A RARE CENTRAL PARK BLOCK RETREAT BY A TONY AWARD-WINNING BROADWAY DESIGNER
Move-in ready and available furnished, this extraordinary pre-war parlor-floor residence or pied-a-terre offers a rare combination of theatrical drama, refined craftsmanship, and intimate comfort on one of the Upper West Side’s most beautiful tree-lined blocks.
Originally configured as a one-bedroom home, the recently renovated residence has been transformed into a dreamy loft-like studio with nearly 12-foot ceilings, handsome wide-plank oak floors, restored exposed brick walls, and an original working fireplace. Custom theatrical lighting heightens the architecture and atmosphere, allowing the home to shift effortlessly from a bright sunny, welcoming retreat by day to richly layered sanctuary by night.
Three oversized, double-insulated windows artfully frame leafy, cherry blossom, and architectural views while bathing the home in all-day southern light. The effect is both expansive and serene: a residence with genuine presence, balanced by warmth and ease.
At the center of the home, the custom open kitchen combines elegant materials with exceptional function. Warm walnut cabinetry, interior-lit drawers, a dining bar, and fully integrated Bosch appliances create a seamless setting for everything from morning coffee to sophisticated entertaining.
The oversized, spa-inspired bathroom features marble, modern subway tile, refined fixtures, abundant storage, a generous step-in shower, a washlet toilet, and radiant heated floors. The residence has also been comprehensively modernized with new electrical and copper plumbing, state-of-the-art theatrical lighting, and integrated AV.
Thoughtful custom features include an oversized storage loft and a hideaway wall bed that converts into a substantial desk, preserving the room’s open character while adding remarkable flexibility. The home may be purchased fully furnished, offering the opportunity to acquire a complete, highly personal design vision.
Set within a boutique, pet-friendly cooperative, the residence includes a generous private storage cage and access to a laundry room. Its coveted location places Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, neighborhood dining, shopping, museums, and transportation nearby, with convenient access to the B, C, 1, 2, and 3 subway lines and multiple bus routes. Central Park’s magnificent Reservoir Pathway is just down the block.
A singular home of character, craftsmanship, and quiet glamour, this is a rare opportunity to own a fully realized designer residence in one of the Upper West Side’s most distinctive settings. A poetic retreat with a flair for the theatrical—gracious by day, magical by firelight, and ready for its next act.
