Description

As featured in Vogue Living, Residence 15-157 exemplifies light and scale at the iconic Ansonia. Designed by And Studio, this remarkable residence showcases exceptional craftsmanship and timeless elegance. Once two apartments, this stunning 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom residence has been completely gut-renovated and transformed into a singular residence that is laid out across an entire 1,350 sq ft wing of The Ansonia's 15th floor. The southern and western exposures fill the space with light while 10-foot ceilings, generous room proportions, and chevron-patterned oak floors create a harmonious openness – epitomizing pre-war New York grandeur with modern refinement. With no neighboring units to its sides, this turn-key apartment sits quietly and elegantly atop The Ansonia. Upon arrival through restored French double doors, the formal entry hall leads to the living room. Natural light spills in from oversized southern windows drawing your eyes to the decorative Arabescato marble fireplace. A hidden TV cabinet has cleverly been designed behind folding mirrors. The room is finished with custom bookcases and discrete storage, and a built-in oak desk that sits beneath one of the Ansonia’s iconic elliptical windows. A concealed powder room in the wall features a marble checkerboard floor and marble sink with brass fixtures. The living room leads to the state-of-the-art kitchen and eat-in dining area that marries design and function. Highlights include marble countertops and backsplash, pantry and custom cabinetry, and top-tier modern appliances. Dinner can be served in the dining area on the upholstered oak banquette with a stunning view of the Upper West Side skyline and beautiful sunset as backdrop.  On the other side of the entry hall, the private wing unfolds with two bedrooms, each with an en-suite bath and nicely separated from the living areas to optimize quiet and tranquility. The primary bedroom suite features two large southern windows, a large walk-in closet, and a spa-like en-suite bathroom with travertine shower and finishes. The second bedroom also has an en-suite behind French doors with marble details and shower, and radiant heating under the marble floor. A laundry closet with washer and vented dryer, and discreet additional storage, make the home as functional as it is refined. European hardware and refined brass finishings all add to the conscientious build-out making this apartment a true gem and rare offering. Every detail bears the mark of exceptional craftsmanship creating a home where design and comfort align seamlessly. Built in 1904 by Paul E. Duboy, the Ansonia is a landmarked condominium, and one of New York’s most celebrated Beaux-Arts icons. Residents enjoy 24/7 doorman and concierge service, a landscaped roof deck, private storage, bike storage, and on-site parking. Pet-friendly and conveniently located near Central Park, Riverside Park, the Beacon Theater, Lincoln Center, along with Zabar’s, Citarella, Fairway, Trader Joe’s, and some of the city’s best restaurants—along with express subway access at 72nd Street. Living in the low-70s on Broadway provides you perfect access to the full city experience, but tucked away on a beautiful block uptown that feels like home. Assessments: $361.26 monthly through September 1, 2034; $562.83 monthly for hallway improvements through January 2026. Listing courtesy of Compass ...
