Property Description for 171 West 57th Street, 8-C
A residence of rare proportion and pedigree, this 2,500-square-foot 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathrooms home occupies a singular position within one of Central Park South's most distinguished prewar addresses. Ten-foot ceilings, a thirty-foot south-facing living room, a separate formal dining room, and a graceful flow of light-filled rooms reveal the kind of architectural framework that defines New York's most sought-after homes - and that no renovation can manufacture. A recent gut renovation has refined every surface while honoring the integrity of the original plan.
A private elevator vestibule opens into a gracious foyer, setting a tone of quiet arrival. From there, the living and dining rooms extend in a single sunlit expanse, framing iconic south-facing views of Carnegie Hall and the towers of Billionaires' Row. The scale is generous, the light constant, the sense of place unmistakable.
The primary suite is a true sanctuary - two walk-in closets, a beautifully appointed en-suite bath, and a sense of remove uncommon in the heart of the city. Two additional bedrooms are graciously proportioned and bathed in natural light, each served by its own full bath. A powder room off the foyer, abundant custom storage, central air conditioning, and an in-unit washer and dryer complete a home of effortless modern function.
The Briarcliff stands among Central Park South's most discreet white-glove condominiums - a boutique 33-unit building designed in 1922 by Warren & Wetmore, the celebrated architects of Grand Central Terminal. A full-time doorman and resident manager attend to daily life with quiet precision. Just beyond the door lie Central Park, Columbus Circle, MoMA, Lincoln Center, and the flagship dining and shopping of Fifth and Madison Avenues.

Four+ Beds in Midtown West
Midtown West | Manhattan
Quick Profile
People, yellow cabs, bright lights, big crowds, 24-hour eateries and just about every type of store imaginable. it’s a frenetic buzz that only a few places on the globe can offer. And that’s just one part of it. Midtown West is the birthplace of hustle and bustle and it’s bordered by 42nd to the south, 59th Street to the north, 8th Avenue to the west, and 5th Avenue to the east.
Midtown West is not as residential as other neighborhoods in Manhattan. The bustling part of Midtown West is 42nd Street between Times Square and 8th Avenues where the retail and office space, theatres, and attractions are. No matter what time of day it is, you'll always find activity there.
Residential buildings lay near the western end of Midtown West beginning around 8th Avenue.
Location, location, location. Of all the neighborhoods and enclaves of Manhattan, Midtown West is perhaps the most commutable place to live, visit, or work. It contains one of the highest concentrations of subway lines in the Big Apple. A, C, E, N, Q, R, 1, 2, 3, and the 7 train. The transit system feeds the streets with commuters from everywhere. The Port Authority Bus Terminal and nearby Penn Station adds to the number of people that flood Midtown on any given day.
It’s one of the easiest places in all of Manhattan to navigate because it’s a true grid. Uptown, street numbers go up. Downtown, street numbers go down. It’s the same concept from east to west. You really can’t get lost in Midtown West.
