About This Property
REFLECTIONS OF LINCOLN SQUARE
Where design and culture take center stage
Perfectly positioned at one of Lincoln Square's most desirable intersections, directly across from The Juilliard School, Lincoln Center and just one block from Central Park, this distinctive four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath residence offers approximately 2,650 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. Nine-foot ceilings, generous proportions and a natural flow between rooms create a home that feels both sophisticated and inviting.
A defining architectural feature of the residence is its custom lacquered ceilings, meticulously finished by a European artisan. Their extraordinary reflective quality brings depth and dimension to the interiors, capturing the afternoon sun and, after dark, the shifting glow of Lincoln Square. The effect is subtle yet striking, creating an atmosphere that evolves throughout the day and sets this home apart.
Western exposures bring afternoon sunshine and open sky into the living and dining areas and three of the four bedrooms, giving a consistent outlook and an airy, open feeling throughout much of the floor plan. The residence's enviable position at a prominent intersection further enhances its sense of openness and connection to the surrounding neighborhood. The spacious fourth bedroom faces northeast, welcoming the first light of morning.
The interiors balance elegance with personality. Italian stone and wood floors, designer lighting and carefully selected finishes lend warmth and character. Gracious living and dining spaces transition effortlessly, offering a beautiful setting for entertaining and everyday living.
The kitchen features high-gloss wood cabinetry, stone finishes and a Bertazzoni Italian range. All four bedrooms have full en suite bathrooms, including two primary-style suites with double vanities. The principal marble bath boasts a BainUltra tub, while the other three are appointed in granite, each with a classic tub of its own. A separate powder room completes the layout.
Generous closet space, thoughtfully integrated additional cabinetry and a dedicated washer/dryer closet provide excellent everyday functionality.
With just three residences on the floor and a dedicated 24-hour staff, the building offers an intimate residential atmosphere and a level of attentive, personalized service that truly distinguishes it. The building also features a bicycle storage room.
Few locations offer such an exceptional convergence of culture, convenience and green space. The Metropolitan Opera, New York City Ballet and the New York Philharmonic are all moments away, placing world-class performances practically at your doorstep. Central Park beckons, offering a picturesque setting for relaxation and outdoor enjoyment, while an exceptional collection of restaurants, including the newly opened Brasserie Boulud by acclaimed chef Daniel Boulud, brings world-class dining to the neighborhood. Outstanding shopping and everyday conveniences are equally close at hand.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Corcoran Group.
Custom lacquered ceilings, finished by a European artisan, are what make 5AB at 150 Columbus Avenue unusual. The reflective finish adds depth to the rooms, and it changes as the light moves through the day.
The lacquer picks up afternoon sun, and after dark it picks up the glow of Lincoln Square, which gives the living and dining rooms a shifting quality. Western exposures bring afternoon sunshine into those rooms and three of the four bedrooms. For a west-facing window, direct sun runs from 12:34 PM to 4:07 PM at the winter solstice and from 1:11 PM to 8:07 PM at the summer solstice, though nearby buildings can block some of it.
The kitchen has high-gloss wood cabinetry, stone finishes and a Bertazzoni Italian range, with a dishwasher for daily use. The rooms flow naturally into one another, which suits both hosting and ordinary weeknights. I like a kitchen that stays part of the main living space, and you'll notice that right away when you're cooking with company nearby.
All four bedrooms have en suite bathrooms, and two primary-style suites have double vanities. The principal bath is marble with a BainUltra tub, while the other three are finished in granite, each with its own tub. The spacious fourth bedroom faces northeast, so it gets morning light. The washer and dryer sit in a dedicated closet inside the unit, so laundry stays at home.
The building has an elevator and storage space, and the listing also notes a bicycle storage room. The 1 train at 66 St-Lincoln Center is about 1 minute on foot, and Central Park is about 5 minutes away. Morton Williams is about 4 minutes away for groceries. Pets aren't a problem here, since pets are allowed.
