SPACIOUS ALCOVE STUDIO with Modern Updates at The Claremont Condominium!!
This oversized 650-square-foot alcove studio offers exceptional space, privacy, and value in the heart of the Upper West Side— featuring new white oak floors and washer/dryer allowed with board approval. Located on West 85th Street between Broadway and West End Avenue, this thoughtfully designed condominium residence is one of only three apartments per floor, creating a quiet and private living environment. Oversized north-facing windows fill the home with consistent natural light and provide charming treetop and brownstone views with open sky.
The flexible layout includes a generous alcove that easily accommodates a queen-size bed and can also function as a dining area, home office, or sleeping space. Custom California Closets cabinetry and wine storage enhance the dining area, while newly installed built-ins in the sleeping alcove add both style and functionality.
A separate kitchen is outfitted with full-size appliances including a Bosch dishwasher, full-height cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, and a spacious kitchen pantry. Storage is abundant throughout the home with four closets: a foyer closet, double clothing closet in the dressing area, linen closet, and kitchen pantry. The private dressing area leads to a full-size marble bathroom tucked away from the main living space. The bathroom features a deep soaking tub with built-in shelf storage, marble flooring, and three medicine cabinets.
Additional highlights include:
Oversized windows with shades
Dimmers in foyer and dining area
Recently installed electric heat pump (2025) allowing year-round heating and cooling independent of the building schedule
Flexible living area that comfortably fits a full-size sofa, love seat coffee table and small desk area
The building allows washer/dryers with board approval, with potential installation in the dressing room closet
The Claremont Condominium, built in 1986, offers a full range of amenities including:
24-hour lobby attendants
Live-in superintendent and assistant superintendent
Two recently modernized elevators
Fitness center open 6am–11pm with terrace views
Resident patio/terrace (can be reserved seasonally)
Laundry room (3 washers / 4 dryers)
Recycling, compost, and battery recycling programs
Trash and recycling chute on every floor
Perfectly situated just moments from Riverside Park and Central Park, and convenient to the 1, B, and C trains at 86th Street, the neighborhood offers some of the best shopping and dining on the Upper West Side including Zabar’s, Trader Joe’s, restaurants, cafés, and movie theaters. Assessment $212 per month. With its generous proportions, excellent storage, thoughtful upgrades, and prime location, this residence represents one of the best values on the Upper West Side.
