A historic Upper West Side gem steps from Central Park
The Hermitage, a distinguished pre-war condominium built in 1928, stands tall on West 72nd Street between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue. This 17-story building houses 124 units, offering a blend of classic New York City charm and modern living. Its prime location, just half a block from Central Park, places residents at the heart of one of Manhattan's most coveted neighborhoods. The Hermitage embodies the timeless elegance of Upper West Side architecture while providing the conveniences expected in contemporary urban living.
Diverse layouts with pre-war character and modern updates
The Hermitage offers a range of living spaces to suit various needs, from cozy studios to expansive five-bedroom residences. Studios, starting at 623 square feet, provide efficient living spaces perfect for singles or as pied-à-terres. One-bedroom units, ranging from 630 to 768 square feet, are available for around $930,000 and often feature renovated kitchens with stainless steel appliances and updated bathrooms.
Two-bedroom apartments, approximately 1,000 square feet in size, offer more spacious living areas and are priced between $1,225,018 and $1,450,000. These units typically include one to one-and-a-half bathrooms and provide ample room for families or those desiring extra space. Three-bedroom residences, spanning 1,000 to 1,638 square feet, offer even more generous living areas and can include up to two-and-a-half bathrooms. These larger units are priced around $1,600,000.
For those seeking truly expansive living spaces, The Hermitage offers rare five-bedroom units of approximately 1,500 square feet. These residences provide unparalleled flexibility for large families or those who require additional rooms for home offices or guest accommodations.
Throughout the building, residents enjoy classic pre-war details such as high beamed ceilings, elegant crown moldings, and beautiful hardwood floors. Many units have been thoughtfully renovated to include modern amenities while preserving their original charm. Kitchens often feature granite countertops, custom cabinetry, and high-end appliances from brands like Sub-Zero, Viking, and Miele. Bathrooms in renovated units may include marble finishes, radiant heat flooring, and designer fixtures.
Select apartments offer stunning views of the city skyline or glimpses of Central Park, particularly from higher floors. Some units boast spacious private terraces, providing coveted outdoor space in the heart of Manhattan. The building's south-facing apartments are particularly prized for their abundant natural light.
Full-service amenities for comfortable city living
The Hermitage offers a range of amenities designed to enhance the living experience of its residents. A 24-hour doorman provides security and assistance, while a live-in superintendent ensures prompt attention to building maintenance needs. The central laundry room offers convenience for residents, eliminating the need for in-unit laundry equipment or trips to off-site laundromats.
For those who embrace city cycling, a bike storage room is available, providing a secure space to store bicycles without cluttering apartments. Additional storage options are offered, allowing residents to maximize their living spaces by storing seasonal items or less frequently used belongings.
The building's pet-friendly policy is a draw for animal lovers, welcoming both dogs and cats to the community. This policy recognizes pets as integral family members and adds to the warm, residential feel of the building.
While The Hermitage may not boast extensive recreational facilities, its location more than compensates, with Central Park serving as an extended backyard offering endless opportunities for outdoor activities and relaxation.
Cultural richness and urban convenience in the heart of the Upper West Side
The Hermitage's location on West 72nd Street places residents in one of Manhattan's most desirable neighborhoods, known for its cultural institutions, dining options, and proximity to green spaces.

Excellent connectivity to Manhattan and beyond
The Hermitage's location offers residents exceptional access to New York City's extensive public transportation network.
