Lantern House was built in 2020 adjacent to the High Line, the elevated public park and walkway stretching from the Whitney Museum to the commerce and culture of Hudson Yards. This open-plan three-bedroom home features lofty ceilings, river views through the building’s signature convex bay windows, marble-clad gourmet kitchen, and oversize great room.
Part of central Harlem's history, this 1890 Neo-Renaissance Revival townhouse was designed for a Gilded Age baking-soda magnate. Restoration of the five-story, six-bedroom home won a preservation award; historic details include mahogany woodwork, ornate plasterwork and stained glass, four oval rooms, and a 1920s upstairs library; updates include an eat-in chef's kitchen.
