Among the Upper West Side’s grand, pre-war conversions, 720 West End Avenue stands out as a masterclass in architectural revival—and Residence 8B may just be its crown jewel. Listed at $3,550,000, this elegant two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence balances timeless charm with modern luxury, thanks to acclaimed designer Thomas Juul-Hansen. The layout is classic, the proportions generous, and the palette quietly opulent. Think honed Namibia Rose marble, custom Boffi Italian kitchen cabinetry in white oak, and appliances by Sub-Zero and Wolf. With serene river views over tree-lined West End Avenue, this 8th-floor home feels like a private oasis in one of the city's most storied neighborhoods. And it’s not just good-looking—it's part of one of Manhattan’s best-performing new developments, with over $11 million in contracts signed in a single week this fall.
Step off a semi-private elevator landing into a gracious, 28 foot long entry gallery with a walk-in closet, perfect for displaying art or a great addition to your living space! The gallery leads to the palatial living room, complete with a wood burning fireplace and tranquil views of the historic townhouses and trees on 82nd street. On the other side of the gallery is the regal dining room, which is currently set up as both a den and a dining room. The large windowed kitchen features restored, original St. Charles metal cabinets, a signature of Emery Roth, and plenty of storage space and room to create a seating area. Adjacent to the kitchen is a sizable staff room with a full bathroom. Represented by Lisa K. Lippman / Brown Harris Stevens.
Tucked away in Manhattan’s Upper East Side is a garden so hidden, even some of the city's most pedigreed residents don’t know it exists. And now, for $11.95 million, you can own one of only 12 homes with coveted key access. Welcome to 157 East 65th Street—a five-story, 6,000-square-foot corner townhouse with its own elevator and a lush secret: Jones Wood Gardens. Originally designed in 1858 and transformed into a private green retreat in 1919, the garden is shared by a handful of neighbors (Robert A.M. Stern’s home overlooks it, but even he doesn’t hold a key). Inside the historic residence, once owned by philosopher John Dewey, original architectural details whisper of the past, while modern updates bring thoughtful ease to every floor. With legacy charm, historic roots, and access to one of the most exclusive gardens in New York City, this listing isn’t just rare—it’s mythic.
