Hidden behind a 19th-century Queen Anne facade, you'll find this striking and sophisticated 5-story single family townhouse offering lofty proportions and a practical layout that is geared toward today's modern lifestyle. Designed by Barlis-Wedlick architects, this museum quality residence has recently undergone an extensive 2-year renovation and is guaranteed to please your senses with high ceilings, brilliant light, and superb luxury finishes throughout. A grand stoop entrance leads to a loft-like parlor floor entertaining level featuring a front dining room with bay window, a rear sitting room with fireplace and French doors onto a lovely terrace, and a gorgeous open state-of-the-art chef's kitchen with floating walnut center-island, deep marble countertops, endless white lacquer cabinetry, and top-of-the-line appliances including a 6-burner Wolf range with griddle and grill vented to the outside, and a 50-bottle temperature-controlled wine refrigerator. Beyond the parlor floor, a dramatic cantilevered staircase is illuminated by double-height windows, and leads down to the tranquil garden level where you'll find a spacious Guest bedroom, full bathroom, laundry room, and a comfortable Media room with double doors opening onto a large bluestone garden with multiple seating areas and a built-in gas grill. Back inside, continue upstairs to the sumptuous third floor Master Suite, consisting of a sun-drenched bedroom with fireplace, abundant closets, a large fitted dressing room, and an exquisite en-suite bathroom replete with custom double vanity, separate WC, and a marble-tiled "wet-room" with overhead rain shower and deep soaking tub for two. The fourth floor offers two spacious bedrooms each with leafy exposures, 2 beautifully renovated bathrooms, and a washer-dryer. Continue upstairs to the sun-blasted penthouse level, a multi-purpose "great room" with double exposures, chic powder room, and French doors that open onto a sunny south-facing terrace with unobstructed city views. Every inch of this incredible home has been curated with luxury and comfort in mind, all a testament to the owner's impeccable taste and discerning eye for perfection!

Additional amenities include all new mechanicals, multi-zoned central air-conditioning, a state-of-the-art security system, whole-house Sonos sound system with in-ceiling speakers in all major rooms, custom Lutron lighting on dimmers throughout, and a large finished basement with gym and playroom. All this, on a pretty tree-lined block right in the heart of Manhattan's Upper West Side in close proximity to Central Park, great restaurants, shopping, and all major transportation. Mint & magnificent!
