About this property
RENOVATED 20’ WIDE 7 BEDROOM HOME NEAR CENTRAL PARK
Nestled in the heart of a tree-lined block off Central Park West, this five-story, 20’ wide single-family townhouse fuses traditional Upper West Side living with modern conveniences. This large-scale home built in 1882 by celebrated architect Henry J. Hardenbergh is in great condition and is perfectly sized for today’s live/work environment.
55 West 73rd Street is approximately 7,650 square feet of interior living space, over 2,100 square feet of outdoor space, and has an elevator that runs from the garden level to the top floor of the home. There are seven bedrooms, six bathrooms, and one powder room throughout this grand home. 55 West 73rd Street enjoys many outdoor spaces including a spectacular finished roof deck with city views, a gorgeous and large planted garden, a balcony off the living room, and a terrace off one of the fourth floor’s bedrooms. The northern and southern exposures and high ceilings throughout the home flood every level with amazing natural light.
Garden
Upon entering you are greeted by a lovely foyer leading to the home’s formal dining room, which could serve as a library/home office or an additional bedroom, and a large eat-in kitchen. The kitchen is filled with top-of-the-line appliances including a six-burner Viking range and vented hood, SubZero refrigerator and Subzero wine refrigerator. There is a full bathroom on this level and a breakfast room with solarium adjacent to the kitchen for everyday dining. The spacious garden is a true tranquil oasis with privacy greens and beautiful trellis walls. The enjoyment of the garden continues through New York’s colder months from inside the breakfast nook through the solarium.
Parlor
The parlor level serves as the home’s perfect entertaining floor. There is an open layout between the dining and living room with a powder room, charming library, and quaint balcony off the rear of the house overlooking the green garden. The 13’ ceilings and three southern facing windows bring in dramatic light adding to the calming ambiance.
Third Level
The third floor is comprised of a large primary bedroom and secondary bedroom. You can keep the current layout or create a floor-through suite by dedicating this floor to the primary bedroom. The bathroom on this level has a double vanity, soaking tub, and separate shower stall. The primary bedroom also has a large walk-in closet with an additional smaller closet across the room.
Fourth Level
The fourth level has two secondary bedrooms, both with walk-in closets and en-suite bathrooms. As an added luxury, the rear north-facing bedroom also has a finished terrace.
Fifth Level
The top level of the home has two additional bedrooms, both with walk-in closets and en-suite bathrooms. The ceiling height remains high on this level and there is direct access to the finished rooftop.
Roof Deck
A decked roof with sweeping views is ideal for enjoying the warmer months in NYC.
Lower Level
The lower level of the home is fully finished and houses the laundry room, building and elevator mechanicals, boiler, and extra storage space.
Ideally located just off Central Park West, 55 West 73rd Street is in close proximity to Lincoln Center, and some of the finest dining and shopping New York City has to offer.
