Property Description for 136 West 75th Street, 5-CDE

Freshly Renovated, Sunshiny Stunner In Well-Run Building with NO UNDERLYING MORTGAGE
Well-Planned Wonder-Home w/Central AC & Washer/Dryer w/Garden & Treetop Views in Classic UWS Building/
Spread Out in Style: Beautiful, Smart, & Expansive Renovation — Renovated Completed Less Than 1 Year Ago!
The owners of this formidable head-turner were drawn to the big, bright, South-facing walls of windows that quietly look out onto the gardens and treetops below. So, when they spend one year seamlessly combining three homes to create this sun-splashed stunner, they knew its signature element would be a grand, double-wide living/dining room — a lofty space built to showcase the light and treetops via two sets of oversized French doors and windows. This became the soulful core of this feel-good home, and this big, bright living/dining room sets the style tone for the rest of this magnificent residence.
Open to the living/dining rooms is a supreme, cook’s kitchen with a dining bar. This culinary dream space is both handsome and practical, and is ideally situated to support easy living and elegant entertaining. Boasting custom Cerused Oak cabinetry, a sizable pantry, ample stone counters and backsplash, an under-window sink, and top-tier, integrated appliances by Subzero, Miele, and Wolf, this eat-in, open kitchen is the perfect blend of good form and fabulous function.
The main bedroom is quietly split from the other bedroom wings. It enjoys the same sunny exposure as the big living room, and offers two oversized windows onto the treetops. This king-sized bedroom suite offers a designer walk-in closet, and an en suite, double-windowed, marble bathroom with dual sinks, and a step-in shower with herringbone marble feature walls./br> The first and second guest bedrooms are on the other side of this large, freshly redone, designer home. One of the guest rooms has two big South-facing windows onto treetops, and built-in closets and desk. It shares a dual-entry, marble, windowed bathroom with a second guest bedroom with a large window — a comfy space with a built-in desk that is ideal for a bonus office/den. The third guest bedroom is quite private, and has two exposures, bay-type windows, custom closets, and its own en suite, marble, windowed bath.
Above are high ceilings with recessed lighting and an integrated sound system, and underfoot are wide-planked Oak floors. There is a sweet foyer with dual custom closets, there is a vibrant, marble powder room, there is an outfitted washer/dryer closet, and central AC. The moldings and millwork are artfully implemented, there are good walls for art, and there are mindful designer choices throughout.
This perfectly perched, easy-to-love home is sweetly positioned in its well-served, pre-war building (with no underlying mortgage), and enjoys access to a wonderful, live-in super and with bike/storage and laundry rooms./br> Here, on one of the Upper Westside’s most convenient, leafy blocks — equidistant from both Central and Riverside Parks — and close to every area cultural, dining, and shopping destination (and easy transportation options), life is convenient and fun.
Style, beauty, sunshine, and good design await.
(PLEASE NOTE: One percent flip tax paid by buyer. Dogs not permitted. Pied a terre buyers welcome.)

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.
