Property Description for 135 West 70th Street, 1-D

135 West 70th Street, Residence 1D
Townhouse spirit. Condo convenience.

Welcome to Residence 1D - a triple-height, triple-tiered, triple-treat of Upper West Side living.

Spread across three dramatic levels and nearly 1,400 square feet, this rare home delivers soaring scale, flexible spaces, and not one - but TWO private outdoor sanctuaries. It's the city dream we whisper about and occasionally find.

On the entry level, open-plan living flows to your first private terrace - the perfect perch for morning coffee or evening unwinding. This space is quiet, tranquil and surrounded by trees, an inviting respite from the hustle and bustle of NYC. A stylish kitchen with abundant counter space and powder room complete this entertaining floor.

Ascend to your tranquil top level - home to a king sized primary suite with generous closets, 4 in total, ensuite bath, and your second private outdoor haven. A bonus and separate office nook offers the ideal work-from-home command center.

But the showstopper?

A studio-sized recreation level with 12-foot ceilings - a voluminous, versatile space that invites imagination. Media room? Gym? Creative studio? Guest suite? Yes. With its own bath and private entry, this flexible floor bends to your life - not the other way around. Washer and dryers are permitted with board approval although the building laundry room is right outside this lower level.

All this in a full-service condominium on a leafy West 70s block, surrounded by the best of the Upper West Side: Central Park, Lincoln Center, Metropolitan Opera, David Geffen Hall, Walter Reade Theatre and Columbus Circle. Don't miss some of our favorite local establishments; Tavern on the Green, Jean-Georges, The Lincoln, Levain Bakery, Solid State coffee and the Mermaid Inn. Equinox, OrangeTheory, NY Sports Club, Barry's, SLT, SolidCore, CorePower Yoga and many other fitness studios are within a 5-minute walk. Grocers abound, with Fairway, Trader Joes, Morton Williams and Wegman's (opening soon!) all within 5 blocks. Conveniently located near the 1/2/3/B/C and the 72nd and 66th Street cross town buses.

The legendary Pythian Condominium, is one of the Upper West Side's most storied buildings. Designed by Thomas W. Lamb and built in 1927, The Pythian is an architectural marvel originally designed as a fraternal temple and converted into a full-service condominium in the 1980s. Residents enjoy a full-time concierge, a fully equipped gym, a bicycle storage room, personal storage room, live in Resident Manager, service entrance with no stairs and a newly renovated laundry room in the finished basement. The building is wired for FIOS. Pets permitted, up to 4 pets per apartment. Investor friendly, subletting allowed and there is no flip tax! Capital assessment of $130.93 through December, 2025. Real Estate Taxes listed reflect owner occupied abatement.


Big space. Big ceilings. Big life. A rare condominium triplex that lives like a townhouse - and feels like opportunity.

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.
