101 W 79th St Apt 14A

A Private Garden in the Sky There are homes-and then there are rare vantage points from which the city reveals itself in its most poetic form. Perched high above the Upper West Side, Residence 14A is one such place. A corner home of remarkable scale and light, it captures uninterrupted, protected views over Central Park and the architectural grandeur of the American Museum of Natural History-a living tableau that shifts with the seasons and the hour. Inside, the great room unfolds with quiet confidence. Sunlight pours through walls of glass, illuminating wide-plank oak floors and beamed ceilings, while a hand-finished Venetian plaster wall introduces depth and artistry. The space is both expansive and intimate-designed for elegant entertaining and effortless daily living. The kitchen is seamlessly integrated yet distinctly refined: a sculptural island anchors the room, complemented by granite surfaces and a suite of top-tier appliances. It is a space that invites conversation, connection, and gathering. And yet, the defining moment of this home lies just beyond. Through a series of glass doors, the interior dissolves into an extraordinary private terrace-nearly 800 square feet of open-air living. Rare in both scale and accessibility, it wraps the residence in light and possibility. Morning light filters softly across its expanse; afternoons linger in quiet sun; evenings unfold against a backdrop of skyline and treetops. Designed with multiple zones for dining, lounging, and entertaining, it is less an outdoor space than a true extension of the home-a garden suspended above the city. The primary suite is a study in calm and refinement, offering a custom-designed walk-in closet, a spa-quality bath with radiant heated floors and steam shower, and direct terrace access. The secondary bedroom, equally generous, is thoughtfully appointed with a built-in workspace-balancing comfort with function. Every element has been curated with intention. Motorized shades, a steam oven, bespoke storage, and integrated systems speak to a level of finish that is bothluxurious and discreet. The Park Belvedere is among the Upper West Side's most established white-glove condominiums-offering 24-hour doorman and concierge service, a resident manager, and a full complement of amenities. Its reputation is one of quiet excellence, where service is seamless and privacy is paramount. Just beyond, the neighborhood unfolds in its most iconic form: Central Park at your doorstep, the Rose Center for Earth and Space moments away, and a vibrant tapestry of restaurants, boutiques, and cultural institutions within easy reach. This is not simply a residence. It is a composition of light, space, and perspective-an elevated way of living in New York at its most timeless.
