This stunning two-bedroom, two-bathroom duplex seamlessly blends pre-war charm with modern updates, offering a unique city retreat in a prime Upper West Side location-just a block from Central Park. Nestled in a well-managed, historic elevator brownstone cooperative, this home boasts dramatic double-height ceilings, exposed brick, and a working wood-burning fireplace, evoking the ambiance of a downtown loft with the warmth of a classic UWS brownstone. The main level features an open-concept living and dining area, high ceilings, and oversized windows that flood the space with natural light. The renovated kitchen is outfitted with stainless steel appliances, marble countertops, ample cabinet space, and an adjacent pantry for extra storage. The primary bedroom suite includes an en-suite bath, private balcony, and generous closet space. Upstairs, the lofty second bedroom overlooks the living space, offering versatility for a guest room, home office, or enclosed bedroom (please see floor plan for details). Disclaimer: As this loft space is open to the living room below, it does not meet the legal definition of a bedroom. Additional highlights include immense storage throughout, the ability to install an in-unit washer/dryer with board approval, and access to building amenities such as a free laundry room and bike storage. Located on a tree-lined street between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue, 71 West 83rd Street is a 12-unit pre-war cooperative originally built in 1884 by notable architect George W. Da Cunha and converted in 1981. The building has recently upgraded its elevator and offers a Spectrum cable-internet package included in the maintenance. Just steps from top-tier restaurants, world-class museums, and convenient subway access, this home is an exceptional opportunity to live in one of the most coveted neighborhoods in NYC. Pet-friendly.
