About This Property
Step into a dream apartment in the heart of Manhattan's Upper West Side. How many other townhouse apartments have room for your 3,000 bottle collection?
When you first enter this 3-story townhouse-like apartment, you are practically transported to a country house in France. The primary suite is complete with a wood-burning fireplace, an office, seating area, and a stained glass ensuite bathroom. This oversized bedroom boasts soaring 12'2" high ceilings, period details and two oversized windows that look out into the greenery and blossoming cherry tree. Across the hall from the primary suite is the second bedroom (currently used as a luxurious dressing room).
Make your way down the staircase and step into the kitchen and dining area. The exposed brick and beamed ceilings make this apartment timeless and unique. Complete with modern appliances (Bosch dishwasher, Sub Zero fridges/freezers with inconspicuous drawer configuration), this open kitchen (with significant storage) is perfect for cooking and entertaining. Off the dining room is the den boasting its own view of the garden, stylish grasscloth wallpaper and two beautifully designed closets (one housing a whole-house audio system).
From this level you can access the private garden and decked backyard. Complete with a fire pit, dining table, and cabana style chair, this is the perfect outdoor area for Spring and Summer entertainment. Cozy up with a book in the hutted lounge chair surrounded by greenery and an oversized cherry blossom tree.
As you continue down the staircase to the bottom floor there is a bathroom like no other: ancient exposed stone, beamed ceiling and an oversized copper soaking tub make this space feel absolutely enchanted. A full shower and a window, letting in natural light, complete the room. The final chapter of this townhouse style home is a temperature and humidity-regulated 3,000 bottle wine cellar, large enough to store your collections and to taste your favorite bottles with friends (or able to be downsized, with remaining space to reconfigure as a recreation or exercise room). Significant shelved storage space is allocated to the apartment in the basement common areas, where there is also a full washer/dryer.
Located in the heart of the Upper West Side, living here you will have direct access to Central Park, the Museum of Natural History, and a plethora of restaurants and grocery stores. Convenient transportation choices include the 1 and B/C subway lines and various nearby buses.
