EASILY CONVERTIBLE INTO A 2-BEDROOM PENTHOUSE WITH OUTDOOR SPACE AND AIR-RIGHTS AT ULTRA LOW MONTHLIES

Welcome to 34 West 74th Street, Penthouse B

Located on the most beautiful Upper West Side block just off Central Park, this gorgeous duplex penthouse with private terrace is an absolute exceptional find.
Penthouse B currently features 1-Bedroom and 2-Baths with its own private terrace and direct access to a common terrace with views of the famed San Remo, a sliver view of Central Park and the iconic Carlyle Hotel in the distance on the East side. The home has a working wood-burning fireplace and wonderfully exposed pre-war original brownstone features.

If you are looking for more living space or additional bedrooms, the current layout offers multiple options. The new owner can use the private terrace to extend the home's footprint, creating a 2nd bedroom on the upper level or simply extending the floor's indoor footprint, while using the adjacent common terrace as the home's outdoor extension. Furthermore, a 2nd or even 3rd bedroom could harmoniously be added on the lower level. Please see two alternate floor plan suggestions.

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.
