Ten-foot ceilings, herringbone-patterned blonde oak flooring in the parlor and hardwood floors throughout, three Chesney wood-burning fireplaces, and custom crown molding imbue the residence with timeless, refined elegance. The chef's kitchen is appointed with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, custom cabinetry, radiant-heated tile flooring, a walk-in pantry, and a Miele dishwasher. Bathrooms are finished with WaterWorks fixtures throughout, with the primary bath featuring a cast-iron soaking tub and an oversized walk-in shower, and the fourth-floor en suite baths offering air-jet whirlpool spas.

Upper-floor bedrooms each offer en suite bathrooms and large closets.
Designed and maintained by Plant Specialists - one of New York's most esteemed landscape firms - the private rear garden is a true urban sanctuary, complete with a built-in irrigation system for effortless year-round maintenance.

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.
