Property Description for 12 West 83rd Street

Situated on a tree-lined block just off Central Park West, this magnificent 4-story townhouse was originally built in 1890 by A.B. Ogden and Sons. Built in the Renaissance Revival style, the facade has bow front windows, floral designs surrounding the window panes and exquisite arched windows on the top floor. The entire home has been meticulously renovated with the finest finishes and appointments throughout, while the original architectural details have been carefully preserved and its original grandeur restored. The gracious layout with grand proportions has beautifully scaled rooms and includes 5-7 bedrooms and outdoor space including a charming garden and a terrace.

Garden Level: A Chef's kitchen with custom-cabinetry and top-of-the-line appliances has an adjoining breakfast room and French doors which open to a landscaped South-facing garden with beautiful plantings and mature trees. There is also a family room/media room on this level, a walk-in coat closet and a powder room.

Parlor Floor: With a soaring 12-foot ceiling, the impressive parlor level includes a grand living room with a fireplace with a hand-carved mantelpiece, traditional moldings and an ornate ceiling frieze. The southern exposure over townhouse gardens provides excellent light and delightful views. There is also a library with a barrel vaulted ceiling, exquisite woodworking, original leaded glass windows and a fireplace on this level.

Third Floor: A sumptuous master bedroom suite which faces South over the garden has a vast walk-in closet and a luxuriously-appointed marble bathroom with double sinks and separate shower and tub. An additional bedroom with an attractive marble bath may be found on the North side of this level.

Fourth Floor: Enhanced by skylights and a delightful terrace, the upper level includes four bedrooms, two full baths and laundry facilities.

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.
