A modern townhouse retreat in the heart of the Upper West Side

The Columbus Townhouses, completed in 1989, offer a unique blend of privacy and community in one of Manhattan's most coveted neighborhoods. This four-story condominium complex houses 67 units, providing residents with the intimacy of townhouse living coupled with the conveniences of a full-service building. Situated just one block from Central Park, these homes offer a tranquil escape from the bustling city while remaining at the center of Upper West Side life.

Spacious layouts with luxurious touches and outdoor havens

The Columbus Townhouses feature 2- to 3-bedroom residences ranging from 835 to 1,810 square feet. These thoughtfully designed homes cater to a variety of lifestyles, with sale prices around $1,100,000. The crown jewel of the building is its penthouse units, which showcase the epitome of Upper West Side living. In these exceptional homes, residents are greeted by soaring ceilings up to 25 feet high, creating a sense of grandeur and openness. Wide-plank hardwood floors run throughout, complemented by expansive art walls perfect for displaying prized collections. Large windows, many equipped with motorized shades, flood the interiors with natural light while framing picturesque views of the surrounding neighborhood. The living spaces are designed for both comfort and entertainment. Some units boast dramatic remote-controlled gas fireplaces, serving as stunning focal points in already impressive great rooms. For those who love to host, select residences feature dedicated bar areas, making gracious entertaining effortless. Kitchens are a chef's dream, outfitted with top-of-the-line Miele appliances including gas cooktops, ovens, refrigerators, and built-in microwaves. Gleaming white cabinetry and sleek gray countertops complete the sophisticated culinary spaces. Primary bedrooms in the larger units are true retreats, with some offering private balconies that provide treetop views over the charming 89th Street. Luxurious en-suite bathrooms feature marble finishes, soaking tubs, frameless glass rain showers, and double vanities, all adorned with high-end fixtures and beautiful mosaic tile work. Perhaps the most distinguishing feature of select units is the abundance of private outdoor space. Some residences boast multiple terraces and balconies, with penthouse units crowned by spacious private roof decks. These outdoor oases, some as large as 325 square feet, offer breathtaking open-sky views and are perfect for alfresco dining or simply unwinding after a long day. Additional features in various units include multi-zoned HVAC systems for personalized comfort, in-unit washer/dryers for convenience, and custom built-ins for maximizing storage and functionality.

Townhouse privacy with condominium conveniences

The Columbus Townhouses strike a balance between the privacy of individual homes and the amenities of a full-service condominium. While the building itself maintains a boutique feel, residents benefit from a range of services typically associated with larger complexes. A standout feature is the concierge service, available through the neighboring 600 Columbus Avenue. This amenity ensures that residents' needs are met promptly and efficiently, from package reception to general assistance. For those with vehicles, the on-site parking garage offers a coveted amenity in a city where parking can be a challenge. This convenience allows residents to easily come and go without the hassle of searching for street parking or navigating public lots. Each unit is equipped with a full kitchen, featuring refrigerators and ovens, allowing residents to prepare meals in the comfort of their own homes. Bathrooms are fitted with tub/shower combinations, providing both functionality and comfort. While the Columbus Townhouses may not boast an extensive list of communal amenities, the thoughtful selection of services and the quality of in-unit features create a living experience that prioritizes comfort and convenience. The building's approach reflects a understanding that in New York City, sometimes the greatest luxury is space, privacy, and well-designed homes.
