Description

A Reimagined Prewar Gem at The Lincoln Spencer Perfectly positioned on a tree-lined block just moments from Lincoln Center and Central Park, Residence 52 at 140 West 69th Street is a beautifully reimagined one-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath home that blends timeless prewar character with sophisticated modern design. From the moment you enter, the scale and craftsmanship impress. High ceilings, elegant moldings, and abundant natural light create an atmosphere of calm refinement. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated - from the custom millwork and designer lighting to the high-end fixtures by Shonenberg - resulting in a home that feels both luxurious and inviting. The open kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful, featuring quartzite countertops, bespoke cabinetry, and top-of-the-line appliances including a Bertazzoni range and Miele refrigerator and dishwasher. The serene bedroom offers excellent light and generous closet space, while the ensuite bath showcases Porcelanosa and bespoke Arte tilework, including Carrara marble and mother-of-pearl detailing. A chic powder room with a Calacatta Gold vanity and an in-unit washer and dryer complete this exceptional layout. The Lincoln Spencer is one of the Upper West Side's most iconic cooperatives, celebrated for its architectural beauty and central location near the city's best dining, culture, and green space. Residence 52 captures the best of both worlds - prewar charm and modern luxury - in one unforgettable home. Built in 1903, The Lincoln Spencer is an elegant prewar cooperative with a 24-hour doorman and a live-in superintendent. Pied-à-terre ownership, gifting, co-purchasing, and pets are welcome, with subletting permitted after five years of residency (subject to board approval). Located at 69th Street and Broadway, this unbeatable address puts you just minutes from Central Park, Lincoln Center, The Beacon Theatre, top restaurants, boutique shopping, and the 1, 2, 3, B, and C subway lines.
