Description

Spectacular two bedroom plus home office in mint condition, south facing duplex home with 15-foot ceilings in one of the Upper West Side's finest prewar full-service condominiums. Located on one of the neighborhoods most pristine tree-lined streets and a stone's throw to Central and Riverside Parks, this unique and dramatic apartment encompasses almost 1900ft.² of interior space on two levels. This one of a kind home boasts two to three gracious bedrooms including a large primary suite with en-suite bath and a cavernous living room with 15-foot ceilings. A large kitchen offers an abundance of storage, high-end appliances and separate pantry with washer/dryer hookup. In the hallway entrance there are closets with customized shelving followed by a wonderful sense of openness in a splendid high foyer leading to the extra wide living room. Upstairs on the mezzanine level are two additional grandly proportioned bedrooms with a separate bathroom and abundant closet space overlooking the main floor of the residence. Off one of them currently used as an office is a bonus walk-in storage area designed by California Closets. Located on the Upper West Side’s Gold Coast, The Pythian is steps from Central Park, Lincoln Center, and The Hudson River Greenway. Amenities include a full-time doorman, live-in super, porter, laundry room, kid's playroom, storage and a brand new gym, not to mention one of the lowest monthly common charges and property taxes in its class. 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. Its striking façade and architectural features make it a standout landmark and an Upper West Side historical icon.
