Experience luxury on the Upper West Side at our stunning listing on 70th Street, complete with an indoor pool and sauna for the ultimate relaxation experience.




    

    Legendary violinist Itzhak Perlman and his wife Toby, also a violinist, are selling their historic Upper West Side townhouse for $11.9 million. The home has been in their family for decades and was where they raised their children. The property boasts an indoor pool and sauna, adding to its luxurious appeal. The Perlmans last listed the home for $17.5 million in 2022.

    The turn-of-the-century townhouse features a modern chef's kitchen and plenty of room for a grand piano. The open dining area leads to an outdoor space, perfect for entertaining. The "spa level" includes a pool and sauna for relaxation and exercise.

    At 79, Itzhak Perlman is still actively performing worldwide and is known for his conducting skills and teaching. His voice can be heard annually on New York's classical music radio station, WQXR, during the High Holidays and Passover.

    The 20-foot-wide townhouse, built in 1901, is located just off Central Park West on West 70th Street. It spans 8,000 square feet and features five to six bedrooms, five bathrooms, four powder rooms, and six fireplaces. The property also offers approximately 1,500 square feet of private outdoor space, including a roof deck, landscaped terrace, and garden.

    The Perlmans are downsizing due to their children moving out, and they have chosen Compass brokers Richard Steinberg and Alexander Mignogna to list their beloved home. The property's unique features, including its "spa level" and proximity to Lincoln Center and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, make it a rare find on the Upper West Side.
