Property Description for 135 West 70th Street, PH-D

Prewar Condominium Duplex Penthouse Perfection. Penthouse D is an architectural masterpiece comprising nearly 2,200 sqft of interior space and an extraordinary 700 sqft of private terraces. This stunning, triple mint penthouse with private elevator entry atop one of the Upper Westside's finest full service, art deco condominiums is an exceptional offering. Two primary bedroom suites are found on the first level, each with its own beautiful en-suite bath swathed in slab marble and custom cabinetry. Multiple sun-filled South facing terraces off both bedrooms boast unobstructed views and tranquil privacy. A gorgeous walk-in private dressing room and closet with a sky lit domed ceiling and encased in custom walnut afford the ultimate luxury experience. Connected by a stunning glass and walnut custom staircase, the second level is where you’ll find the open plan living spaces with ceiling heights up to 14 feet. Adjacent is an enormous, South facing, private terrace with Eastern, Western and Southern skyline views out to the rivers and boroughs. The open plan loft-like living and dining spaces feature abundant light through oversized North and South facing windows and multiple skylights. The beautiful, windowed custom kitchen was built with the finest appliances and adorned with artisan mill-worked cabinetry. The oversized library/den area is surrounded by a wall of windows with Southern exposure and open access to the expansive terrace replete with art deco detail, iron railings and panoramic city views. The level of finish throughout the entire property is the finest available including custom walnut plank floors, limestone and marble clad bathrooms, high end European kitchen appliances and fixtures and custom closet detail in every room. A beautifully crafted wood burning fireplace completes one of the finest offerings available. The Pythian is a full service condominium with a long history, located on the Upper West Side’s Gold Coast just steps from Central Park, Lincoln Center, and The Hudson River Greenway. Designed by Thomas W. Lamb and built in 1927, it was occupied by the Knights of Pythias until the 1940’s when it became the headquarters for Decca Records. Its striking facade and architectural features make it a stand out landmark and an Upper West Side icon. Amenities include a full-time doorman, live- in super, porter, laundry room, kids playroom, storage and a brand new gym.

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.
