and composed his most famous works, and where Barbara Streisand filmed her 1996 comedy "The Mirror Has Two Faces." The building's amenities include a brand new river-view roof deck, a well-appointed new gym, building lounge space, and storage/bike/laundry rooms. This well-run cooperative has been described by The New York Times as "A Calm Oasis Near the Buzz of Broadway" - a deserving credit courtesy of its prime location. Every area cultural, shopping, and dining destination -- as well as Riverside and Central Park (and a plethora of easy transportation options) -- are at your doorstep.


Your marvelous maisonette is ready to welcome you home.
