This week’s unattainable apartment is a stunning single family townhouse at 311 West 74th Street, between West End Avenue and Riverside Drive.  The townhouse was designed by C.P.H. Gilbert in 1896 and was known to some of America’s most legendary jazz icons as “The Music House.”  Impeccably restored and renovated, it now defines old-world opulence with modern-day luxury, featuring five floors (plus a cellar), seven bedrooms, five full baths and two powder rooms.  The limestone and brick house is an impressive 22 feet wide, with features such as a triple parlor, nine original wood-burning fireplaces, original inlaid wood floors, original wood-paneled dining room with a separate butler’s pantry and a dumbwaiter, library with original built-in bookcases and original Tiffany glass transom and a huge entertainment room with 12′ ceilings and a wet bar.  It also features a state-of-the-art chef’s kitchen with plenty of dining space and top-of-the-line appliances, a Bosch washer/dryer, dry-heat sauna, planted roof deck with a gas line and sink, and two terraces.  With no detail overlooked, this amazing townhouse is an incredible home.  It’s all yours for the asking price of $8,695,000, listed through Corcoran.  Click through for more photos of the West 74th Street townhouse.
