Soaring 10'8.5" ceilings, exposed brick, a wood-burning fireplace, hardwood floors, through the wall AC and private storage in the basement combine to create a truly special Upper West Side home. This exceptional, move-in ready parlor-floor studio condominium is located on one of the Upper West Side's most picturesque tree-lined park blocks, within a charming pre-war elevator building dating to 1910. Rich in character and architectural detail, the residence offers an airy, loft-like feel rarely found in studio living. The thoughtfully designed layout maximizes both space and functionality. A lofted area above the kitchen and bathroom provides valuable additional storage and can also serve as a cozy sleeping loft. Oversized bay windows overlook beautiful 85th Street, while the south-facing, windowed kitchen fills the home with natural light throughout the day. The combination of soaring ceiling height and oversized windows enhances the sense of openness and volume, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. The Stratton is a well maintained boutique pet-friendly pre-war condominium and offers the convenience of an elevator building along with numerous recent improvements, including an updated video intercom, renovated hallways, laundry facilities, and a brand new boiler. The location is phenomenal. Situated moments from Riverside Park, residents enjoy easy access to multiple subway and bus lines, as well as the neighborhood's restaurants, cafés, boutiques, cultural institutions, and schools. This is a rare opportunity to own a character-filled condominium home in one of the Upper West Side's most desirable locations.
