The Briarcliff at 171 West 57th Street Building Details
The Briarcliff, located at 171 West 57th Street, is a prestigious 13-story pre-war condominium completed in 1922 by Warren & Wetmore, the celebrated architects behind Grand Central Terminal. Situated in the heart of Midtown Manhattan on Billionaire's Row, this refined boutique building contains just 33 exclusive residences. It delivers top-tier white-glove service anchored by a full-time doorman, a dedicated concierge, and a resident manager. Property amenities include private storage configurations and a central laundry room, providing a highly discreet and secure living environment.
The building's historic architectural framework supports exceptionally grand residential layouts featuring soaring 10-foot ceilings, wood-burning fireplaces, and deep pre-war crown moldings. Designed with private elevator vestibules that open into stately formal entry foyers, the expansive three- to four-bedroom floor plans flow seamlessly into 30-foot living rooms and grand formal dining rooms. The light-filled homes are illuminated by massive sash windows boasting quadruple exposures, overlooking striking views of Carnegie Hall. The infrastructure supports modernized functions, including multi-zone central air conditioning, high-end chef's kitchens with premium stone surfaces, and in-unit laundry appliances.
Positioned on 57th Street near Seventh Avenue, the property occupies one of the city's most coveted cultural epicenters. Residents are just two blocks south of Central Park and a short walk from Columbus Circle, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), and the flagship luxury retail corridors of Fifth and Madison Avenues. This premier location completely eliminates daily travel friction with its immediate proximity to world-class dining destinations and exceptional public transit networks, including the N, Q, R, W, B, D, F, 1, and A/C subway lines for an effortless city-wide commute.
