Take a step back into old New York! Built in 1900 at the very end of the Gilded Age, and during the waning years of the Victorian era, this parlor floor home transcends time. 25 West 71st Street was originally built as a single-family home, for what would have been an upper-class family, just as the 19th century turned clock to the 20th. Now home to four units, Apartment 1R occupies the entire parlor floor. The parlor floors of the era enjoyed the highest ceilings and most elaborate detail putting the owner's best foot forward as they welcomed guests.
Upon entering what today would be viewed as the 'great room', it's easy to lose focus as your eye is overwhelmed by the volume of the space and all its rich detail. 12' ceilings are topped by an oak beamed coffered ceiling with large korbel's along the perimeter. Herringbone floors, 8' doors, ornate casing, Tudor style oak paneled walls and a grand encaustic tile trimmed fireplace. This large room serves as both living and dining.
A galley kitchen is just off the main room as is a home office and second bedroom with both enjoying the greenery of a rear garden view. To the front of the apartment, you find a sizeable south facing master bedroom whose 7' tall windows, with original shutters, frame a street view of West 71st Street. It's easy to imagine looking out to a horse drawn carriage or one of the earliest hand crank automobiles waiting outside your door. The home enjoys central AC.
The location is exceptional. In addition to being just a few steps from entering Central Park, you are just around the corner from the extensive line-up of shops on West 72nd Street and Columbus Avenue. For the arts you are just a stroll to Lincoln Center and all it has to offer. All in all, a magical apartment in the finest of locations.
Showings to begin Monday 1/20 with the first Open House on Sunday 1/26.
