Enter on the entertaining level, where a gracious living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and exposed brick, creating a warm, townhouse-like atmosphere. An adjacent dining area and windowed kitchen complete the main level, along with a full bathroom.
Upstairs, the oversized primary bedroom offers excellent proportions, a walk-in closet and a second full bath. Just beyond is the apartment's private terrace-a peaceful outdoor retreat in the heart of the Upper West Side.
For buyers seeking additional flexibility, an alternate architectural plan illustrates the potential to create a second bedroom by incorporating the existing terrace into the interior living space. A further concept contemplates the creation of private outdoor space above, offering a compelling opportunity to reimagine the penthouse over time. All alterations are subject to applicable co-op, architectural and governmental approvals.
Penthouse B combines many of the qualities that are increasingly difficult to find together: penthouse privacy, private outdoor space, a wood-burning fireplace, two full bathrooms, elevator access, exceptionally low monthly maintenance and the potential for a second bedroom-all on one of the Upper West Side's most desirable park blocks.
Located just moments from Central Park, the apartment is surrounded by the neighborhood's restaurants, shops, cultural institutions and transportation, yet feels remarkably removed from the city below.
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.
