A private garden is hard to come by in an Upper West Side co-op. This prewar duplex has one, along with enough room that it feels more like a townhouse than an apartment.
The home, Unit 1W at 311 West 97th Street, is listed by The Joan Kagan Team at Compass for $1,875,000. It has four bedrooms and two and a half baths across approximately 1,886 square feet, and its lower level is the highlight.
That floor centers on a large great room with a wet bar and direct access to the garden, which makes it an easy place to entertain. It also has a fourth bedroom, a full bath, and an in-unit washer/dryer, so it works well for guests or as a home office.
Upstairs, the south-facing living room sits next to a formal dining room, and the windowed kitchen has maple cabinets and stainless steel appliances. Two large bedrooms are set apart in their own wing, connected by a vintage shaving closet and served by a full bath with a soaking tub. A staff room with its own half bath could be used as an office or nursery.
The apartment keeps plenty of prewar character, with 9-foot ceilings, original hardwood floors, and oversized windows, and there’s a good amount of storage throughout.
It’s in the Von Colon, a seven-story co-op built in 1915 with 22 residences. The building is pet-friendly and has a virtual doorman, a bike room, extra storage, and a laundry room.
Riverside Park is at the end of the block, and the 96th Street subway station and bus lines are close by.
