Welcome to Brick Underground’s sponsor apartment pick of the week, where we feature a co-op for sale by the owner of the building. You do not need board approval to buy these apartments, they are often newly renovated, and they typically require a down payment of only 10 percent, versus the 20 to 25 percent that most co-ops demand. In exchange for the condo-like ease of acquisition, expect to pay a bit more than a regular co-op, but considerably less than a condo. For more information, check out "Everything you ever wanted to know about sponsor apartments but were afraid to ask."
This newly renovated co-op, 65 West 95th St., #9A, on the Upper West Side, is on the market for $1,395,000 and has two bedrooms, both with en suite baths. There's also a half bath and a dining area. It's priced below the current median of $1,795,000 for two bedrooms in the neighborhood, according to data by StreetEasy. And you won't have to take your laundry to the shared facilities in the building because there's a washer/dryer in the unit.
The amenities in the prewar building include a doorman, live-in super, a roof deck, shared laundry facilities as well as bike and storage areas. The monthly maintenance is $2,046.

The kitchen is galley-style with plenty of cabinets and countertop space. The color of the Shaker-style cabinets ties in with the backsplash and complements the stainless steel appliances, making the renovation look well thought through. A pocket door leads between the kitchen and the foyer. The washer/dryer is installed next to the refrigerator.
