Property Description for 51 West 73rd Street

Welcome Home to 51 WEST 73RD STREET, an exceptional blend of authentic history and contemporary style, located just off Central Park.

A Gilded Age treasure (built circa 1885), 51 WEST 73RD STREET was designed by Henry Hardenberg, the renowned architect of The Dakota and the Waldorf and Astoria hotels, this stately five-story home Townhouse incorporates many of his signature touches, like the generous use of brick and stone, a striking Mansard roof and German Renaissance detail.

On either side of the Foyer the Living Room and formal Dining Room present themselves, each with 13' ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, intricate moldings, and enormous wood-framed windows, complete with original shutters, inviting beautiful light.
The sweeping mahogany staircase or the well sized elevator will lead you to the third floor, where you will find the Primary Suite and Study highlighted by a striking original stained glass window, 12' ceiling, beautifully proportioned rooms and excellent closets.

Continue on to the fourth floor and two additional Bedrooms ensuite, with tall ceilings and streaming sunshine.

The fifth floor offers three additional Bedrooms, two additional Baths and the Playroom - Reading Room - Home Office.

At the Garden level, the large Eat-in Kitchen features abundant cabinetry, pantry, and counter space. The Kitchen has been designed to host a round table seating 8 people for informal dining, or tall glass doors out to the deep and lushly planted private backyard, perfect for al fresco dining or simply relaxing at any time of day.

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.
