In 1892, financier and US manufacturer Henry Francis Cook partnered with one of the most prolific architects of his time, Clarence True, to build a 4 story Renaissance Revival house in the heart of the Historic District of the Upper West Side.

Fast forward almost 130 years later, the historical significance and essence of the home remains, while the interior has been expertly reimagined and built out to the highest standards through painstaking efforts of a multi-year endeavor, and with all Landmark plans approved.
Envisioned with a home owner’s legacy and future generations in mind, 163 West 76th Street went through an extensive gut renovation to be a sustainable home with an abundance of modern amenities that will meet even the most discerning buyer’s needs. The sophisticated design of this home is single-family living at its best. With more than 8,000 interior SF and approx. 1,450 SF of outdoor yard and terraces, the home enjoys an abundance of space for the entire family to share on its approx. 20 x 102 lot.
As you enter the Garden level, there is a mudroom and mailroom for packages and a private guest/nanny suite to your right. Northward is a spacious Family or Rec. room with a kitchenette and bar seating, an area perfect to gather for quality time, or watch movies on a big screen TV over custom millwork. Enter through the French doors that open onto a large sun filled approx. 30 foot rear yard garden and enjoy serene outdoor entertaining with a built-in BBQ and cooking station.
Up the classic and restored front stoop and onto the Parlor floor, you can greet your guests in the formal entry hall and seating area with a fireplace and plenty of room for a piano. The open floor plan with loft-like high ceilings provide the ideal dimensions for the enormous formal living/dining room, or the option for a dining area overlooking the rear yard. The designer chef’s kitchen has a stone waterfall island, large fridge with an additional fridge/freezer tucked away in the spacious pantry, 60" Wolf Range, and tons of storage.
The 2nd level has two generous guest bedrooms with 2 full bathrooms, both well placed as a potential guest/nanny/staff suite, along with a mindfully located Laundry Room. The southside bedroom is currently being used as a bright and stunning home office and library outfitted with a rolling library ladder, all framed by oversized windows with tree tops views of 76th Street.
The luxurious floor through Primary Suite on the 3rd level has a huge approx. 23+ foot long walk-in closet, large and bright Primary bath on the south side of the floor, and a private terrace off the bedroom on the north side. The Primary bath features radiant floor heating, steam shower with gorgeous mosaic tile, frameless glass WC, a separate soaking tub against a bookmatched marble slab wall, double vanity and plenty of storage.
The 4th floor has 2 more gracious bedrooms with en suite baths and a private terrace on the north side.
The 5th floor penthouse is being used as a den/media space with a powder room on the floor. There is also plenty of space for a billiard table, or table tennis. With two spacious terraces on both sides of the floor, enjoy the beautiful open sky views from north and south, BBQ, or meditate under the sun in your own retreat.
The upper roof terrace above the penthouse level features yet another escape from the city bustle and hustle. Potential uses are greenhouse space, hot tub, or another lounge area, as mechanicals have been ideally organized to one side to maximize roofdeck usage.
The cellar level, currently in construction, will offer a plethora of private amenities, with efficiently organized mechanicals and storage areas. Designed for the health enthusiast as a tranquil escape, the cellar will be outfitted with exercise equipment, a sauna, and full bathroom. Alternate layouts for this space include a movie room/home theater, large wine tasting room, yoga room, or large kids playroom.
There is also a spacious Kone elevator that quickly whisks passengers through seven levels of the home from the cellar to the rooftop penthouse, extra wide stairs on the grand stairway for ease of movement, and a stunningly designed helical staircase reminiscent of the Guggenheim museum that is seen from the parlor above through several floors. European Oak wood floors, hallways with custom overhead lighting designed to feature artworks, discrete thermostats, Smart home automation system, automated blinds, optimized WiFi Area Points, home security system, and high end fixtures and finishes throughout. The house is steel reinforced with all new electric, plumbing and HVAC systems in place. The landmark facade was carefully preserved and restored. There isn't much more to ask for in a NYC private home with amenities.
163 West 76th offers easy access to Central, and Riverside Parks, Lincoln Center, Time Warner Center, Fairway, Citarella, Zabars, the Museum of Natural History, the New York Historical Society, the Beacon Theatre, numerous schools and some of the best dining and shopping in New York City. Transportation options include the 1, 2, 3, B and C trains and multiple bus lines.
