Lincoln Square-Columbus Circle Neighborhood

Situated at the crossroads of culture and commerce, Lincoln Square offers an unrivaled urban experience. Residents are steps away from the world-class performances at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, including the Metropolitan Opera and the New York Philharmonic. The neighborhood is a culinary destination, home to Michelin-starred dining and the gourmet offerings of Whole Foods at Columbus Circle. With Central Park as your front yard and the Riverside Park just a short stroll to the west, the area seamlessly blends high-energy city life with tranquil green escapes.

This duplex is more than a home; it is a piece of New York history, offering a sophisticated lifestyle in one of Central Park West's most recognizable silhouettes.
