High Rise

Its storied history, including generations of residents prominent in film, music, and media, has been chronicled over the decades by The New York Times. It has also been maintained at that same standard ever since and the building recently completed a full restoration of its elevators. Unique to the south side of the building, the elevator serves one residence per floor and opens at 4S onto a private vestibule that leads into a grand foyer, with the principal rooms radiating from there. Residence 4S sits within one of only two floors in the building, along with the 11th, fitted with its Juliette balconies, positioned directly along the route of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on Central Park West. The residence received a full brick-to-brick installation of custom double-hung mahogany windows, including the dining room's bay windows, which authentically replicate the building's original 1910 design, a rare detail, as few such windows have survived or since been restored at The Brentmore. The 12-story brick building presents a rusticated limestone facade with sculpted terra cotta window surrounds. The building offers an attended lobby with concierge, doorman service, private storage, and an emergency backup generator.
