    South-facing terraceRooftop deckModern amenitiesOriginal pre-war detailsTop-of-the-line miele appliance suiteOriginal brick wall detailsGorgeous tree-lined block
    A formidable presence on a gorgeous, tree-lined block on the Upper West Side, this exceptional Queen Anne Revival-style townhouse offers over approximately 8,300 sq.ft. of interior space and 1,100 sq.ft. of outdoor space. Built in 1910 by prolific architect Gilbert A. Schellenger, the residence was painstakingly renovated to maintain its original pre-war details while including modern amenities and conveniences. Moments from Central Park, this 20’ wide home boasts grandly proportioned rooms with meticulous design touches and finishes. Entering the home via the classic enclosed foyer, the elegant parlor boasts 12’ ceiling heights, two fireplaces and beautiful views onto 87th Street. A formal dining room overlooks the enclosed garden via a planting terrace and features coffered ceilings and a fireplace. An adjacent butler’s pantry leads to the kitchen on the garden level and is serviced by a dumbwaiter. A chic, discreet powder room rounds out the parlor level. The garden floor, accessible from street level, features an expansive chef’s kitchen with a top-of-the-line Miele appliance suite that is seamlessly integrated into the custom cabinetry, a Calacatta Oro marble-topped island, and abundant pantry and storage options. A sitting room, a large mud room with adjacent full bathroom and a light-filled breakfast room that flows to the enclosed, landscaped garden complete the garden level. Encompassing the entire third floor, the palatial primary suite, spans 1,350 sq.ft. It comes complete with a large bedroom featuring an adjacent sitting room, three walk-in closets, and a skylit ensuite with gorgeous marble details, a soaking tub and large shower with Victoria + Albert brass hardware, and a separate WC. Two more bedrooms sit on the fourth floor, each with ample custom closets and ensuite, marble-clad bathrooms, one boasting a south-facing terrace. The fifth floor features a handsome library with sweeping proportions, a stunning, back-lit full bar and original brick wall details. A guest suite sits on the south side with its own tiled ensuite with a large shower. Currently configured as an office, the sixth floor could be used as a large entertaining space, as it accesses a rooftop deck with stunning city views. The fully finished basement features an enclosed gym, a custom-constructed wine cellar, a full bathroom, a proper laundry room and endless storage options. Connected by a grand staircase and an elevator, this home’s other various modern amenities include a seven-zone HVAC, radiant-heat flooring, Sonos sound system and NEST climate controls.
