A Rare Offering: Grand Duplex Residence with Terrace at The Olcott — Steps from Central Park

Welcome to a truly exceptional residence at The Olcott, one of the Upper West Side’s most distinguished full-service pre-war condominiums. Just moments from Central Park, this meticulously crafted 4,176 square foot duplex offers the rare combination of expansive interior space, luxurious finishes, a nearly 800 SF private terrace, and the privacy and functionality of a townhouse — all within the comfort and security of a white-glove condominium.

Thoughtfully Designed for Elegant Living and Entertaining

This home was custom-built from raw space during The Olcott’s celebrated conversion, resulting in a one-of-a-kind layout with every modern convenience. Enter on the upper level into a grand entry gallery that leads to a dramatic oversized living room with a gas fireplace, a spacious dining room, and a sunlit, windowed eat-in chef’s kitchen outfitted with custom Italian cabinetry, premium appliances, and abundant pantry storage. Radiant heated limestone floors span the entire entertaining level, creating warmth and refinement throughout.
