Once upon a time, nestled within a quaint neighborhood, stood a duplex home that whispered tales of elegance and comfort. Its exterior, adorned with blooming flowers and a charming porch, beckoned passersby to explore the wonders within.As the front door swung open, guests were greeted by a symphony of luxury and functionality. Multi-zone Central Air Conditioning hummed softly, ensuring each room was the perfect temperature year-round. The floors, custom-crafted with care, guided visitors through the home like stepping stones on a path of opulence.Bespoke lighting danced across the walls, casting enchanting shadows that seemed to tell stories of their own. In the heart of the home, a gourmet eat-in kitchen awaited, boasting not one, but two Sub Zero refrigerators, a gas Wolf oven and range, Miele Electric Oven and Miele Microwave where culinary dreams are brought to life with ease.Venturing further, guests discover a sanctuary of rest and rejuvenation-the fabulous Primary Suite with adjacent Office/Den/Closet. Here, a grand walk-in closet stood guard over a lavish bathroom, complete with dual sinks, a separate shower, and a deep soaking tub, inviting weary souls to unwind and indulge in luxury.But the magic didn't end there. With five bedrooms, an office, and even a den, there was space aplenty for anyone to carve out their own corner of paradise. And for gatherings and celebrations, the extra-large living room and dining room played host to laughter and memories that would last a lifetime.As the sun set on another day, the duplex home stood as a testament to the beauty of transformation and the power of creating spaces where dreams could thrive. And for those fortunate enough to call it home, each day brought new chapters of joy, comfort, and endless possibility.Built in 1928 and designed by the famed architect Rosario Candela, 161 West 75th Street is a full service building complete with a full-time doorman and live-in super, a bike room, storage and a roof garden as well as a lobby-level patio.
