Description

Welcome to 140 West 69th Street #PH7! This immaculate, utterly unique 1-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom penthouse duplex boasts a strikingly designed layout with many extraordinary characteristics in an unbeatable Upper West Side location. Just a block-and-a-half from Central Park, this fully gut renovated apartment features a balcony with breathtaking views of the cityscape, a rare & highly coveted skylight, a custom built-in office nook, a windowed walk-in closet with a vented in-unit W/D, and an abundance of natural light, which graces this special home throughout the day.

The highly desirable footprint of this top floor duplex is ideal for both entertaining and for privacy.

The lower floor contains a custom-designed powder room, which was ingeniously added to the unit, a tastefully constructed open-concept kitchen with Bosch stainless steel appliances and custom cabinetry, and an inviting living area with direct access to the private outdoor space.

The king-sized bedroom on the top floor boasts a renovated en-suite bathroom, a valuable skylight in the center of the room, an enormous walk-in closet with its own window & a vented washer/dryer, and the custom-crafted corner office area.

Additional features of this artfully designed unit include recessed dimmable lighting on the first floor with Lutron switches, a central media space under the stairs with HDMI cabling that runs upstairs to the bedroom and office, two new through-wall AC units, a built-in safe, slim, European-designed radiators, custom pantry and glass storage units, and updated electric. The apartment is also wired for surround sound.

Built at the turn of the century and meticulously maintained, 140 W 69th Street, also known as Lincoln Spencer Apartments, is an elegant co-op on the corner of Broadway and 69th Street, on a landmarked, tree-lined block surrounded by brownstones. It is one of the distinct architectural New York gems constructed during the Beaux Arts Era.

Close to Central Park and Lincoln Center, this dog-friendly building (one pet per unit) offers a full-time doorman and fabulous staff, live-in super, common laundry room (in addition to the in-unit W/D), and permits gifting, pied-a-terre use, co-purchasing and unlimited subletting after five years of ownership, all with board approval.

The equally gorgeous and convenient location is close to the 1/2/3 and B/C trains, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, the Beacon Theater, Columbus Circle, and a plethora of wonderful restaurants, cafes, shops, cultural institutions, and everything else this incomparable neighborhood has to offer.

Don’t miss the opportunity to make this one-of-a-kind apartment your new home!
