The Joan of Arch is a truly unique and charismatic home. Built in 1900, this property is serving us some of the best architectural features we’ve seen – a series of six original brick arches that enchant the downstairs communal area. We love that this is a family-friendly home, with a well-equipped kitchen, dining area, and living area all in one open space, so that everyone can spend time together. The cherry on top is the private garden and fireplace, so guests can enjoy the long summer nights… or winter nights, if you’re into that.

Home truths
This is a working family home and that shows some wear and tear
Guests in bedroom two have to walk through bedroom three for access, though they both can be secured for privacy

This is a very busy and characterful home – clutter-phobes will want to look elsewhere
The kitchen is somewhat outdated, though perfectly functional

About Upper West Side
Stately townhouses and grand apartment buildings characterise this affluent, family-friendly neighbourhood nestled between two parks (Central and Riverside). The mature, refined feel of the residential side streets balances with a buzzy bar and bistro scene along the tree-lined avenues – you’ll never be short of a brunch cafe or Jewish bakery here (and by the way, the cookies at Levain are legendary for good reason).
