About This Property
Residence 15G, a large high-floor corner two-bed / two-bath
condominium, showcases extraordinary sunsets and sweeping views of
Manhattan's Upper West Side including the iconic Lincoln Center for
the Performing Arts and Fordham University's verdant campus and
sculpture garden. Having undergone an extensive top-to-bottom
renovation by award-winning architecture & design firm J_spy, the
contemporary home presents a bright, airy and open loft-like
concept with an abundance of storage. Located in the full-service
Sofia, a storied prewar Art Deco building, this Lincoln Square
aerie is just moments from Central Park and Columbus Circle.
The home's pin-drop-quiet interior is bathed in natural light through corner casement windows which face west all the way out to New Jersey and north up Columbus Avenue. Perched above Lincoln Center's Damrosch Park, the living room offers a personal skybox to performances at the renowned Guggenheim Bandshell.
Situated in the heart of the residence is a sprawling open kitchen appointed with extensive marbled quartz countertops + breakfast bar, a chevron mosaic backsplash finished in Calacatta marble, pendant lighting, chrome fixtures and stainless steel appliances from Liebherr, Samsung and KitchenAid. Adjacent is a dining area which can easily accommodate a table of six guests.
Both bedrooms are equipped with blackout shades and feature the same open, picturesque views of Lincoln Center and Fordham across the street. The large primary bedroom boasts a massive walk-in closet that can be converted to an office. Down a corridor and through a pocket door is a sumptuous en-suite bathroom clad in subway tile and chevroned Calacatta marble, and is outfitted with a tub, triple door medicine cabinet, vessel sink and fixtures all by Kohler and Hansgrohe. A pocket door off the living space opens to the sun-drenched second bedroom that can accommodate a queen-sized bed.
Other hallmarks of this extraordinary home include a second full bathroom with a walk-in rain shower, custom cove lighting throughout with Lutron dimmers, HVAC controlled by ecobee's SmartThermostat, a gracious foyer, multiple walk-in closets, beamed ceilings, custom window treatments, built-ins, and hardwood flooring. A laundry room on the floor (maintained by the building) is adjacent to 15G's front door!
The landmarked Sofia Condominium is one of the few surviving prewar commercial-to-residential conversions in Lincoln Square. Built in 1929-30, the tiered brick and terra cotta structure was originally designed in the Art Deco style as an automatic parking garage innovative for its time and later served as the Sofia Brothers [storage] Warehouse in the 1940's. Today, this premier building is home to 92 residences and is serviced by a full-time staff and live-in resident manager. Setback from 61st Street, a two-way semi-circular driveway (with parking for loading & unloading) and a planted canopied entrance welcome guests into this historic property. Other highlights of 43 West 61st Street include laundry on every floor, and bicycle and common storage (common storage is complimentary on a first come, first serve basis).
Please note, there are currently two small on-going monthly assessments: $151.19 (reserve fund contribution) and $270.16 (line of credit for capital improvements). Taxes listed reflect eligibility for the "Co-op/Condo Abatement" ($1,896.01/month with no benefit).
