Property Description for 386 Columbus Ave, 17/18A

Night at the Museum!

A Rare Triplex perched right on top of the Museum of Natural History!

High above above the Upper West Side, Penthouse17A/18A at 386 Columbus Avenue is a three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath triplex with over 2,000 sq/ft inside and 600+ sq/ft outside. This is your chance to build a true forever home.

Three levels. Soaring, loft-like rooms. Walls of oversized windows framing Central Park's treetops, the Manhattan skyline, and jaw-dropping views straight into the American Museum of Natural History. Hardwood floors and generous proportions give you a blank canvas for a showstopping renovation.

The chef's kitchen has been lightly renovated and is ready for its glow-up, plus each of the three bedrooms offers real privacy.

Then there's the crown jewel: a private terrace built for skyline sunsets, alfresco dinners, and Manhattan at its best.

It all sits inside an intimate, full-service condo with a 24-hour doorman - steps from Central Park, Lincoln Center, the best museums, and the neighborhood's best restaurants and shopping.

This is a rare shot at a custom penthouse home in one of the city's most coveted locations.

Top Features:
  • 2,000+ sq/ft interior PLUS 600+ sq/ft private terrace
  • Unmatched views of the Natural History Museum, Central Park & skyline
  • 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms across a rare triplex layout
  • Soaring, loft-like living & entertaining spaces
  • Oversized windows with hardwood floors throughout
  • Chef's kitchen ready for a custom renovation
