Upper West Side – Rand Realty NY Website http://randny.com RRNY Wed, 15 Feb 2023 18:22:56 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.4 INCREDIBLE CLASSIC 6! NEW TO MARKET! http://randny.com/properties/apartment/new-york/first-day-on-market/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=first-day-on-market Sat, 14 Jan 2023 01:50:42 +0000 http://randny.com?p=3881

This is your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to move right into this gracious, classic six in a lovely full-service co-op in the heart of the Upper West Side!

This beautiful, gut-renovated 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home blends prewar charm with modern living. It features 9½-foot ceilings, exquisite parquet wood floors, custom woodwork and elegant finishes throughout, including stunning brass and glass door handles.

A large, welcoming foyer ushers you into the spacious living room—a sophisticated yet comfortable space with fabulous custom built-ins—which flows gracefully into the oversized dining room. This layout is ideal for both formal and informal gatherings: Plenty of room for quiet seating areas, while the open, airy and vibrant atmosphere is perfect for posh parties. You can even easily transform the living room/dining room into a 400 sq ft+ expansive masterpiece by simply taking down a wall.

Prepare to be captivated as you enter the eat-in chef’s kitchen, embraced by a stunning custom pressed tin ceiling. With ample room for a table that seats four, the kitchen is a chef’s dream: commercial-style four-burner Viking convection range w/griddle, stone counters, large Subzero refrigerator, and a Bosch dishwasher. There is a plethora of glass-fronted and lower cabinets, including a butler’s pantry with additional plentiful storage. A stacked Miele Washer/Dryer ensures a future of easy and accessible laundering.

Just off the kitchen is a small bedroom—with an en suite FULL BATH. Perfect for the weekend guest, the in-law, or the teenager craving privacy.

The beauty of this apartment lies in the separation of the public space from the bedrooms. Opening the charming, original French door off the foyer leads you to the separate wing. The first room is sizable, with an en-suite bathroom. Down the hall, the generously proportioned corner Primary bedroom is bathed in sunshine from both its eastern and southern exposures. The adjacent bathroom would easily become ensuite with the simple addition of a door in an already existing frame.

Should you need an additional 4th bedroom, the dining room can easily be converted, leaving plenty of space in the large living room to double as your dining area as well.

This exquisite apartment has abundant natural light from 13 oversized windows, with pin-drop quiet courtyard views, 3 exposures, and 8 spacious closets with incredible 8-foot-high doors.

176 West 87th Street is a full-service cooperative built in 1917, with a central location halfway between Central Park and Riverside Park. Residents enjoy amenities including a renovated lobby, a brand-new gym, a newly renovated children’s playroom, a central laundry room, private storage units (extra charge), bike room (small yearly fee), a landscaped roof deck, full-time doorman and live-in resident manager. Best of all, you won’t find a friendlier building on the Upper West Side.

176 West 87th Street allows 80% financing and is moments away from the best the Upper West Side has to offer: Barney Greengrass, Jacob’s Pickles, and Zabars, just to name a few. There is easy access to multiple subway and bus lines. Pets are welcome and Pied-a-terres permitted.

(Flip Tax: 3% of contract price split between buyer & seller.)

Co-exclusive with The Find NY.

Elegant Classic-6 in Top P/W Co-op! http://randny.com/properties/apartment/new-york/elegant-classic-6-in-top-p-w-co-op/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=elegant-classic-6-in-top-p-w-co-op Tue, 08 Nov 2022 19:07:17 +0000 http://randny.com?p=3852

This magnificent, Classic-6, pre-war apartment needs your touches to transform it into an amazing home! This spacious, rarely available “A” line features excellent light, three full bathrooms, oversized windows, high-ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors, and a serene atmosphere.

As you exit the elevator on the 7th floor, you are greeted with your own private landing to the only apartment on the floor.

As you enter the apartment, the scale of the rooms is stunning. You enter a large foyer, big enough for a seating cluster and more. To the right is a breathtaking living room, which can easily house a grand piano and several couches and tables. Lengths of white walls await your artwork.

