NYC townhouse on land once owned by the Dakota’s developer is listing

townhouse

An Upper West Side townhouse with ties to one of America’s most famous apartment buildings has hit the market for $14.6 million.

The four-story home, at 122 W. 73rd St., was originally built in 1900 on land owned by Edward Clark, the developer of the Dakota building, where — most infamously — John Lennon was shot. Apart from tragedy, the Dakota was built in the late 1800s as the first luxury apartment building in America, following a move among the elite from living in standalone mansions to units that allowed more efficient, but still grand, layouts.

At 6,630 square feet, the smart-wired townhouse comes with six bedrooms, six baths, three powder rooms and an elevator. It was recently renovated by Murdock Solon Architects.

The garden floor opens to a bedroom suite or office, and a large living room that leads to a landscaped garden with a bamboo wall. Next, take an elevator ride or walk the curved stairway to the parlor floor with 11-foot-4-inch ceiling heights. There’s also a living room with a fireplace, a chef’s kitchen and a dining area with floor-to-ceiling paned windows overlooking the garden.

A stairway leads to a 130-square-foot deck that connects, via stairs, to the garden below. The main bedroom with a walk-in closet and spa-like bath takes up much of the second floor, while the third and fourth floors include additional bedrooms. A penthouse level features a wet bar and its own terrace.

Details include radiant-heated floors and wine storage in the cellar.

The listing brokers are Leonard Steinberg, Herve Senequier and Amy Mendizábal of Compass.
