There's something undeniably special about owning a home on Central Park West, especially in a classic pre-war building that has witnessed nearly a century of New York life. Residence 916 at The Alden offers a rare opportunity to claim your own intimate foothold in Manhattan, high above the trees, in one of the city's most iconic neighborhoods. Set within an elegant Emery Roth designed building, this Upper West Side studio offers a quiet retreat from the energy of the city. The thoughtfully proportioned layout allows for a comfortable living, dining, and sleeping area, while large north-facing windows provide soft natural light and privacy, ideal for a true Manhattan pied-à-terre. The apartment is in good condition and perfectly livable as-is, with the opportunity to update and add your own personal style. The kitchen and bath are functional and well maintained, offering a solid foundation for customization while preserving the timeless charm that defines pre-war Central Park West apartments. Beyond your front door, Central Park is just across the street, offering year-round recreation and open green space. The surrounding Upper West Side neighborhood is rich with culture, dining, and shopping, including the nearby American Museum of Natural History just one block away. Residents also enjoy access to The Alden's iconic roof deck, with sweeping city and reservoir views. The Alden offers full-service living with a 24-hour doorman, concierge, live-in super, roof deck, bike storage, central laundry, and garage access. Convenient transportation options include the B and C subway lines and multiple bus routes nearby. Pied-à-terre permitted. Pets permitted with board approval.