Opposite the living room is a massive dining room, easily fitting a table seating 8 to 10 people. Large north and east windows allow beautiful natural light.

The kitchen lies between the dining room and living room. It is currently configured as two separate rooms; an informal seating area, and the main kitchen. This can be used as is, or it can be transformed into a wide-open country eat-in kitchen, complete with high-end appliances and a washer/dryer

Just off the seating area of the kitchen lies an extra room. This hidden treasure is your cozy guest bedroom or office, complete with its own full bathroom!

From the foyer, through a doorway, you enter a hallway that brings you to the private wing of the apartment. Don’t miss the enormous walk-in closet in the hallway!

To the right is the primary bedroom suite. Here you will find a large, windowed bathroom. This bedroom is enormous, with bright south and east exposures. You will feel like royalty waking every morning to the sunlight or the breezes entering through the generous windows. There are two large closets.

On the opposite end of the Primary bedroom is another enormous bedroom, featuring its own en suite bathroom and three gorgeous windows.

The beauty of this apartment is its flexibility. Use as is, or create the apartment you’ve always dreamed of. You can have wide open spaces (55’ wide at some points) with a large, open-concept kitchen, or create several private spaces, either bedrooms, offices, or a library.

173 Riverside Drive was designed by JER Carpenter, a master architect of his time. The building takes up an entire block from 89th Street to 90th Street, with entrances on both sides. This building is an example of one of the finest co-ops you will find on the Upper West Side. It features a full-time doorman, extensive staff, live-in resident manager, an enormous fitness center, bicycle storage, a game and play room, and storage units (when available – fee additional).

Sublets are not allowed. Primary residence required; no pied-a-terres. Maximum financing is 50%. Buyer pays a 2% transfer fee.

SPACIOUS THREE-BEDROOM HOME WITH HUGE EN-SUITE PRIMARY BEDROOM+ OFFICE! http://randny.com/properties/apartment/new-york/spacious-three-bedroom-home-with-huge-en-suite-master-office/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=spacious-three-bedroom-home-with-huge-en-suite-master-office Wed, 26 Feb 2020 23:59:23 +0000 http://randny.com?p=3596 SPACIOUS THREE-BEDROOM HOME WITH HUGE EN-SUITE PRIMARY BEDROOM + OFFICE!

STOP. LOOK. LISTEN!

This well-proportioned three-bedroom, three-bathroom home for under $2MM will amaze you!

This combination of a two-bedroom and a studio apartment was magnificently joined. It has two private bedroom wings that are havens away from the gracious public areas. Pre-war details abound; magnificent oak floors with mahogany borders throughout the apartment, soaring ceiling height to nine feet, and picture frame and rail moldings aplenty.

One enters the apartment into a foyer that boasts two coat closets, both generous. A bit further along a short passage, a large, black granite counter-top seating three overlooks the chef’s kitchen and offers a cozy spot for an informal meal or a perch to sip a glass of wine while chatting with the chef of the moment.

The kitchen is laid out for easy access to appliances, the double stainless sink, and the plentiful glass-door cabinetry. Under-cabinet lights illuminate every corner, with abundant counter space for prepping a gourmet meal. The pass-thru kitchen offers easy access to the adjacent dining area that is large enough for a table seating 8-10.

Beyond the dining area, a dramatic sunken living room, perfect for entertaining, features herringbone hardwood floors, and is brightened by four generous windows facing north and west.

Off the dining room, behind a private door, is a separate wing with two large bedrooms, two full baths, and numerous closets – bringing the total number of storage spaces in this unit to ten.

The pièce de résistance is the secluded Primary Suite. Located in its own area far apart from the public spaces and other bedroom wing, it is an oasis to behold, complete with an office featuring a built-in desk, drawers and shelving. A concealed pocket-door opens to a classically renovated en-suite bathroom. The spacious, pin-drop quiet primary bedroom features oversized windows, and two walk-in closets that have been maximized to accommodate two full wardrobes!

