Originally designed and built in 1896 by architect Theodore E. Thomson in Romanesque-style, the home’s beautiful fac¸ade, L-shaped stoop, wide-plank Kentucky Pine hardwood flooring, and four working fireplaces with original antique mantels, have been lovingly restored to their original grandeur.

Intelligently designed, and outfitted with the highest quality finishes, the home offers an array of modern conveniences, including an elevator that swiftly serves every level from the first to the top floor, two laundry rooms (plus a built-in laundry chute), a Savant smart home system, energy efficient appliances including a cutting-edge multi-zone HVAC system, steel beams in between every level, LED lighting, intricate custom millwork, and pre-wiring for sound and security systems.

Upper West Side | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Bracketed on its east and west borders by massive city parks, the Upper West Side (UWS) is known for its greenery, stately and elegant townhomes, safe streets and great schools, all of which make it a very desirable neighborhood for families. The UWS has maintained its community feeling, making it attractive to young professionals and retirees, both of whom want a sense of belonging in the place they call home.

Here you’ll find many apartment buildings, especially those along Central Park West. Historic architecture abounds, anchored by four luxury co-ops - the San Remo, Majestic, Century and Eldorado apartments - all of which have two towers on their interiors. They were built in the 1930s and their design was predicated on a 1929 building code that imposed a height limit on residences facing the street. There are also impressive row houses near Riverside Drive throughout the W 70 and 80 Streets. Above the 90s, you will find smaller buildings where walk-ups are very reasonably priced.

There are several world-class museums and venues dedicated to the performing arts. Plentiful dining can be found in the UWS. You will find everything from quaint Jewish delis serving up bagels and a schmear to sophisticated fine dining that has earned multiple Michelin stars, and everything you could possibly want in between. There is also abundant shopping and a vibrant nightlife.
