1 W 67th Street, New York City, NY 10023

Once owned by famed artist Leroy Neiman, this sunny south-facing duplex on the 15th and 16th floors of the legendary Hotel des Artistes offers the best of both worlds – a modern renovation that complements the meticulously restored prewar details.

The juxtaposition of old and new is evident upon entering the duplex’s lower level. The foyer features an original stained-glass window, as well as custom built-in closets and a well-placed powder room.

Off the foyer is the living and dining room, with a side view of Central Park, which has been thoughtfully transformed into a loft-like ~30 foot-long great room with an intricate original plaster ceiling and an oversized wood-burning fireplace with original oak mantle.

The chef’s kitchen, open to the great room, features Calacatta marble countertops and bar seating, a farmhouse sink, and top-of-the-line appliances including a Wolf stove and Sub-Zero refrigerator.

The gracious primary suite is located on the upper level and boasts walk-in closets, an abundance of custom cabinetry, and a pristine ensuite bath with a glass-encased marble shower. Down the hall is the well-proportioned second bedroom with a built-in desk and two closets. Completing the upper level are a full hallway bathroom with a tub and an oversized windowed landing that is currently configured as a den/office (but could easily be changed back to its original 3-bedroom layout or closed off to create a more private office).

Other notable features of this special duplex include in-unit washer and dryer, solid white oak floors, central air conditioning, a Sonos sound system, and a spacious private storage unit on the building’s second floor.

Built in 1917 as an artist’s cooperative, Hotel des Artistes is an iconic neo-gothic luxury full-service building with a full-time doorman and concierge, state-of-the-art gym, swimming pool, squash court, landscaped roof terrace, and discounted dining/room service from Leopard at the des Artistes. Next door to both Lincoln Center and Central Park, this is one of the Upper West Side’s most sought-after buildings and locations.

Pets, pied-a-terres, and 75% financing are permitted. 3% flip tax.
