This Charming Lincoln Center Studio is the Perfect Pied–à–Terre for an Expat

This Charming Lincoln Center Studio is the Perfect Pied–à–Terre for an Expat

For those of you who adore the movie Amélie, you’re certain to fall in love with this quirky Lincoln Center studio, which we think would make the perfect pied–à–terre for the fabuleux French dreamer if she were ever to moonlight in Manhattan. Situated in a pristine townhouse located at 136 West 70th Street, this little beauty has all the grandeur of its sprawling neighbors, but offers plenty more charm with its lofty living space and beautiful rust-colored tin ceiling.

Though the studio is a bit snug, the current owners built in lots of space saving strategies, including a Murphy bed and additional storage above. A petite but separate kitchen keeps the space from feeling cluttered, and a renovated modern bathroom up a small flight of stairs truly makes this studio “the bees knees“, as described by its current residents.

With Central Park just a block and a half east, and of course the incredible cultural offer of Lincoln Center minutes away, feeling all cooped up is not an option while living here.

If you’re someone who loves a space with lots of character, this lovely home at 136 is currently selling for $475,000.

In a city of unique homes, a condo in this landmarked castle on Central Park West may take the cake. Constructed in a spectacular French Renaissance style, the brick building with majestic turrets at 455 Central Park West opened in the late 1880s as the first cancer hospital in the country. After a later notorious stint as a nursing home, the building sat vacant for decades before becoming a luxury condominium in the early aughts. One of the units is now on the market for $10,500,000, offering circular rooms, a Central Park-facing terrace, and a fascinating history.
