Description

Welcome to Unit 4M, a spacious 876-square-foot residence nestled within The Pythian, one of the Upper West Side’s most architecturally distinctive buildings. Built in 1926 and converted to condominiums in 1983, The Pythian blends historic charm with modern living. Designed by David Gura, the building’s striking facade features intricate polychrome terra cotta detailing, while the grand lobby showcases timeless Egyptian-inspired decor with polished black marble and a double-height space. Unit 4M offers the unique advantage of condominium ownership in a neighborhood primarily known for co-ops.

This expansive home boasts generously proportioned rooms, providing ample living and entertaining space. The in-unit washer and dryer add a layer of convenience that complements the home’s modern updates, while the charm of pre-war design remains intact. Perfectly located near Central Park, Lincoln Center, and the best dining and shopping the Upper West Side has to offer, this rare condo is not to be missed. Special assessment of $131.65.
