161 W 61 Street, #23C, New York, NY, 10023 | $1,900,000

Welcome home to the Alfred at 161 West 61st Street. Apt 23C is a sanctuary of tranquility perched above Lincoln Center, the stuff of dreams for the bonafide Upper West Side arts lover. Twenty-three floors above it all, floor-to-ceiling windows and a wrap-around balcony offering views of Lincoln Center, Central Park, and the Hudson River crown this quiet two-bedroom, two-bathroom gem. Upon entering, you'll find a spacious entryway separating the sleeping and living spaces of the home. To the right of the entry are the washer-dryer, a full bathroom, a bedroom that can be used as an office and guest room, and finally the primary bedroom with en suite bath. On the left of the entry, you're greeted by spectacular city views, river views, a large living room, and a dining area, with a discreet kitchen separated from the rest of the space by a custom-designed and built Shoji screen. Every room in this elegant home enjoys sweeping views of Lincoln Center and the lack of sky-rise obstructions provides ample light into the apartment throughout the day. Residents of the Alfred have access to its Olympic-sized swimming pool, gym, and private, gated garden. Ballet and opera lovers will also appreciate The Alfred's exclusive, gated, back entrance that lets out directly onto Lincoln Center and is accessed by an electronic key fob only available to residents. At the Alfred, you are only a few blocks from Central Park, Riverside Park, Columbus Circle, and several subway lines. Come and see all that 23C has to offer. This is the pinnacle of Upper West Side living. Please note: New York City, school choices, especially for middle and high schools, often involve a process called "screened programs. " These programs evaluate applicants based on various criteria such as academic performance, attendance, standardized test scores, and sometimes even additional assessments like interviews or auditions. The aim is to match students with schools that best fit their academic and extracurricular interests and abilities. **Additional Assesment per month: $744. 93 - December 2026**

* The Initial Interest Rate and Initial Principal & Interest Payment are fixed for the first and adjust every six months thereafter for the remainder of the loan term. The Interest Rate and annual percentage rate may increase after consummation. The Index for this product is the SOFR. The margin for this adjustable rate mortgage may vary with your unique credit history, and terms of your loan.

** Mortgage Rates are subject to change, loan amount and product restrictions and may not be available for your specific transaction at commitment or closing. Rates, and the margin for adjustable rate mortgages [if applicable], are subject to change without prior notice.

The rates and Annual Percentage Rate (APR) cited above may be only samples for the purpose of calculating payments and are based upon the following assumptions: minimum credit score of 740, 20% down payment (e.g. $20,000 down on a $100,000 purchase price), $1,950 in finance charges, and 30 days prepaid interest, 1 point, 30 day rate lock. The rates and APR will vary depending upon your unique credit history and the terms of your loan, e.g. the actual down payment percentages, points and fees for your transaction. Property taxes and homeowner's insurance are estimates and subject to change.  The Total Monthly Payment does not include the estimated HOA/Common Charge payment.
