Property Description for 386 Columbus Ave, 17/18A
Night at the Museum!
A Rare Triplex perched right on top of the Museum of Natural History!
High above above the Upper West Side, Penthouse17A/18A at 386 Columbus Avenue is a three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath triplex with over 2,000 sq/ft inside and 600+ sq/ft outside. This is your chance to build a true forever home.
Three levels. Soaring, loft-like rooms. Walls of oversized windows framing Central Park's treetops, the Manhattan skyline, and jaw-dropping views straight into the American Museum of Natural History. Hardwood floors and generous proportions give you a blank canvas for a showstopping renovation.
The chef's kitchen has been lightly renovated and is ready for its glow-up, plus each of the three bedrooms offers real privacy.
Then there's the crown jewel: a private terrace built for skyline sunsets, alfresco dinners, and Manhattan at its best.
It all sits inside an intimate, full-service condo with a 24-hour doorman - steps from Central Park, Lincoln Center, the best museums, and the neighborhood's best restaurants and shopping.
This is a rare shot at a custom penthouse home in one of the city's most coveted locations.

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.
