When people think of romantic cities, visions of Paris or Rome may come to mind. But, New York City could also be considered one of the most romantic cities in the world. Especially if you ask authors or movie producers. It’s townhouse-lined streets and skyscrapers have been the setting of countless romantic comedies from Old Hollywood classics like An Affair to Remember to ’90s staples like You’ve Got Mail to newer favorites like 27 Dresses. For those who crave a rom-com lifestyle with strolls in Central Park and morning sips at quaint coffee shops, this Uptown listing could be quite enticing.
The 1887-built townhouse sits in the heart of the Upper West Side Historic District and offers five floors of enchanting interiors. Purchasing it would definitely be a grand romantic gesture this Valentine’s Day for affluent buyers who are over flowers since it’s priced at $8.95 million.
Beyond its quintessential rom-com location and brownstone facade, the five-bedroom home has a few other key romantic highlights. No need to splash out at a fancy bar when the parlor floor is perfect for date nights in. You can cozy up in the living area with a wood-burning fireplace and ethereal wallcoverings or head to the purple cocktail nook. While it’s technically the “library,” there are no books in sight currently. Just a built-in bar, wine refrigerators, and a Juliet balcony over the lovely garden just waiting for whispered conversations and star-gazing. However, if movies are your one true love, the basement’s home theater will likely become a beloved spot.
Allison B. Koffman and Juliette R. Janssens of Sotheby’s International Realty hold the listing.
