About This Home

As of December 2022

Every now and then you'll find a piece of New York City history in an apartment, a space that clearly exudes the warmth and charm of turn-of-the-century architecture. Apartment #1 at 523 West 121st Street, a raised first floor unit with excellent light, is exactly that home with its side by side living and dining rooms, impeccably restored moldings and oak paneling, 9'9" ceilings, a windowed eat-in-kitchen, and an oversized windowed bath and 2 bedrooms, all in excellent condition. This beautifully scaled classic five room is easily converted to a true three bedroom home, please see alternate floorplan. The Spencer converted to coop in 1921 and is 100% owned with 24 units, full time doorman, live-in-super, bike room, laundry, and dedicated storage. Located between Amsterdam and Broadway, this vibrant neighborhood is buzzing with restaurants, shopping, easily accessible transportation, and academia. If communing with nature is your vibe, take your pick of Morningside Park or Riverside Park, as both are nearby. Call the exclusive listing brokers today for accurate information and a private viewing.
