Description

Exquisite Central Park Duplex in a Neo-Georgian Mansion with Private Landscaped Garden

Step back in time at 18 WEST 74TH STREET, a rare 1904 Upper West Side residence. Set within a distinguished 25-foot-wide neo-Georgian mansion on one of Central Park's most coveted blocks, this exceptional duplex offers timeless elegance and refined living.

One enters the residence through the grand, richly appointed lobby, arriving at the parlor level where 14-foot ceilings, mahogany beam details, and beautifully carved wood mantels frame three fireplaces. In pristine condition, this gracious floor features a sun-filled living room, a formal dining room or library, and a thoughtfully designed kitchen with an adjacent powder room.

A sculptural wooden staircase leads to the lower level, where two serene bedrooms each feature beautifully appointed en-suite baths with radiant heated floors, premium fixtures, and abundant storage. The primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a fireplace, generous closet space, and direct access to the stunning private garden. An elegant entrance to the garden is also positioned at the base of the staircase.

Steeped in history, the magnificent landscaped garden was designed by renowned architect and designer Charles Warren and was featured in Pocket Gardens by James Grayson Trulove. This rare outdoor sanctuary includes cast-iron ornamental City Seals designed by sculptor Rene P. Chamberlain, originally mounted along the old outer walls of the West Side Highway. Tranquil and beautifully composed, it is an extraordinary setting for entertaining or quiet retreat.

Additional highlights include hardwood floors throughout, through-wall air conditioning in every room, an in-unit washer/dryer, abundant closets, and exceptional storage. Private storage coveys with the home too.

Original details-including a grand staircase and private elevator-reflect its historic past, now reimagined as a discreet boutique coop in prime location, right at Central Park and the neighborhood's finest dining, cultural attractions and shops.
