This $8.5K townhouse rental is quintessential Upper West Side with parlor-floor panache
A block from Central Park in Lincoln Square, this 1,850 square-foot parlor floor-through at 52 West 69th Street is the kind of Upper West Side residence that has inspired many a dream of New York City living. Listed as having two bedrooms convertible to three, the $8,500 per month rent seems a bit less daunting when imagined as a comfortably sprawling choice for family or group living.
The beautifully renovated floor-through on an equally beautiful brownstone block is only one flight up and gets the benefit of those elegant 13-foot-high parlor-floor ceilings.  In addition to the bedrooms there are two full baths and modern perks like built-in speakers and central A/C. The home’s main space is a large living and dining room with plenty of room to spread out and relax.
More flexibility: The owner is open to upgrade the kitchen, which is not always the case in a rental. Either way–though no floor plan is provided–it looks like there’s plenty of space for cooking and lots of storage and counter space.
The generous master bedroom could become two; it’s wrapped with windows and there’s an en-suite bathroom. A good-sized (we’re told) second bedroom completes the picture.
The building also offers free laundry and is dog-friendly (definitely a family-friendly plus).
