The Apartment

7D is a large, fully-renovated 1 bedroom/1 bath. The unit features high, beamed ceilings, herringbone floors, and generously proportioned rooms with enough extra space in the living room for an office nook. This well-appointed unit faces north, which means it's awash in plenty of bright sunlight. The recently updated kitchen is just as glorious, with stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops. The oversized bedroom faces north as well, which easily has enough room for a full bedroom suite. The bathroom has been recently updated with classic subway tile, a generous vanity and brand new modern toto toilet. This unit also allows a washer and dryer to be installed!  

The Building

305 West 86th Street is 15-floor building built in 1926 and converted in 1988. It is home to just 49 apartments, and boasts multiple amenities: A live-in super, a porter, private storage, bike room, and a doorman from 8 a.m. to midnight. Co-purchasing, gifting, and subletting are all allowed. The co-op has a 2% flip tax paid by the purchaser, which keeps the building's reserves consistently healthy.

A bonus: Pets are welcome!

The Neighborhood

Little needs to be said about the Upper West Side. The area is a well-established, aesthetically charming, and family-friend neighborhood to live in. 305 west 86th is perfectly situated on a tree-lined, quiet street right next to Riverside Park. Just one block away are the many shops on Broadway, restaurants galore, and easy subway access.
