Property Description for 27 West 72nd Street, PH-C

Perched atop the Upper West Side's premier white-glove prewar condominium, The Olcott, boasting 1,741 sf of exquisite living quarters and the building's most spectacular outdoor terrace, Penthouse C is truly a marvel. Luxury living is at its finest, a mere half block from Central Park, in an elegant custom-designed 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath masterpiece with a phenomenal outdoor oasis that's expansive (approx. 1,100 sf!) and awe-inspiring!

A gracious entry gallery with walk-in closet greets your arrival, and introduces an absolutely rare and stunning interior with airy 10' ceilings. Steps lead out to the incredible outdoor space, a prized treasure in the city. Entertain a crowd on 2 huge connecting sun-bathed terraces enhanced by lush trees & plantings, an irrigation system, gas fireplace & gas-fed integrated grilling station - against a backdrop of open city views that catch a glimpse of Central Park.

Inside, the extraordinary loft-like great room with living, dining and kitchen is the heart of the home, and a perfect setting for hosting with gleaming oak floors, decorative fireplace, extensive built-in cabinetry/shelving, and walls of windows overlooking the terrace and city. The open eat-in windowed kitchen, designed by a professional baker, is top of the line, affording effortless serving and a divine setting for the culinary connoisseur. Here the chef enjoys every bell & whistle for inspired gourmet creations, from extensive custom cabinetry to generous Caesarstone quartz countertops, a premium suite of Miele commercial-grade appliances & large prep/dining bar. A beautifully-designed guest powder room offers access to the cleverly-concealed private laundry room with a Whirlpool washer-dryer plus lots of storage cabinetry.

Further down the hall is a large bedroom with oversized windows and a custom-outfitted closet, and a renovated marble & tile full bath with a soaking tub. The piece de resistance is the king-size master retreat with a huge custom-fitted walk-in closet & showstopper luxury spa bath, also finely renovated, clad in gorgeous tiles & marble. All bathrooms are adorned with radiant heat porcelain floors. Among the other highlights of this modern dream home are tasteful millwork, state-of-the-art lighting, solid core doors, an integrated audio system, electronic blinds & temperature control throughout. A private storage cage also comes with the apartment.

Built in 1925 and reinvented to condominiums in 2006 by preeminent architect Andres Escobar, the full-service Olcott is a stately landmarked prewar building with a grand restored lobby, doorman & concierge, double-height fitness center, residents' dining room with catering kitchen, playroom, bicycle storage, cold storage & individual storage bins. The superior locale is half a block from Central Park, near the world's best dining, shopping & cultural destinations, and numerous subway lines like the 1, 2, 3, B & C. Pets are welcomed!

Lincoln Square | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Centered, in name and location, around the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Lincoln Square’s history is heavily steeped in strong African American and Afro-Caribbean roots. Iconic jazz pianist, Thelonious Monk, is counted among its many former artistic and professional denizens.

The neighborhood is beloved for its amazing shopping, its distinguished art scene, and phenomenal restaurants--and don’t forget Central Park. From Lincoln Square, one is at the gateway to virtually everything New York City has to offer, either in your backyard or via excellent subway access.

With its beautiful pre-war architecture surrounded by some of NYC’s premier skyscrapers, Lincoln Square has become a safe, much sought after neighborhood. If you like living in the action, there are few places in the world that can rival Lincoln Square.
