319 West 89th Street #PH

Just in time for summer! Enjoy your own planted roof deck oasis on one of the prettiest tree-lined streets in the heart of the Upper West Side. This duplex penthouse sits atop a 19th Century Romanesque Revival townhouse which was originally one of ten houses on the block designed by renowned architect, Clarence True. Up two flights, is a private landing that leads into an expansive living room/dining room facing South over 89th Street. There's plenty of natural light and loads of prewar details including high ceilings, a wall of exposed brick, a decorative fireplace, built-in bookcases/storage and charming wooden shutters. The partially open kitchen features granite countertops, a breakfast bar, an abundance of storage and lots of counter space for easy, everyday cooking. On the north side of this floor-thru home is the oversized primary bedroom with 3 windows facing North over townhouse gardens and great closets including a giant walk-in. Please reference the alternate floor plan as this room can easily be divided to create 2 smaller bedrooms. Upstairs, is an additional bedroom (currently setup as a den/office) with an en suite bathroom and 2 big skylights. The planted roof deck is a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of busy city life. No need for a green thumb since there's an automatic irrigation system. The deck was also upgraded with Trex composite decking that is easy to maintain and will never rot or warp. Other details include a vented washer/dryer, renovated bathrooms, hardwood floors and thru-wall air conditioning. This intimate, self-managed 4 unit co-op has low maintenance and no underlying mortgage. Sorry, no dogs permitted.
