A Turnkey Masterpiece at The San Remo

Welcome to The San Remo, the legendary Emory Roth–designed landmark that crowns Central Park West with its iconic twin towers. A home of rare distinction, residence 5G captures that timeless spirit, newly reborn through an exceptional, no-expense-spared designer renovation.

This three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home (with the third bedroom currently serving as an office) unfolds from a gracious entrance gallery into a series of generously scaled rooms, enriched with hand-painted walls, and subtle European styling. Open doorways and high ceilings enhance the sense of connection throughout, creating an easy, continuous flow from one beautifully designed space to the next.

The living room feels both expansive and intimate, framed by perfectly restored plaster moldings and original herringbone floors in flawless condition. Bathed in southern and western light, the elegant formal dining room captures breathtaking sunset views over the Upper West Side’s storied townhouses. An adjoining sunroom showcases a museum-worthy 3rd century A.D. mosaic, set into the floor—a true conversation piece and a testament to the apartment’s artistry. Together, these rooms evoke the romance and refinement of Old-World Europe, creating an atmosphere at once opulent and inviting.

The large, eat-in chef’s kitchen combines modern luxury with classic craftsmanship. Outfitted with custom cabinetry, top-of-the-line appliances, radiant heated floors, and a full butler’s pantry, it is designed for both effortless entertaining and everyday comfort. There is a powder room off the kitchen, complete with a full-sized washer and dryer.

Throughout the apartment, hardware and fixtures by P.E. Guerin—the oldest decorative hardware foundry in America—bring a layer of luxury rarely seen today. From door hinges and handles to bathroom fittings, faucets, and accessories, every detail gleams with the hand-finished patina of true craftsmanship.

Behind the beauty, every system has been thoughtfully renewed: all-new electrical wiring, upgraded plumbing, new radiator risers, a three-zone HVAC system, and brand-new windows with skillfully restored original hardware ensure the home functions as flawlessly as it looks.

A symbol of pre-war elegance and architectural distinction, The San Remo remains one of Manhattan’s most revered addresses. Residents enjoy white-glove service, a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and the enduring privacy that defines this landmark co-op. Known for its liberal policies, The San Remo welcomes pied-à-terre ownership and offers a uniquely gracious standard of living—pairing classic grandeur with modern ease.

Residence 5G at The San Remo is more than a home—it is a work of art, a marriage of historic pedigree and modern luxury, presented with an unmatched level of taste and craftsmanship.
