The apartment
The parlor-floor one-bedroom is up the stoop of a West 80th Street townhouse, and both the living room and the bedroom face south over the private townhouse gardens. Ceilings run 12 feet, and a private terrace opens onto the same gardens.
The living room is anchored by a decorative fireplace with a white mantel, with parquet underfoot. Moldings, wainscoting and a built-in bookcase with a library ladder line the walls. From the bedroom the view is of a magnolia tree that blooms in early spring.
The kitchen has granite counters, stainless-steel appliances, a gas cooktop and a full-size dishwasher. The bathroom keeps its black-and-white mosaic tile floor, a pedestal sink and a full tub with a shower.
The terrace
The terrace looks over the gardens behind the row. The listing describes it as a place for morning coffee and dinner outdoors, an extension of the living room. The bedroom windows face the same way, so the garden is in view from both rooms.
The building
City records list the building at four floors and ten units, inside the Upper West Side/Central Park West Historic District. It is a pet-friendly cooperative on a row of 19th-century townhouses. Laundry is free one floor below, and the basement has common storage and bicycle storage.
Amsterdam Avenue is half a block away, Theodore Roosevelt Park and the American Museum of Natural History are around the corner, and Central Park is a short walk. The listing names Zabar's and Orwashers Bakery nearby, and the Great Lawn and Shakespeare in the Park a stroll away.
