There's something magical about living in a classic Emery Roth building, and this studio at The Alden captures that feeling perfectly. From the moment you step into the iconic lobby, you're greeted with a sense of grandeur and warmth that feels unmistakably Upper West Side. Upstairs, your home is a serene escape from the city. North-facing windows offer calm and privacy, while the thoughtfully designed layout makes the most of every inch. A wall of custom, architect-designed storage keeps life organized, and the renovated kitchen, with 2 SubZero refrigerator drawers, Miele cooktop and oven, and handcrafted Heath tile, turns even a quick weeknight meal into something special. A modern, spa-like bath with Toto bidet and outletted medicine cabinet completes the sense of retreat. Head back downstairs to experience the best of the Upper West Side right outside your door. Morning jogs just across the street in Central Park. Afternoons browsing neighborhood shops and cafés after a visit to the Museum of Natural History, only a street away. Evenings on The Alden's panoramic roof deck (the scene of the final shot in the movie, The Big Short), soaking up the views of the city and the reservoir as the sun sets over Manhattan. This is more than a studio-it's a lifestyle, rooted in the elegance of pre-war design and the enveloping energy of the Upper West Side. As a resident, you'll enjoy the Alden's full suite of amenities, including a 24-hour doorman, concierge, live-in super, roof deck, bike storage, central laundry, and garage access. Transportation is a breeze via the B and C subway lines a block down, or via the multitude of bus connections along 81st Street and Central Park West. Come make this gem your home today! Pieds-a-terre case by case. Pets welcome with co-op board approval. 60% financing allowed.
