Overview of The Hermitage at 41 West 72nd Street

The Hermitage is a 16 story pre-war condominium at 41 West 72nd Street on the Upper West Side, built in 1928 and converted to condominiums in 2001. The 125 unit beige brick building sits mid-block between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue, down the block from the Dakota, and carries Byzantine style façade details that distinguish it from its neighbors.

Apartments commonly feature beamed ceilings, hardwood floors in herringbone patterns, windowed kitchens, and generous closet space. South facing units are well represented and tend to be bright. One bedroom layouts run approximately 638 to 768 square feet; two bedroom units reach around 1,000 square feet. Many have been renovated with updated kitchens featuring stainless steel appliances and granite or quartz countertops, along with updated bathrooms. One penthouse stands out with a 700 plus square foot private terrace and panoramic views of the Upper West Side.

The building has a 24 hour doorman, a live-in superintendent, central laundry, a bike room, resident storage, central AC, and a roof deck. Select units have in-unit washer/dryer. The condominium permits pets and pied-à-terre ownership, and the presence of some rent stabilized units makes it of interest to investors as well.

West 72nd Street is one of the Upper West Side's most central blocks, with Central Park a short walk to the west and Lincoln Center a few blocks south. The 1, 2, and 3 trains stop at 72nd Street and Broadway; the B and C trains stop at 72nd Street and Central Park West.

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "gracious" 1928 pre-war conversion on the Upper West Side offers "classic Manhattan living" with full-time doorman service in a "prime" location between Columbus and Central Park West. The 16-story mid-rise building features 128 residences with "flexible living arrangements" thanks to its pied-a-terre and subletting policies, while the "convenient" location puts residents steps from numerous dining options. Though "basic" in amenities with just a laundry room, the building's pre-war charm and "pet-friendly" policy make it a "solid choice" for Upper West Side living.
