Property Description

Across the street from the Museum of Natural History and Central Park, this elegant 1-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom home is situated in the historic Beaux-Arts Hayden House, on one of the most sought-after blocks on the Upper West Side. The apartment features classic prewar details, including intricate moldings, original herringbone floors, and soaring 11-foot ceilings throughout.

The entry foyer welcomes guests into a rare, light-filled grand entertaining room with an original fireplace, now decorative, and a dramatic window boasting unobstructed southern views overlooking the Rose Planetarium, Theodore Roosevelt Park, and Central Park. The windowed kitchen, with granite countertops and ample storage, has everything necessary for cooking enthusiasts and is perfect for hosting social events. The guest bathroom, located along the hallway toward the bedroom suite, is in wonderful condition and features a coveted original mid-century sink and toilet.

The owner renovated the space to feature minimal Lutron dimming light switches, state-of-the-art smart window shades by J. Geiger, and five spacious, gut-renovated storage closets designed by California Closets.

The bedroom is pin-drop quiet, and the his-and-her closets on either side of the bed area were both redesigned to optimize space. The en-suite main bathroom, complete with a window and soaking tub, also features original mid-century fixtures.

This apartment is a rare find, with its soaring ceilings, southern exposures, and unusually generous storage spaces. It also transfers with a private storage bin in the basement.

Built in 1908, the building is a historic Beaux-Arts landmark, with a recently refurbished limestone facade and an exquisitely renovated, elegant marble lobby. Converted to a co-op in 1976, the building has a flexible policy toward pied-à-terre use, short-term rentals, guarantors, co-purchasing, gifting, trust purchases, and pets, pending board approval. Amenities include a part-time doorman, live-in superintendent, bike room, storage room, and laundry room. Some photos are virtually staged.
