45 West 70th Street

Impeccably renovated, this historic 20-foot-wide brownstone is a rare find on the Upper West Side, steps from Lincoln Center. Behind an iconic façade, its generous turnkey interiors—measuring 8,500 square feet, with a back wall four feet deeper than standard—are filled with light and a stylish blend of classic details and modern conveniences. In addition to a graceful skylit stairway, an elevator connects each of the six levels.

An enviable basement with high ceilings offers a gym, an underground wine cellar, and a refreshing 33-foot-long, six-foot-deep swimming pool and an oversized spa. Numerous living areas allow for versatility and effortless entertaining. The parlor level has soaring ceilings and features an airy dining space, a sophisticated living room with an eye-catching ethanol-fueled fireplace, and a chic bar alcove with velvet-upholstered seating and mirror-backed glass shelving. The heart of the home is the bright, inviting kitchen, located on the double-width garden level.

It features a built-in dining banquette, a large island, plentiful cabinet and counter space, a double stainless-steel range, and a wall of glass opening to a desirable rear garden that is fenced for privacy and offers a built-in wood and gas fireplace and grill area. The six restful bedrooms are flooded with light and feature timeless moldings, bay windows, hardwood floors, and fireplaces. The four baths and two powder rooms are stylishly appointed with sleek modern fixtures—including bidets—as well as striking tile and stone finishes. Serene and spacious, the owner's bedroom boasts a wall of windows and French doors opening to a private terrace enjoying a nearly panoramic view of the city skyline. The suite also includes a well-outfitted walk-in closet and dazzling marble-clad bath with a large glass-enclosed shower, a soaking tub, and a dual-sink vanity. Amenities include 11-zone central air conditioning, whole-house radiant heating with forced-air backup, smart home wiring, three air exchanges, and a front patio snow-melting system.

The elevator accesses the roof, which is ideal for the addition of a stunning deck or a penthouse.
