A genuine rarity these days, this incredible two bedroom, two bathroom loft duplex embodies classic New York City living in a historic artist loft setting. Beautifully designed approximately 1,400 sq.ft. with soaring ceiling heights up to 16’ feet, this prewar superstar presents a unique opportunity to own a classic architectural gem on a coveted block on the Upper West Side. Upon entering, your eye immediately travels across the great room to the solarium-style windows that allow natural light to pour into the entire home.

The double height living room boasts southern city views and eastern Central Park views, and opens onto a lovely private terrace. Currently flowing seamlessly from the great room, an adjacent, windowed room can be re-appropriated as a home office or a bedroom, with a full ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet. Boasting top-of-the-line, stainless steel appliances like SubZero, Amana and Bosch, the kitchen features granite countertops and custom cabinetry. Tucked next to the entry foyer, a discreet staircase leads you up to the private quarters.

The primary suite overlooks the great room below, benefiting from the floor to ceiling windows, and features a wall of closets. The windowed ensuite bathroom looks east over the city toward Central Park and features marble countertops and a large glassed-in shower/bathtub. A study/media room sits adjacent and could easily be repurposed as a guest bedroom. Abundant storage and closet space, recessed lighting and Honeywell-controlled, dual-zone A/C round out the amenities in this unequaled gem of a home. Built in 1927 by Thomas W. Lamb and converted to luxury condominium in 1983, The Pythian is an Upper West Side architectural icon.

Boasting a beautifully restored façade and standing eleven stories, it also features 24-hour doorman, a live-in super, and a newly renovated fitness center. A landmark building, its notable residents have included Lady Gaga and Luciano Pavarotti. Its enviable Upper West Side location provides easy access to Central Park, Lincoln Center, the Museum of Natural History, as well as world-class restaurants, first-rate shopping and multiple public transportation options.
