On a gorgeous brownstone-lined street on the Upper West Side, this garden-floor co-op at 50 West 70th Street is less than a block from Central Park. In case you don’t even want to venture that far, this $2.565 million home has a lovely landscaped private garden just beyond a wall of sliding glass doors. Technically a duplex, with several possibilities for bedrooms, this renovated co-op occupies the ground floor and the floor below in a 23-foot-wide 1893 townhouse. The renovation has incorporated well-considered finishings throughout, and an open layout gives it a loft-like feel. The large lower level means there’s lots of space to use for whatever you need most.
The home’s open living space is framed by wide plank oak hardwood floors and exposed brick. Cooled in summer by through-wall AC units, there’s a wood-burning fireplace for cozy winter evenings. The focus of the garden floor is the large rear wall of windows that opens onto the south-facing private garden.
A thoroughly modern kitchen features a six-burner Wolf gas range with vented hood and pot filler faucet, Bosch dishwasher and Subzero fridge, wet bar, and ice maker. A spacious dining area is an invitation to step out into the garden for alfresco dinners.
The home’s largest bedroom has an ensuite bath with double sinks, a walk-in closet, a double shower stall, and a free-standing soaking tub. A small nursery nook adjacent to this bedroom could serve as a home office. A second bedroom on this floor faces the garden and gets that south-facing sunlight.
On the lower floor, framed by charming cellar archways and arched doors, is an open recreation space, a full bath, and a separate private room that could serve as a closet or office. The apartment also has plentiful storage space, a washer/dryer, a Sonos surround sound system, a flat-screen hidden TV closet, an ADT alarm system, and a virtual doorman.
