Property Description for 12 West 72nd Street, PH-A

The Crown Jewel of The Oliver Cromwell

Perched on the 27th-29th floors of Emery Roth's celebrated 1927 landmark the Oliver Cromwell. This singular triplex residence delivers unmatched light, sweeping skyline, Park and Hudson views, and gracious indoor/outdoor living - a rare Upper West Side offering.

Enter on the 27th floor to an expansive great room framed by western vistas and UV-protected gallery windows. Ten-foot ceilings and pristine hardwood floors create an elegant space for both intimate evenings and grand entertaining. The layout accommodates distinct living and dining areas, a convenient powder room, and a tucked-away den - fully wired for surround sound and ideal as a media room or guest bedroom. Central audio flows throughout the home.

The chef's kitchen is impeccably appointed with Sub-Zero refrigeration, a Thermador range with built-in grill, two Miele dishwashers, abundant storage, and a pass-through window that balances open flow with privacy. From the kitchen sink you look south across midtown - a living picture.

A gracious staircase ascends to the 28th floor and a true highlight: a 300-sf private terrace offering dramatic panoramas of Central Park, the Hudson River, and the downtown skyline. Equipped with an electronic retractable awning, the terrace is perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining. This level also includes a secondary kitchenette with Miele dishwasher and microwave, a cozy home office, and a bedroom with Park views and an en-suite bath featuring a Jacuzzi tub.

The entire top floor is a serene primary suite sanctuary with north, west and south exposures, exceptional light, and sweeping sky and Park vistas. A generous walk-in closet and a luxurious bath - oversized soaking tub, double vanities, and a steam shower complete the private retreat.

The Oliver Cromwell is a classic Upper West Side cooperative offering white-glove service with a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, bike room, storage, and central laundry. Ideally located moments from Central Park and the neighborhood's finest boutiques, cafes, and restaurants.

A once-in-a-generation apartment - pristine, private, and quintessentially Manhattan.

Capital Assessment and Facade Work: $961.38 per month from 2024 to December 2026.

Central Park West | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Home to some of New York City’s most famous buildings like The Dakota, with its enchanting architecture, and the equally impressive San Remo just a couple streets away, Central Park West is one of the most eye-popping neighborhoods to live in. 

It is historically renowned for its blending of architecture and residential living. So much so, that it earned a listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It is thought to have some of the most diverse and beautiful skylines in all of New York and has drawn celebrity residents for decades

If world-class architecture isn’t enough for you, there are plenty of warm brownstones to be found as well. There is so much to do in Central Park West, the most obvious being in the name of the neighborhood itself. With Central Park running the length of one of its borders, there’s easy access to the park and all its wonders, running trails, row boats, and bridges. If you prefer the indoors, the American Museum of Natural History is at your service. 

There are few places in the world that can match Central Park West’s varied combination of urban and residential charm, elegance, and spirit.
