Property Description for 18 West 74th Street, 1

Exquisite Central Park Duplex in a Neo-Georgian Mansion with Private Landscaped Garden

Step back in time at 18 WEST 74TH STREET, a rare 1904 Upper West Side residence. Set within a distinguished 25-foot-wide neo-Georgian mansion on one of Central Park's most coveted blocks, this exceptional duplex offers timeless elegance and refined living.

One enters the residence through the grand, richly appointed lobby, arriving at the parlor level where 14-foot ceilings, mahogany beam details, and beautifully carved wood mantels frame three fireplaces. In pristine condition, this gracious floor features a sun-filled living room, a formal dining room or library, and a thoughtfully designed kitchen with an adjacent powder room.

A sculptural wooden staircase leads to the lower level, where two serene bedrooms each feature beautifully appointed en-suite baths with radiant heated floors, premium fixtures, and abundant storage. The primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a fireplace, generous closet space, and direct access to the stunning private garden. An elegant entrance to the garden is also positioned at the base of the staircase.

Steeped in history, the magnificent landscaped garden was designed by renowned architect and designer Charles Warren and was featured in Pocket Gardens by James Grayson Trulove. This rare outdoor sanctuary includes cast-iron ornamental City Seals designed by sculptor Rene P. Chamberlain, originally mounted along the old outer walls of the West Side Highway. Tranquil and beautifully composed, it is an extraordinary setting for entertaining or quiet retreat.

Additional highlights include hardwood floors throughout, through-wall air conditioning in every room, an in-unit washer/dryer, abundant closets, and exceptional storage. Private storage coveys with the home too.

Original details-including a grand staircase and private elevator-reflect its historic past, now reimagined as a discreet boutique coop in prime location, right at Central Park and the neighborhood's finest dining, cultural attractions and shops.

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.
