CONTEMPORARY, CHIC AND COMFORTABLE... THE IDEAL FAMILY TOWNHOUSE This gorgeous, sunny 20-foot wide brownstone with stoop and bay window in front, and rear glass faade, is on West 76th Street, arguably the best West Side tree-lined park block, steps from Central Park. Completely gut-renovated under the direction of brilliant designer Lucien Rees Roberts, there are five stories plus basement, five to seven bedrooms, two terraces, a roof terrace, and a landscaped garden with fire pit and basketball hoop. In addition, there is a beautifully renovated two bedroom apartment with separate access, a great option for guests, family, staff, home office or income production. A picture window wall system ensures that every floor is bathed in light throughout the day. Features such as six-inch bleached white oak floors, an eight-zone Sonos system, a six-zone HVAC, four washers and three dryers, and black locust paneling in the garden are just several of the numerous details that place this townhome in a league of its own.
