Penthouse Duplex With Private Roof Terrace Enchanting from the very first moment, this penthouse duplex is perched atop a historic 1890s brownstone co-op, offering a rare blend of architectural character and modern livability. Even before entering, the original woodwork and preserved facade signal that this is a home of… Read More true distinction. Inside, the sense of scale and charm is immediate. Soaring 12+ foot ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and oversized wood-encased windows with original shutters create a warm, light-filled living space. Three expansive north-facing windows pour in natural light throughout the day, while a wood-burning fireplace anchors the room with a sense of comfort and timeless elegance. Thoughtfully designed loft storage above the kitchen adds both function and character. The home's layout is both practical and inviting. A spacious, separate kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher, gas stove, and an oversized pantry-perfectly suited for modern living. A full bath and an over-sized closet complete the main level. Upstairs, the bedroom and half bath offer a true sense of retreat. High ceilings, north and south exposures, and large windows invite cross breezes and soft, natural light throughout the day. A wall of closets provides generous storage, while the seamless connection to a private outdoor terrace creates an indoor-outdoor lifestyle that feels both peaceful and elevated. The expansive rooftop terrace is a true highlight-an intimate escape in the sky where you can unwind, entertain, and take in sweeping views of the New York City skyline. It's a setting that feels tranquil, yet deeply connected to the energy of the city. The building permits in-unit washer and dryer installation with board approval, and the apartment offers ample space to accommodate it. Additional amenities include basement storage and a laundry room. (Sorry, no dogs-cats are welcome.)Located in an 1890's brownstone on one of the Upper West Side's most picturesque tree-lined blocks, the co-op features low monthly maintenance and allows subletting and pied-à-terres. Just moments from Central Park, American Museum of Natural History, and the vibrant dining and shopping corridors of Amsterdam and Columbus Avenues, the location offers an exceptional lifestyle. Nearby access to the New York City Subway (B/C at 81st Street and 1 train at 79th Street) and the M79 crosstown bus ensures seamless connectivity. Set within a classic Neo-Grec brownstone, this one-of-a-kind residence embodies the charm, history, and enduring appeal that define Upper West Side living-an enchanting home that feels both rooted in the past and perfectly suited for today.
