Property Description for 52 West 76th Street

Located on West 76th Street, a beautiful tree-lined street between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue, this magnificently renovated 19-foot wide single family elevatored townhouse has a white stucco faade with two entrances and encompasses approximately 6300 interior square feet plus a 970 square foot finished basement. The flexible layout with no attention to detail spared, features 5 bedrooms with 4 full bathrooms and 3 half baths. Outdoor space includes a wonderful garden accessible off of the kitchen and living room as well as a south facing terrace off the fourth floor library/media room and two terraces off the fifth floor solarium/great room. The current owners worked closely with award winning architect, Steven Harris, to create a one of a kind masterpiece following a three year renovation. Spectacular sunlight floods the house on every floor through large windows and French doors. The residence has English oak herringbone floors, 5 working gas fireplaces including the fire pit on the top floor, and a custom curved staircase at the heart of the house. There is a multi-zone central-air conditioning system throughout, a state-of-the-art security system, a Lutron system for lights and blinds, and a Sonos sound system. The parlor floor, located atop the front stoop opens into a gracious gallery with two coat closets and a marble powder room. A study off the gallery overlooks West 76th Street. Straight ahead is a sun-filled living and dining room with a gas fireplace and three sets of floor-to-ceiling French Doors opening onto a south facing terrace leading down to the garden. Off of the living room is a wet-bar made of a petrified wood slab, a refrigerator, sink, and plenty of counter space and storage. A curved, custom stair case is elegantly tucked into the center of the house next to the new elevator that has access to all but the top floor. The second floor features the sumptuous south facing master suite with oversized windows. It has a handsome marble bath featuring double sinks, a free-standing tub, and a steam shower. A spacious dressing room has walls lined with custom outfitted drawers and closets and connects the master bedroom to the north facing sitting room, which features a bay window looking onto tree-lined West 76th Street. The third floor has two spacious bedrooms at either end of the house. Each bedroom has large windows, two outfitted closets and en-suite bathrooms. A playroom with a laundry room adjacent completes this floor. The fourth floor has two north facing bedrooms with a shared hall bathroom. Also on the fourth floor is a library/media room with a terrace accessed from two French doors. This room is outfitted for entertaining with a gas fireplace and a discrete pantry featuring a refrigerator, dishwasher, and sink. Perched on the top floor, accessed by a separate staircase, is an amazing solarium/great room with a working fire-pit bookended by a north and south facing terrace. The room enjoys abundant light from the floor-to-ceiling glass walls and doors onto each terrace. The south terrace captures views of Central Park West skyline including the Dakota and San Remo while the north terrace enjoys complete privacy with an ivy clad wall and plantings. The garden level, which also has access from the lower stoop on West 76th Street, has a mudroom immediately off the entry, with two walk-in closets, one of which is large enough to store bicycles. Beyond the mudroom is a powder room and two coat closets. An open chef's kitchen with a lava stone center island, pantry, and top-of-the-line appliances opens directly into the family room that also serves as the breakfast room. Three floor-to-ceiling French Doors open into the garden, which has heated pavers to melt snow. The basement level has a gym or playroom with a half bathroom, a 16' x 12'9 laundry room featuring two washers and two dryers plus abundant counter space. Three wine refrigerators and additional storage complete this level. Ideally located in the heart of the Upper West Side, this townhouse offers a meticulous renovation in a coveted location.

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.
