1923 viewsPerched high above Central Park West and 72nd Street, Penthouse A at the Oliver Cromwell is an architectural masterpiece—a three-story sanctuary in the sky with sweeping views from Central Park to the Hudson River.
This extraordinary residence, 12 West 72nd Street, blends pre-war elegance with a modern, sophisticated vision crafted by the award-winning Mutuus Studio, as previously featured in Architectural Digest.
Inside, every detail is designed for both grandeur and comfort. Expansive UV-protected casement windows flood the home with natural light, highlighting the high ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and bespoke finishes throughout.
The first level is an entertainer’s dream, featuring a spacious living and dining area, a cozy den, and a chef’s kitchen outfitted with top-of-the-line Sub-Zero, Thermador, and Miele appliances.
Ascending to the second level, a thoughtfully designed home office and kitchenette accompany a serene bedroom with an ensuite bath.
However, the true showstopper is the private 300-square-foot terrace, an urban oasis with a retractable awning and automated irrigation system—perfect for morning coffee above the city skyline or sunset gatherings under the stars.
The third level is entirely devoted to the lavish primary suite, a tranquil retreat boasting a spa-like, five-fixture bath complete with an oversized soaking tub and steam shower, as well as an expansive walk-in closet fit for a curated wardrobe.
Built in 1927 by renowned architect Emery Roth, the Oliver Cromwell is a distinguished white-glove cooperative offering a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, bike storage, and central laundry facilities. A residence of this caliber—seamlessly blending historic charm and modern luxury—rarely comes to market.
