Description

Built in 1900 on land once owned by Edward Clark—visionary developer of The Dakota—this beautifully renovated elevator brownstone has been reimagined by the award-winning team at Murdock Solon Architects. The result is a perfect balance of classic architecture and modern design, featuring a hydraulic elevator, a Crestron smart home system, radiant heated floors, and 10-zone heating and cooling, all executed with remarkable precision and care.

The entry vestibule leads past a full bedroom suite—ideal for guests or a home office—and a powder room to a spacious 27-foot-plus great room. Large glass doors open to a landscaped, irrigated 550-square-foot south-facing garden, enclosed by towering bamboo for year-round privacy.

A sweeping curved staircase—or the elevator—brings you to the parlor level, where 11’4” ceilings create a striking sense of space. The north-facing living room centers around a fireplace, while the south end hosts a chef’s kitchen with custom cabinetry, a La Cornue range, Thermador refrigerator, and dual Miele dishwashers. An adjoining dining area with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooks the garden, and a door leads to a 130-square-foot deck with stairs down to the yard.

The full-floor primary suite includes an expansive 25-foot bedroom, a 20-foot walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired marble bath with a soaking tub, oversized shower, and book-matched stone finishes. Two generous bedroom suites with private baths make up the next level, with the south bedroom opening to a 150-square-foot terrace. A laundry room with full-size washer/dryer and sink adds convenience.

The fourth floor offers two additional bedrooms—one en-suite and one served by a nearby full bath—each with distinctive design elements. The southern bedroom features a Juliette balcony. Above, the penthouse level includes a flexible room with a wet bar, half bath, terrace, and direct elevator access, perfect for use as a lounge, office, or guest suite.

The fully finished cellar provides ample storage and supplemental laundry facilities, offering functionality that complements the home’s thoughtful design. Listing courtesy of Leslie J Garfield & Co Inc ...
