Description

Having lived in a classical brownstone, the current owners spent years looking for a spacious loft-like townhouse Downtown. But everything they found lacked the volume and openness they were seeking. After finding elements they were looking for in a multi-unit townhouse on the Upper West Side, the owners decided to take on a comprehensive gut renovation to transform the property into a one-of-a-kind home. Positioned along one of the Upper West Side’s most architecturally distinctive and historic townhouse blocks, 141 West 95th Street presents a fully reimagined 21-foot-wide residence of scale, sophistication, and creative design.

The home spans approximately 6,000 square feet across five levels, connected by elevator and a custom steel and mahogany staircase.

FOR ENTERTAINING: PARLOR & GARDEN FLOORS
The parlor floor is conceived as a singular entertaining level with ceiling heights approaching 12 feet. Exposed wood beams and select brick detailing provide texture within an otherwise open and fluid volume. A glass and steel vestibule mediates the entry, while the rear of the floor transitions to a more intimate library setting with fireplace and powder room. A sculptural spiral stair provides a secondary connection to the garden level.

At the garden level, daily living is anchored by a fully appointed kitchen with custom millwork, integrated appliances, and a central island. The adjoining dining area within the rear extension opens directly to a landscaped garden of approximately 600 square feet. Designed for both quiet use and entertaining, the outdoor space incorporates an outdoor kitchen, layered seating, and architectural planting. A separate suite with private entrance offers flexibility for guests, staff, or workspace.

FOR REST AND RELAXATION:
The primary suite, occupying the full third floor, is arranged as a private suite within the home. A rear-facing bedroom overlooking the garden is complemented by a charming sitting room. The hotel-style en suite bath is proportioned and detailed with dual vanities, soaking tub, and glass-enclosed shower. An expansive front boutique-like dressing room completes the experience.

The fourth floor provides two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and an auxiliary room suited for study or zen room. Next, the fifth floor is configured for recreation and informal gathering. A large lounge with wet bar opens to a front putting terrace, with a guest bedroom and bath positioned to the rear. Above, a landscaped roof terrace offers open exposures and additional outdoor living.

The cellar level includes a gym or media room, laundry, storage, and mechanical systems. Other comfort and conveniences include multi-zoned air conditioning and a spacious elevator that services all floors except the roof and cellar.
