The Ansonia, a beacon of architectural and social significance, continues to stand as a prominent landmark in New York City. Built in 1904, at the dawn of the 20th century, this structure embodies the opulence and elegance of a bygone era. Originally envisioned as a hotel that redefined luxury, the Ansonia offered its residents amenities far exceeding the standards of the time. This iconic building is steeped in history, having served as home to many celebrated figures. Within its walls resided sporting legends such as Babe Ruth and Jack Dempsey, alongside musical luminaries like Gustav Mahler, Arturo Toscanini, Sergei Rachmaninoff, and Igor Stravinsky. These storied residents lend to the Ansonia a rich and vibrant past.

Recognizing its architectural mastery and historical importance, the Ansonia was honored with a place on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Its transition to a condominium in 1992 ensured the preservation of its legacy, allowing future generations to experience the grandeur and charm. Today, residents enjoy a full-service building with a doorman, concierge, landscaped roof deck, laundry room, bike racks, storage and rare elevator access to private parking. The Ansonia offers unparalleled convenience situated between Central Park & Riverside, within reach of Lincoln Center. Utilize easy access to major transit options as well as proximity to excellent shopping, including Citarella, Zabars, Fairway, and Trader Joe's nearby. Pets are welcome.
