About This Property

Welcome home to one of the best-priced 2 bedroom condos steps from Lincoln Center and Central Park! This 1,080 square foot home stuns with soaring 16+ foot ceilings and updated finishes.

The entry foyer opens into a dramatic great room complete with oversized windows and a pin-drop quiet northern exposure. To the left, an updated kitchen awaits, boasting recessed lighting, custom Crown Point cabinetry, rich granite countertops, and a professional-grade suite of appliances from Theramdor and JennAir. Tucked behind the great room is a tranquil king-sized bedroom complete with en-suite bath and walk-in dressing salon.

Ascend the stairs to a full-height second floor. This versatile space is currently configured as a 2nd full bedroom with en-suite bathroom, office, and storage, all overlooking the great room. Abundant closets, storage options, and dual-zone central A/C round out the duplex.

The building offers a full-time staff, community room, laundry facilities, storage, and will welcome a brand new gym in 2019.

Located steps from Central Park, Lincoln Center, and The Hudson River Greenway, The Pythian is a full-service condominium with a rich history. Designed by Thomas W. Lamb and built in 1927, it was occupied by The Knights of Pythias until the 1940s when it became the headquarters for Decca Records. Buddy Holly, Sammy Davis Jr, and Billie Holiday are some of the great names who recorded their hits here for the next 15 years. Following its use as The New York Institute of Technology's main campus in the 1950s and 1960s, the building was converted into condominiums in 1986 after an award-winning redesign by renowned architect David Gura. To this day, it's striking facade and architectural features make it a stand out landmark and an Upper West Side icon.

Included in the stated common charges is an ongoing assessment of $172.76/month. This is a Co-Exclusive
