Property Description for 27 West 72nd Street, PH-C

Chic Upper West Side penthouse with 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and massive outdoor space!

Atop the luxurious prewar Olcott condominium, a half block from Central Park, rests this beautiful 1,741 sq ft home with an extraordinary 1,200+/- sq ft terrace, bathed in sunlight with a view of the park. Off the elegant entry gallery with a walk-in closet are steps to an outdoor oasis that is unparalleled in NYC. Host barbecues with a built-in gas grilling station, and enjoy the open city vistas that capture Central Park on your huge terrace featuring lush plantings and irrigation.

Inside enjoy an entertainer's dream space - a sun-filled corner great room with oversized windows overlooking the terrace and cityscapes. Oak wood floors, a decorative fireplace and built-ins enrich the ambience. The open kitchen in sparkling white is tailored to the chef with custom cabinetry, Caesarstone quartz countertops, a large prep/breakfast bar, and premium Miele appliances. Nearby is a guest powder room and hidden laundry room with a Whirlpool washer/dryer and storage.

The sleeping wing has 2 king-size bedrooms facing east. The primary suite has an enormous walk-in closet and spa bath wrapped in high-end tile and marble. A secondary bedroom with a custom-outfitted closet accesses a high-end full bath across the hall. Oak wood floors, designer lighting, integrated audio, and a private storage cage heighten the allure.

The 1925-built Olcott, a NYC landmark, was impeccably restored by renowned Andres Escobar and converted to a full-service condo in 2006. Elevating the lifestyle is an elegant lobby, 24-hour doorman & concierge, live-in super, double-height fitness center, lounge with dining room & catering kitchen, children's playroom, cold storage & bike room. Best of all is the address, on a tree-lined street moments from Central Park, near upscale shops & restaurants, museums, and the 1, 2, 3, B & C subway lines. Pets ok.

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.
