Description

Situated mid-block on this distinctive Upper West Side brownstone street, this elegant and sun-flooded 18.7' wide, 4,100sf home with meticulously restored original millwork includes four bedrooms, four full bathrooms and a delightful south facing garden. Spread over four floors with generously proportioned rooms and 10' to 11' ceiling heights, the home benefits from pretty views of trees to the north and south and a rare 43' deep landscaped south-facing garden. This superb offering presents an opportunity to acquire a very livable and impeccably maintained townhouse.

A handsome stoop leads to an entry foyer which greets you on the Parlor level. The Parlor floor with voluminous 11' ceilings is accentuated with an attractive reception room off the entry with wood burning fireplace, bookshelves and floor to ceiling windows. Adjacent the reception room is an elegantly proportioned south facing living room punctuated by a beautiful fireplace mantle centered on the room. This sun flooded Great Room overlooks the garden through over-sized windows which echo the scale of the space. Downstairs, the Garden level is truly the heart of the home with a cheerful sunny chef's kitchen, informal dining area and a media room/den with wood-burning fireplace which provides a cozy contrast to the more formal rooms on the Parlor level. The spacious fully equipped kitchen with center island opens to the landscaped garden with treehouse which offers an inviting space for outdoor entertaining and year-round gardening. A windowed staff room with windowed full bath and a separate street level entrance under the stoop completes the garden level.

Upstairs, the Primary bedroom occupies the entire second floor with a wonderfully vast bedroom suite with wood-burning fireplace, luxuriously outfitted marble bath with double sinks, in-laid marble floors, separate stall shower and a large custom outfitted closet/dressing room. A sunny Library off the primary bedroom includes a wet-bar and terrace which overlooks the garden and townhouses to the south. The third floor is comprised of three bedrooms which share a spacious skylit bathroom with tub and stall shower in-between. The home is complete with multi-zoned central air-conditioning, gorgeous in-laid hardwood floors and meticulous millwork throughout the house, a full basement with abundant storage, a security system and many recent upgrades.

158 West 92nd Street is a comfortable home with wonderful energy and very pretty outlooks both in the front and rear of the house. Originally built in 1899, the home has been renovated and restored through the years while being respectful to preserve its elegant, classical proportions and stunning millwork - qualities shared by every room. The vibrant Upper West Side neighborhood is home to a robust array of restaurants and shopping including Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Equinox Gym and local subway lines 1 2 3 B C.
