37 W 94th Street New York, NY 10025

Steps from Central Park, the turnkey townhouse at 37 West 94th Street is a testament to historic preservation and chic, modern luxury. Spanning 5,000 square feet, the grand 19th-century scale of this 1886 Queen Anne masterpiece, designed by W. Holman Smith and developed by the pioneering Jessie Reynolds, endures. Anchored by herringbone and wide-plank white oak flooring, the four-bedroom, five-bathroom home features six fireplaces, exceptional artisan woodwork, and a 700-square-foot garden oasis.

Garden Level

The flawlessly executed kitchen is equipped with appliances by Wolf and Miele. Beyond a chef's dream, its 15-foot-long Calacatta Viola and wood island was designed to read as furniture with daily livability top of mind, long enough for everyone to have a seat. Cooking shares a space with conversation. An adjoining butler's pantry features a built-in Miele coffee maker, while French doors open the space to a lushly landscaped, private garden perfect for quiet relaxation or outdoor gatherings. Completing this level, a fourth bedroom suite is discreetly tucked away to provide private guest quarters, while a second entrance beneath the stoop adds convenience and extra storage.

Parlor Level

The carved entry doors and brass hardware are original, and the original metal plaque still bears the date 1886. The richly layered vestibule lined in House of Hackney's Artemis wallpaper leads to a sun-drenched open living room. This level showcases artisan-carved moldings, an impeccably restored grand staircase, and marble fireplace surrounds under soaring 11-foot ceilings. The Fibonacci Grand Chandelier beneath an ornate plaster medallion exemplifies the beautifully balanced juxtaposition between old-world and contemporary elements. The dining room, wrapped in Sandberg's Juni botanical wallpaper framed by crisp white paneling, is flanked by a cupboard-lined wet bar-perfectly setting the scene for unforgettable entertaining.

Third Floor

The third floor is dedicated to a grand primary suite sanctuary. This romantic retreat features plaster moldings, two fireplaces, a generously proportioned sitting room, and a windowed bathroom. Soft, diffused light from a Workstead pendant above the bed and a Ralph Lauren pendant in the sitting room guides the transition between spaces. The perspective from the clear-glass encased snuggery overlooking the peaceful garden frames a quintessentially New York view of leafy treetops and neighboring townhouses, providing a striking contrast to the moody chamber.

Fourth Floor

Two spacious bedroom suites bathed in natural light anchor the fourth floor. A fully equipped laundry room with an LG washer/dryer rounds out this level, ensuring the home is as functional as it is grand.

Cellar Level

Offering ultimate lifestyle flexibility, the cellar level features a media and recreation room. The space is complemented by a full bathroom, abundant storage, and advanced mechanical systems.
