Description

Nestled on a picturesque, tree-lined block in the heart of Manhattan's Upper West Side, this classic New York City townhouse offers a blend of timeless elegance and modern comfort. Beautifully maintained, the residence highlights historic architectural details while providing the sophistication and amenities sought by today’s modern homeowner. While all the period fireplaces throughout the home are original, they were gas and are now decorative. Only the fifth-floor family room fireplace is a functioning wood-burning fireplace.
The house has the convenience of 3 Zone Air Conditioning and 3 Zone Heating for year-round comfort (the furnace is one year old).

Garden Level:

Entering up the original front stoop and through the front doors, you are welcomed into a spacious entry room. From here, you can enjoy a clear view through to the elegant dining room and well-appointed kitchen—both of which offer direct access to the beautifully landscaped backyard just a few steps down to the garden.

Conveniently located off the entry room are a powder room and a coat closet.

The kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances, including a Wolf Professional 6-burner stove & hood, a 36” Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a garbage disposal. For added ease when entertaining, a dumbwaiter connects to the catering kitchen above, ideal for hosting gatherings. The kitchen's direct access to the backyard makes al fresco dining and serving effortless.
