Set across seven floors with twelve-foot-high ceilings, this Upper West Side townhouse is palatial by New York standards. The open kitchen with its Wolf and Miele appliances make light work of cooking. Serve up your creations in the formal dining room followed by digestifs from the wet bar enjoyed around the fire pit in your private garden. Spend mornings on the north-facing terraces, lapping up every second of the sunrise emerging above those brownstone rooftops. After a workout in your basement’s gym, soothe your weary muscles in the soaking tub—but take your time, with the city right on your doorstep there’s no need to rush. When you are ready to explore, Central Park is just around the corner, the Natural History Museum only a ten-minute walk away and you’re in touching distance of Manhattan’s best food spots. Once the day draws to a close, head home to that opulent living room with a bottle of red from the wine cellar, reflecting on another unforgettable day in NYC.