Built in 1936, this deco-inspired building is on a serene, tree-lined block, just steps away from beautiful Riverside Park. There is a resident-only secret garden where you can share a meal and cocktails with friends and family on a cool summer evening.  There is even a gas grill to get your backyard sizzle on! The building has a live-in superintendent, a storage bin (that comes with the apartment – $40/month), a bike room, and a laundry room. Pets are welcome! Washer/dryers are allowed. Transportation, shopping and fine dining are just an easy stroll away, along with Hippo Park Playground in Riverside Park.

There is a current assessment of $578.68/month.

​​INCREDIBLE TOWNHOUSE/PASSIVE HOUSE OPPORTUNITY! http://randny.com/properties/th/new-york/incredible-opportunity-townhouse-w-approved-plans/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=incredible-opportunity-townhouse-w-approved-plans Wed, 03 Jul 2019 15:24:31 +0000 http://randny.com?p=3530 ​​ NOW SHOWING BY PRIVATE APPOINTMENT!

This 5 1/2 story townhouse is situated on one of the prettiest tree-lined blocks on the Upper West Side. When completed, it will include nearly 6,000 square feet of interior space. This is the ultimate townhouse: in the middle of a quaint block, south-facing with loads of sun, backing up to a row of lovely townhouses on 94th Street.

NYC Department of Buildings plans have been drawn and approved, meaning you can fast-track construction – no need to wait 6 to 12 months for approvals. As you can see from the photos, many of the joists on every floor have been replaced with steel to make this a super-strong blank slate, ready for your personal touches. Currently, the plans are to make it a “Passive House,” one of a very few similar elite homes in Manhattan. This home will feature ultra-low energy usage for heating and cooling, including a large solar array on the roof to provide electricity, and a “skin” on the rear of the building to provide year-round hot water.

Alternatively, a more traditional townhouse can be created that can fulfill every detail of your desires. Current plans include a glass, circular elevator, with 5 1/2 floors of living space. This home can easily accommodate 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. An enormous backyard as well as a massive roof deck will delight you with sun and breezes.

​​Architectural features include stunning arched windows on both the front and rear of the building. The garden level has been excavated to accommodate 8 1/2-foot ceilings, opening to a beautiful south-facing garden.

A team is ready to continue construction, or, alternatively, bring your own team and get started right away.

This home of the future is available now for the taking!

AMAZING OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE A THREE-BEDROOM/2 BATH HOME! http://randny.com/properties/apartment/new-york/amazing-opportunity-to-create-a-three-bedroom-2-bath-home/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=amazing-opportunity-to-create-a-three-bedroom-2-bath-home Wed, 12 Jun 2019 01:48:50 +0000 http://randny.com?p=3505 NOW PRICED TO SELL!

AMAZING OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE A THREE-BEDROOM/2 BATHROOM HOME!

A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH! Two flights up awaits a turn-of-the-century sprawling apartment with many possibilities. With high ceilings, over-sized windows and charming original architectural details, this home is ripe with opportunity!

The front parlor faces south and west. This is traditionally a living room, but could also serve as a bedroom. French doors lead to another room, which most people have used as a bedroom. A hallway leads to two more west-facing bedrooms and a hall bath. Beyond the bathroom is a formal dining room, large windowed kitchen and maid’s room. The cabinets in the kitchen are all the original red pine from 1896. When restored, they would be magnificent. One could easily open up the dining room, kitchen and maid’s room into one great room for a more contemporary use of space.

A washer and dryer are permitted, and there is plenty of room for them. With board permission, you could also install a second bathroom in this apartment.

If you’ve been looking for space in Manhattan, and keep coming up short, here’s your answer; a bright, spacious home awaits your vision.

Pictures are available for the stunning renovation completed upstairs in 5W, that included an additional bathroom, washer/dryer, and an enormous dining room/kitchen. Built in 1920, 211 West 107th Street is a 10-unit coop on a lovely Morningside Heights Block. It’s located a short walk from both Riverside Park and Central Park, the 1, 2, 3, C and B trains. It’s around the corner from the best bakery and bagel shop in Manhattan, the best children’s bookstore in Manhattan, several excellent private and public schools and many cultural institutions.
