About this property
Originally built in 1900, on land once owned by Edward Clark, the developer of The Dakota, sits this gorgeous elevator brownstone. It is perfectly positioned on one of the most conveniently located Upper West Side tree-lined blocks between Amsterdam and Columbus Avenues. Just 1.25 blocks from Central Park, a just-completed, extensive gut renovation was beautifully designed by award-winning Murdock-Solon Architects. This well-scaled classic contemporary home features a hydraulic elevator, 10-zone Air Conditioning and heating, radiant floors, and Crestron control systems that have been remarkably re-imagined for today’s lifestyle with an outstanding level of care and detail.
CELLAR – A fully finished cellar that is complete with supplemental laundry is additionally suitable for both regular storage and wine storage.
GARDEN FLOOR: The refined facade of this home, as part of a row of enchanting townhouses, welcomes you via a garden-level entry vestibule. You are led past a full bedroom suite/office, and a powder room, to a large 27-foot-plus casual living room/great room. From here you are led to the 550sf, irrigated, south-facing landscaped garden, ‘walled’ with towering Bamboo that provides a year-round green hedge.
PARLOR FLOOR: The chic, gracefully curved stairway leads you up to the Parlor Floor. (Alternatively, you can use the elevator that services all living floors, all the way to the penthouse level.) This floor impresses with dramatic 11ft 4" ceiling heights, yet the scale of the rooms is invitingly comforting in nature. A north-facing living room with a fireplace is perfect for intimate gatherings. To the south, the large, impressive kitchen is superbly appointed with custom cabinetry, a La Cornufe range, Thermador refrigeration, and Miele dishwashers. Beyond the kitchen is a sublime dining area with floor-to-ceiling paned windows overlooking the garden, the perfect setting for gatherings. A stairway leads outside to a 130sf deck that connects via stairs to the garden below.
SECOND FLOOR: This entire floor is dedicated to a sumptuous primary bedroom. The bedroom itself is large, almost 25 feet in length, with an equally impressive 20-foot walk-in closet. The spa-like, en-suite bathroom is a symphony of large slabs of divine book-matched marble, and a deep soaking tub, surrounded by a deck, and a large shower stall.
THIRD FLOOR: This floor comprises two generously scaled bedroom suites, each with its own bathroom and a closet. The south-facing bedroom benefits by having access to a lovely 150sf sunny terrace. A laundry room with a full-sized washer/dryer and sink adds to the practical amenities of this outstanding renovation.
FOURTH FLOOR: This floor also houses two bedrooms, one en-suite, and the other with a full bathroom directly alongside. it. Each room is filled with super charming design character, and the southern bedroom has a Juliette-style terrace.
PENTHOUSE FLOOR: The flexible top-floor room is bright with its own terrace and a half bathroom. Additionally, it boasts a wet bar and the extremely valuable convenience of elevator access.
