PRIVATE GARDENED TERRACE IN PRIME PRE-WAR CONDO BY CENTRAL PARK

If you dream of a private, gardened terrace — your own sweet back-yard — in a discerning address with a pre-war soul and a fresh, fantastic finish, then dream no more. Here is your well-scaled, renovated condo garden residence — a feel-good, substantial home with high ceilings and a big layout that works. This is a perfect park-side home where you can stretch out and enjoy peaceful, treetop, architectural views onto a treasured townhouse block by Central Park.

With a prime position at parlor level at the famed Olcott — one of Manhattan’s most coveted, full-service, pre-war condominiums — this easy-to-love, terraced residence is a standout. Supremely located half a block from Central Park, this winsome, well-scaled, wonderfully upgraded garden home lives largely and stands out for all the best reasons.

A welcoming gallery hall greets you, directing you immediately to this home’s signature green space — your own personal gardened terrace with Southern and Western exposures. This bonus al fresco living space is the perfect spot for morning coffee, quiet outdoor meals, and evening toasts.

Looking onto the terrace is a private office space. Down the gallery hall, the main living room overlooks the treetops on picturesque 73rd Street — a beautiful, leafy stretch anchored by historical townhouses and glorious Central Park. With a sizable dining area, and an open kitchen (with a stone-capped dining bar, premium appliances, and ample counters/cabinetry), plus a separate in-home laundry room, this home’s big-room flow allows for easy entertaining and good living.

Both big bedrooms are graciously scaled, and gracefully separate from one another. This common-sense layout works well with this home’s elegant modern finishes, giving this stylish residence an easy-to-love character uniquely its own. The primary bedroom overlooks the treetops, boasts a big, fully designed walk-in closet, and offers an en suite marble bath with dual sinks and a step-in shower. The grand guest bedroom suite enjoys a view onto the gardened terrace. With a leafy backdrop and big closets
