HIGH CEILINGS

The late Nineteenth Century architects of Manhattan townhouses thought 11 to 13 foot parlor floor ceiling heights were about right. In contrast, the owners of 143 West 94th Street in their 2019 renovation thought 17' and 20' ceilings better reflected their creative family whims and made more of a statement. The owners were right and when you tour this contemporary home you too will be pleased and perhaps awed by the light and air they created.

Configured as 5 bedrooms with 4.5 baths, this 4 story 20' wide recently renovated home also has a finished cellar. The property is outside of the UWS Landmark District and with an FAR of 3.44 the building can be enlarged to nearly 7,000 sq. ft. (confirm with your architect).

This house is part of a surviving row of historic townhouses on West 94th and West 95th Streets. Surprisingly the rear yards of the houses to the north on West 95th Street and the abutting houses on West 94th have had no intrusive rear extensions added which makes the expanse of these rear yards one of the most open and sunfilled oasis you will find in Manhattan.

The home is located within easy distance of several top UWS private schools: Columbia Grammar on West 94th, Trinity on West 91st, Dwight on West 89th, Studio School on West 95th, and Montessori on West 96th. The subways 1, 2, 3 and B,C are less than 2 blocks walk. Uptown and downtown buses are half a block.

LAYOUT:

Garden
Level- Enter under the stone stoop into the Eat in Kitchen, fixtured with Sub Zero fridge, Bertazzoni 4 burner range, Wolf microwave, Miele dishwasher. Stainless steel countertops combine with Quartzite counters to provide crisp and clean workspace for the chef. Custom cabinets by Miralis provide enormous kitchen storage. This entire level has floor heating by a Hydronic hot water sytem. There is a convenient powder room on this level.

Adjacent to the Kitchen is the Dining Room with 20' ceiling and features a wall of glass overlooking the 40' deep sun-filled lushly planted Garden. The Garden features a stone and plant bordered waterfall which feeds a live Koi pond.

Parlor
Level-Enter at the top of the home's brownstone stoop and you are in the loft-like 31' deep double Living Room. The 11' ceiling height is accented by the original plaster ceiling moldings. Each room has a fireplace with elaborate stone mantle. Adding to the beauty of this floor is the dramatic open floor cut-out giving you a 20' wall of glass and the overlook of the Dining Room and Garden below.

Third Floor
Three bedrooms, plenty of closets. The larger bedroom 17' x 19' comes with an ensuite bath and a separate hall bath services the other 2 bedrooms on this floor.

Fourth Floor
The most impressive primary bedroom is cubic: 19' x 18' with a 17' cathedral ceiling. The high ceiling is enhanced by the sun filled south facing 7' tall windows. A period fireplace grounds this beautiful master. Of course there is an en suite bath and dressing room. To the rear of this floor is another large bedroom 19' x 18' which has an ensuite bath. This bedroom overlooks the green oasis collection of private planted and treed backyards between West 94th and West 95th.

Roof
The 600 sq ft open roof space beckons one to spend leisure time taking in the views of the Upper West Side and the rising or setting sun.

Cellar
The 600 sq. ft. finished cellar is suitable for a gym, storage or wine room. There is a hookup for your laundry system here and a large built in combination wall safe for your valuables . The multi zone gas heating and cooling systems are also located here.
