Introducing Residence 2B at 229 West 116th Street - A truly rare offering that captures the essence of downtown loft living in the Upper West Side. This exceptional 2-bedroom, 1. 5-bath home (with easy conversion to 2 full baths) is full of character, flooded with natural light, and in immaculate, move-in ready condition. With very low monthlies and a smart layout, it''''''''s not just an incredible place to live-but also a strong long-term investment.

Featuring loft-like proportions and rich architectural detail, the home features soaring 11-foot ceilings, exposed brick, and oak hardwood floors that add warmth and depth throughout. The expansive living and dining area is anchored by oversized south-facing windows, bringing in all-day sunlight and an airy, open feel. The spacious, windowed kitchen is both stylish and functional, appointed with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and generous cabinetry. Recently refreshed with newly refinished floors, fresh paint, and a modern kitchen update, this residence is fully turnkey and can be offered fully furnished.

The oversized primary bathroom includes classic subway tile, Kohler fixtures, and a rainfall shower, while the additional powder room adds convenience and includes an in-unit washer/dryer. The powder room can easily be converted to a second full bathroom; the alternate floor plan is enclosed for design inspiration. Storage is thoughtfully designed with multiple custom ELFA closets, plus a deeded private storage unit. Both bedrooms are located at the quiet rear of the home and offer serene, light-filled retreats. The entry flows beautifully into the living space, with sleek built-ins and open shelving enhancing both form and function.

Set within Casa Loma, a boutique 16-unit condominium originally built in 1910 and converted in 2007 to a pet-friendly, investor-friendly condo, residents enjoy a beautifully restored brick lobby, elevator, bike storage, and a 4, 000 SF landscaped roof deck with sweeping city views of Central Park, the Manhattan skyline, Columbia University, and the iconic Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Just moments from the 2/3/B/C trains, Harlem''''''''s restaurant row, cozy cafés, convenience stores, and some of the city''''''''s best parks.
