135 West 70th Street, Residence 1D
Townhouse spirit. Condo convenience.
 
Welcome to Residence 1D - a triple-height, triple-tiered, triple-treat of Upper West Side living.
 
Spread across three dramatic levels and nearly 1,400 square feet, this rare home delivers soaring scale, flexible spaces, and not one - but TWO private outdoor sanctuaries. It's the city dream we whisper about and occasionally find.
 
On the entry level, open-plan living flows to your first private terrace - the perfect perch for morning coffee or evening unwinding. This space is quiet, tranquil and surrounded by trees, an inviting respite from the hustle and bustle of NYC. A stylish kitchen with abundant counter space and powder room complete this entertaining floor.
 
Ascend to your tranquil top level - home to a king sized primary suite with generous closets, 4 in total, ensuite bath, and your second private outdoor haven. A bonus and separate office nook offers the ideal work-from-home command center.
 
But the showstopper?
 
A studio-sized recreation level with 12-foot ceilings - a voluminous, versatile space that invites imagination. Media room? Gym? Creative studio? Guest suite? Yes. With its own bath and private entry, this flexible floor bends to your life - not the other way around. Washer and dryers are permitted with board approval although the building laundry room is right outside this lower level.
 
All this in a full-service condominium on a leafy West 70s block, surrounded by the best of the Upper West Side: Central Park, Lincoln Center, Metropolitan Opera, David Geffen Hall, Walter Reade Theatre and Columbus Circle. Don't miss some of our favorite local establishments; Tavern on the Green, Jean-Georges, The Lincoln, Levain Bakery, Solid State coffee and the Mermaid Inn. Equinox, OrangeTheory, NY Sports Club, Barry's, SLT, SolidCore, CorePower Yoga and many other fitness studios are within a 5-minute walk. Grocers abound, with Fairway, Trader Joes, Morton Williams and Wegman's (opening soon!) all within 5 blocks. Conveniently located near the 1/2/3/B/C and the 72nd and 66th Street cross town buses.
