About This Home
Meticulously reimagined from the studs up, Residence 9B at The Barrington is a top-floor home where thoughtful design, premium materials, and exceptional craftsmanship come together to create a truly turnkey Upper West Side residence. A complete renovation transformed the home with new subflooring, upgraded 120-amp electrical service, white oak herringbone flooring, and custom acoustic and thermal-insulated Skyline windows featuring an additional exterior glass layer. The result is a remarkably quiet and comfortable living environment filled with natural light. The beautifully designed kitchen was created for both serious cooking and everyday living. Custom Alvic Zenit cabinetry is paired with honed Calacatta Miraggio Cove quartz countertops and a suite of premium appliances including a Miele oven, Miele steam oven, Miele dishwasher, and a KitchenAid/BORA downdraft induction cooktop. Additional features include 208V kitchen power and a three-stage water filtration system. The primary and secondary bedrooms offer exceptional comfort with fully electronic blackout shades and pre-installed ducting for future central air conditioning. Throughout the home, carefully selected lighting includes Lotus LED recessed fixtures with outstanding color accuracy, a statement FLOS Smithfield Suspension Pro fixture in the living room, and a Leviton smart lighting system. The bathrooms were designed with the same attention to detail, featuring Kohler Maxstow vanities and mirrors, Toto Legato one-piece toilets, a Kohler Stoneridge shower, and an American Standard Americast soaking tub. A dedicated laundry room includes a Miele washer with TwinDos automatic detergent dispensing and a Miele heat-pump dryer. Situated on the top floor of The Barrington, a full-service prewar condominium, Residence 9B offers a rare combination of historic Upper West Side character and modern construction-quality rarely found in Manhattan renovations. Residents enjoy a full-time doorman, storage, bike room, and an exceptional location moments from Riverside Park, Central Park, neighborhood dining, shopping, and transportation.
