Sunlight, Space & Style in a Prewar UWS Classic

Welcome to your next chapter at The DeSoto-a beautifully preserved 1917 Beaux-Arts gem on a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of the Upper West Side. This rare, loft-like home checks every box: sunshine, scale, style-and space to grow.

Currently configured as a gracious 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath residence, this flexible layout can easily be transformed into a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home, as others in the line have done (alternate floor plans available). Whether you're upsizing, downsizing, or right-sizing, this apartment evolves with your needs.

From the moment you enter, you're greeted by an expansive foyer with oversized closets that set the tone for a home that's equal parts grand and inviting. The sun-flooded living and dining area is a true showstopper: airy and open with soaring 9'5" beamed ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and four oversized north-facing windows that bathe the space in light all day long. It's perfect for entertaining-or unwinding in quiet luxury.

The thoughtfully designed open kitchen blends style and function, with custom off-white cabinetry, elegant Carrera marble countertops, a large prep-and-serve island, and a butler's pantry for all your culinary essentials. High-end appliances include a vented Viking range, Fisher & Paykel dishwasher, and an in-unit washer/dryer. Just off the kitchen, a charming windowed office and powder room make working from home both beautiful and practical.

The corner primary bedroom is a serene retreat, complete with open eastern exposures, city views, and a massive walk-in closet with custom built-ins. The second bedroom is equally spacious, with two large closets and incredible light. The Jack-and-Jill bathroom features natural stone flooring and a Carrera marble vanity. There's even room to add a second full bath, and convert the powder room into a third.

Throughout the home, classic prewar details meet modern comforts: think moldings, solid oak floors, tall ceilings, and generous closet space-all wrapped in timeless architectural charm.

The DeSoto, built in 1917, is a distinguished Beaux Arts co-op located on a prime Upper West Side block. This pet-friendly, full-service building features a 24-hour doorman, a fantastic resident manager, and a stunning marble lobby with stained-glass windows. Residents can enjoy a landscaped roof deck with breathtaking views, an herb garden, and seating areas for relaxation. Additional amenities include a central laundry room, a playroom, a bike room, and resident storage. Convenience is at your doorstep, with the 1, 2, and 3 trains just two blocks away, as well as proximity to Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Equinox, and Starbucks . Shareholders at The DeSoto also benefit from a 17% primary residence tax abatement - a savings of about one month of maintenance each year.
