37 West 70th Street is a distinguished single-family brownstone, rich in well-preserved historic detail, a half block west of Central Park. Imbued with a timeless allure and outfitted with modern amenities, this residence stands as a testament to enduring elegance and impeccable craftsmanship. Originally built 1891 by Gilbert Schellenger, No. 37 has been lovingly maintained as an exemplary model of late 19th century Renaissance Revival architecture. The house underwent a thorough and thoughtful restoration that included installing salvaged Art Deco bathroom. In 1987, it was purchased by Jann & Jane Wenner, the founders of Rolling Stone Magazine. The Wenner family embarked on further renovations, guided by Ward Bennett, who helped bring the home into the 21st century. During their tenure, the UWS - CPW Historic District was approved, and the area has been Landmarked since 1990.
