About this property
18 West 95th Street is a fully renovated, park block townhouse with a 3-level owner unit plus 3 studio apartments. The owner unit, previously designed by James Polshek in 1965, has been re-imagined and meticulously renovated with European flair by Resolution: 4 Architecture (res4), a 21st Century design firm known for its custom modern homes. (https://www.re4a.com/). Design elements, from exposed brick to double paneled Steelcase windows and doors to customized, 7" white oak flooring, blend together to make this owner unit truly unique. All the woodwork in the kitchen cabinetry, shelving, closets, and bedroom built-ins are customized from Henrybuilt and are American black oak. No expense was spared and every refined detail was considered. The new owner of 18 West 95th Street can live luxuriously in this owner unit and then enjoy the benefits of the 3 studio units with either extra income as rental units, additional living space for family and friends or private areas for those who continue to work from home.
