129 West 70th Street, GARDEN

Townhouse living, co-op ease. Watch our video to get an insiders perspective of the home! Step into over 3,100 sq. ft. on three levels with a private backyard garden, private entrances, soaring 12-ft ceilings — just one block from Central Park. With 5 flexible bedrooms, parlor-level balcony, and indoor-outdoor flow, 129 West 70th Street, Apt. 1 delivers the rare feel of a townhouse lifestyle in a landmarked Upper West Side brownstone cooperative. Unlike most apartments, this home offers two points of entry: a gracious main lobby entrance and a dedicated private entry that functions like your own townhouse door. The private entrance opens into a large foyer, perfect for a mudroom, stroller parking, or bicycle storage — features rarely found in Manhattan apartments. On the parlor level, grand entertaining takes center stage with soaring twelve-foot ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace as the focal point. Large windows and French doors open to a private balcony with stairs leading directly to the garden, creating an effortless connection between indoors and out. The expansive living and dining area provides the perfect backdrop for both lively gatherings and comfortable everyday living. The garden level serves as a true private retreat, featuring two extra-large bedrooms and a nursery or office, all with direct access to the backyard. Bathrooms on this level allow for customization, including the possibility of adding his-and-her sinks to create a dedicated primary wing. The lowest level offers flexible living with rooms that can easily adapt to a variety of needs, whether additional bedrooms, a home office, or children’s spaces. With low monthly maintenance relative to the scale of the home, this residence offers the opportunity to put down roots for years to come. There is also potential to add a half bath on the parlor floor, as reflected in the floor plan. The cooperative itself is an intimate five-unit brownstone, ideally located just steps from Central Park, Lincoln Center, Zabar’s, Fairway, and express subway lines.
