For $845K, this Central Park West garden duplex comes with a private slice of backyard paradise

While we wouldn’t think it would be easy to find a cute, well-appointed apartment anywhere near Central Park West for under $1 million, it’s even harder to imagine finding one with private outdoor space. Asking $845,000, this bright garden co-op at 71 West 83rd Street in a classic Upper West Side pre-war building is just that rare find.

Located on a prime Central Park block, this tidy duplex is anchored by a sleek living area with plenty of room for art. Hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and built-in shelving provide a timeless, architectural modernity.

A fitted European-style kitchen has the necessary culinary tools and plenty of cabinet space. A breakfast bar provides both ready seating and storage and display shelves. A renovated full bath serves this main space. Up above is a creatively-designed loft, perfect as storage or extra sleeping space (though we aren’t completely sure how to reach it from below).

Downstairs is a cozy king-sized bedroom with brick accent walls and recessed lighting. A charming compact bath is tucked in next to the bedroom, separated by a unique curved wall of glass brick.

The best part of this triple-decker jewel box may be the magical private yard tucked in next to the lower floor. With enough shelter to be enjoyed year-round, this fabulous outdoor oasis can welcome your green thumb in spring and your guests all summer long. Built around 1884, the pet-friendly elevator building offers a free laundry room and a bike room.
