This Upper West Side co-op has a two-tiered outdoor space. Need we say more?

The time of year has come when all we do is daydream about having outdoor space. And as evidenced from the photo above, this $1.675 million two-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath co-op on the Upper West Side has a two-tiered garden space. Trust us when we say that's a rarity in this concrete jungle.

Located in a brownstone on West 71st Street, between West End and Broadway, the apartment has cozy and quaint prewar touches, like exposed brick walls, decorative fireplaces, a bay window in the master bedroom (that looks onto the garden), and beamed ceilings. But it also has been modernized, with a sleek kitchen equipped with the expected suite of stainless steel appliances, plus Caesarstone countertops and a mosaic glass tile backsplash.

The ground level has a solarium that brings lots more brightness to what's traditionally with brownstones a light-starved space.

There is also a pantry and powder room on the ground level in addition to the living room and kitchen, while the two bedrooms (each with en-suite bathrooms) are on the top floor. It's a funky layout, yes, but a pretty unique and charming one at that.

Note: There's a (rather significant) assessment of $625/month until May 2020 for a Major Capital Project on the building, so you'll need your broker or attorney for due diligence.
