A STANDOUT RENOVATION AT THE LILIEN

Apartment 3C is a thoughtfully renovated home in H. Herbert Lilien’s distinguished 1941 Moderne gem, one of the Upper West Side’s most beloved cooperatives. The Lilien’s generously proportioned apartments blend Moderne and Art Deco elements throughout, and 3C exemplifies this at its best. The apartment’s graceful flow begins with a welcoming entry gallery that opens to a signature sunken living room and dining area, with graceful archways, a built-in arched niche, inlaid parquet floors, and curved moldings at every turn.

The layout is exceptional. The dining area is large and proper, rare in a one bedroom, and three arches frame the view from room to room. The bedroom sits apart for genuine privacy. Six generous closets, including a pair in the bedroom, provide storage that many two-bedroom owners would envy.

The living room faces north over West 72nd Street at treeline height, beneath airy 8’6” ceilings. On this double-wide block, the outlook is unusually open, with soft northern light, ornate Beaux-Arts facades across the street, and the treetops of Riverside Park to the west. On spring mornings, you might be lucky enough to have a blue jay visit the tree just outside the window.

The windowed kitchen was completely gut-renovated. It features white Shaker cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting, charcoal quartz countertops, a white hexagon backsplash, and oversized gray hexagon floor tiles. It includes a gas range, microwave, Liebherr refrigerator, and a butcher-block counter for morning coffee. It has a dishwasher hookup, but the kitchen is currently set up for additional cabinet storage instead.

The windowed bathroom was taken down to the studs and rebuilt. It pairs floor-to-ceiling white subway tile with a hexagon mosaic floor and black rosette accents, a tub with handheld shower, a soft gray vanity with matte black pulls, and a mirrored medicine cabinet. The bedroom is a true retreat, easily fitting a king-sized bed with ample room for dressers, a desk, or a cozy seating area.

300 West 72nd Street is an intimate 34-residence cooperative designated within the West End-Collegiate Historic District, whose period 1940s interiors have appeared on the big screen. Impeccably managed by a dedicated live-in Resident Manager, the building’s common areas retain their original terrazzo floors and period décor alongside an elevator, state-of-the-art surveillance, remote front-door access via mobile phone, a new laundry room, and a secure bike room. Flexible purchase policies include pieds-à-terre, co-purchases, guarantors, gifting, and subletting. Pets are welcome.

Ideally positioned at one of the Upper West Side’s most desirable intersections, the location delivers an unparalleled lifestyle. Riverside Park’s waterfront paths and the Hudson River lie half a block west - just steps from the dog run and the beloved statue of Eleanor Roosevelt - while Central Park and Lincoln Center are moments to the east. Pier I, a favorite for sunsets and Fourth of July fireworks, is a short distance along the water. Kossar’s Bagels and Bialys is across the street, with Fairway, Zabar’s, and Trader Joe’s all nearby. The 72nd Street station (1/2/3 lines) is one block away. World-class dining, celebrated museums, and the full cultural richness of the Upper West Side complete this quintessential address.
