This fantastic Upper West Side studio, just down the block from Central Park, offers an airy ambiance with high 9 & 1/2 foot ceilings and excellent light. Off the entry foyer is a windowed bath, large closets (including a walk-in with a window that's big enough to convert to an office or small guest room!) and an office nook with a built-in desk. The spacious living area, with two large windows, is served by a separate windowed California style kitchen that has new appliances and a granite counter-top. The apartment is also designed with strip hardwood floors, base molding and custom ceiling lighting and it would make a great primary residence or peid-a-terre.  The low maintenance is also an attractive feature. 126 West 96th Street is a prewar, elevator co-op with a live-in super, on-premises laundry in a great location between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues. The address can't be beat with its easy access to Central Park, Riverside Park, Wholefoods Market, great restaurants (Buceo 95, Gennaro, Gabriella's, Aloutte, Asia Kan, The Mermaid Inn...to name a few), several gyms, theaters, and the express train!
