Elevator, Renovated 20-Foot-Wide Townhouse Next to Central Park in the Most Desirable Lincoln Square Neighborhood
Welcome to 42 West 71st Street, an exquisitely renovated five-story single-family mansion located on one of the premier blocks near Central Park on the Upper West Side. Bathed in natural light and surrounded by historic townhouses, this grand 20-foot-wide home features soaring ceilings on every floor, offering 8,560 square feet of luxurious interior living space plus 3000 square feet of outdoor space, including a south-facing garden, terrace, and a rooftop deck.

Designed by internationally renowned architect Dirk Denison, this residence seamlessly combines timeless design with premium materials. The meticulous renovation showcases a sophisticated contemporary aesthetic, featuring hardwood floors, exotic Italian marble in the kitchen and baths, and top-tier fixtures and appliances. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated, from the newly built rear glass façade to the exceptional Poggenpohl chef’s kitchen.
The townhouse is equipped with an elevator that services all floors, from the basement to the top level. The new owner will enjoy multiple outdoor spaces, including a beautifully landscaped south-facing garden, a spacious roof terrace on the third floor, and a rooftop with a wet bar and open city views. The home is fully wired for smart home technology, including TV, phone, data, cameras, and Wi-Fi. Additionally, all windows are pre-wired for motorized shades, allowing for customizable design and functionality.
