120 East 29th Street, a NoMad garden triplex residence, #1/2B, unfolds less like a typical apartment and more like a quiet, unexpected home within the city. A triplex in NoMad, yes, but more precisely, a home that moves beyond the usual confines of Manhattan living, offering not just impressive square footage, but a space that immediately evokes the feeling of townhouse living within a doorman condo.

You enter through a proper foyer, a subtle but meaningful transition before the home reveals itself. Beyond it, the living and dining room opens into an almost 500 square foot space, spanning over twenty feet in both directions. This wide, open living area is complemented by a 700+ square foot irrigated, gas grill-equipped garden, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. The entire property faces south with unobstructed exposure, filling both the interior and garden with an abundance of natural light.

The kitchen sits just off this central room, efficiently designed to complement the space. It supports daily use with ease while remaining open and connected to the flow of the home, and, given its position, does not take away from the usable living room square footage.

Upstairs, the layout becomes more private. The primary bedroom, with its dressing area and walk-in closet, feels tucked away from the main level. A second bedroom shares this floor, creating a clear separation between living and sleeping areas, both facing south with ample sunlight and an elevated view of the home's private outdoor space.

Below, the home adds another layer of flexibility. A generous lower level can serve as a media room, home office, gym, playroom, or guest space, adapting easily as lifestyle needs evolve.

There are practical features throughout, including a washer and dryer, abundant storage, and a well-run building with knowledgeable and familiar staff, ensuring a well-maintained and cared-for property.

Located just moments from Madison Square Park and surrounded by the best of NoMad's restaurants, cafes, and shopping, Residence #1/2B offers something increasingly difficult to find in Manhattan: space, privacy, and versatility within a central location.
