Perched atop a historic 1927 building, the Crown Penthouse at 393 West End Avenue redefines grandeur on the Upper West Side. Listed for $15.9 million by Louise Phillips Forbes of Brown Harris Stevens Development Marketing, this 4,230-square-foot full-floor residence is delivered as a designer-ready canvas, with structural and mechanical elements already in place. What makes it even more rare? A massive 3,083-square-foot wraparound terrace offering sweeping city and Hudson River views—making it the largest penthouse currently available in a landmarked UWS building by combined square footage.
Located at 79th Street in the West End-Collegiate Historic District, the penthouse crowns a building reimagined by CetraRuddy Architecture with preserved Collegiate Gothic elements and a full suite of modern amenities. Residents enjoy access to a Great Room, Club Room, fitness studio, secret garden-inspired playroom, gaming lounge, and a private landscaped courtyard. This is more than a listing—it’s a chance to shape an architectural legacy with every square foot.
At first glance, The Urban Treehouse at 165 Charles might read like a design fantasy—but this 3,500-square-foot West Village stunner is very much real. Conceived by No Architecture and nestled within the Richard Meier–designed glass tower, this one-of-a-kind residence invites you to live among sculptural woodwork, soaring 22-foot ceilings, and Hudson River views that spill through floor-to-ceiling glass. The home’s standout feature is its whimsical, functional “treehouse”—a wooden installation that spans the double-height living room with netted seating, spiral stairs, and wings that float midair. It's a space that invites both imagination and practicality, equally suited to family life or creative exploration.
Inside, a unique “matrix plan” fosters circular flow and modular living—think bedrooms that double as offices and lounges by day. The layout includes three bedrooms, four and a half baths, a double kitchen setup, and a tucked-away family room, all designed for flexibility and connection. Beyond the treehouse, residents enjoy amenities like a gym, pool, and screening room, plus a 24-hour doorman and privacy-enhancing architecture. There’s also the option to purchase a 700-square-foot studio apartment next door, along with a private wine cellar and large storage unit—just in case your dreams (or guests) need more room to grow.
With its storied address and Emery Roth pedigree, The Beresford is synonymous with Upper West Side elegance. Now, Apartment 12H offers a chance to live inside this iconic prewar landmark without the usual sky-high price tag. Priced under $5 million, this sun-filled six-room residence spans over 2,000 square feet and features a semi-private landing, oversized rooms, and those coveted Beresford casement windows framing both north and south exposures.
The layout includes a grand living room with wood-burning fireplace, an equally impressive formal dining room, two large bedrooms with en-suite baths, and a windowed kitchen with adjacent staff room—perfect for a flexible third bedroom or office. While the kitchen awaits your personal vision, the bones are exceptional, with soaring ceilings, original details, and generous storage throughout. Residents enjoy three attended lobbies, a fitness center, bike room, and more. Situated directly across from Central Park and near the Museum of Natural History, 12H is the kind of classic co-op that rarely comes around—especially at this price point.
