Four built-out closets are right where you need them, serving as a pantry, a coat closet, a walk-in bedroom closet, and one has custom drawers for your home office. The kitchen has generous counter space and is outfitted with a suite of stainless steel high-end appliances for the discerning chef.

The Westmore is known for its restored Art Deco marble lobby with peaceful east and west English gardens including an herb garden with fresh basil for tonight’s pasta.

The building welcomes guarantors, gifting, co-purchasing, parents buying for children, and purchase by an LLC or trust. An alternate entrance on 58th Street brings convenient access to Central Park, shops and restaurants, and the 1, A, C, B, and D subway lines at Columbus Circle.
