Property Description for 43 West 61st Street, 12-A

This Over the Top renovated, sophisticated and extraordinary chic, customized home is truly a masterpiece of design and craftsmanship.

There are wonderful built-ins below the windows with open shelves and a removal panel covering the HVAC. Window treatments in this room consist of custom shades and 3 sliding custom fitted screens (Shoji Designs, Inc.) which when fully closed, create a totally different setting, especially in the evening, as the lighting in the soffit above illuminates the screens from behind, producing a dramatic and amazing artistic effect.

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.
