48-50 W 69th St, New York, NY 10023

A property without equal: the most significant single-family townhouse ever offered for sale on the Upper West Side. Just off of Central Park, 48-50 West 69th Street is a residence that evokes a kind of scale, drama, and attention to detail not found since the Gilded Age, when palatial homes lined the neighborhood’s avenues and preceded today’s apartment buildings. Years of careful planning by Fradkin & McAlpin Architects and MDesign London has resulted in a truly extraordinary home spanning 41.5 feet wide and 19,600 square feet of interior space, with multiple oversized outdoor entertaining areas throughout. A post-tensioned limestone floating staircase is the architectural through-line that connects all eight levels and leads you to the home’s innumerable features. The parlor level boasts a 38-foot wide, double height living room with 24-foot ceilings and dual opposing wood-burning fireplaces, as well as a window-wrapped dining room with double-height sitting area and skylight. The garden level is anchored by an incredible indoor/outdoor health and wellness space including a 55-foot indoor lap pool, jacuzzi, fitness center and yoga space, all wrapped in full-height sliding glass walls which open to the tranquil south-facing garden, making a truly one-of-a-kind experience. The full floor primary suite measures over 2,000 square feet with a wood burning fireplace, dual baths and dressing rooms, private study, and an expansive south-facing terrace off the bed chamber. The residence’s penthouse lounge is the sun-flooded jewel box atop the home, with a wraparound terrace boasting southern views onto Billionaire’s Row, an oversized wet bar, and an immense skylight. Multiple guest bedroom suites, staff space and ample amenity spaces are all serviced by a high-speed commercial-grade elevator. Rarely have homes of this prominence been created, and even fewer have ever become available for sale. 48-50 West 69th Street stands as the modern-day epitome of the city’s grandest historic residences, ushering in a new chapter in the story of the neighborhood’s single-family properties for one discerning purchaser.
