Welcome home to Residence 2E at The Pythian, an artist’s loft–style duplex where volume, light, and greenery define the experience. Ceiling heights exceeding 16 feet frame a wall of double-height windows, drawing in dappled sunlight through the canopy of a mature sugar maple just beyond the glass. The main level, with newly-refinished wide plank hardwood floors, is organized as a single architectural sweep: an open living and dining area with dramatic verticality, anchored by a streamlined kitchen with counter seating, integrated appliances by Bertazzoni and Bosch, and adjoining butler’s pantry with wine storage for gracious entertaining. A quiet corner primary suite with en-suite bath is tucked away from the public spaces, maintaining a clear separation between private and social zones. A wrapped stair leads to a full-height mezzanine level floating above the main room, overlooking the double-height volume below. This lofted space nearly exceeds 700 sf, functioning as a flexible second living area plus a proper bedroom area, There’s a dedicated home office, full bath with glass shower, washer/dryer, and a substantial walk-in storage room as well. Set between Central Park and Riverside Park on beloved West 70th Street central to the Upper West Side’s Gold Coast, The Pythian offers full-service condominium living with a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, fitness center, playroom, and storage, along with notably low monthly carrying costs for its caliber and location. Designed in 1927 by Thomas W. Lamb and later home to legendary Decca Records, the building remains one of the neighborhood’s most recognizable landmarks, distinguished by its bold faade and cinematic presence.
