For over 40 years, this magnificent duplex was the cherished home of Peter Yarrow, of the legendary folk trio Peter, Paul & Mary. A true turn-of-the-century artist’s loft, the residence stands as a vibrant testament to New York's cultural heritage, echoing a legacy of creativity and purpose.

During Yarrow’s time here, the home became much more than a place to live—it was a sanctuary for artists, intellectuals, and activists. Many unforgettable evenings saw the living room filled with voices singing “Blowin’ in the Wind,” “If I Had a Hammer,” and “Puff the Magic Dragon,” as gatherings of 80 to 100 people came together in support of causes that helped shape a generation.

Originally built as an artist’s studio in 1903, the home opens into a grand cathedral-like living room featuring barrel-vaulted ceilings and an extraordinary two-story window offering dramatic views of the Upper West Side skyline. Adjacent to the great room is a dining area with classic southern exposures that flood the space with natural light. The kitchen retains its original fire-brick vaulted ceiling and showcases custom oak cabinetry along with an oversized maple center island—a hub for countless family meals and songwriting sessions.

On the main floor is an en-suite bedroom and a full bath that doubles as a powder room through a separate entrance. Upstairs, the mezzanine level—accessible via both stairs and elevator—overlooks the grand living space. The primary bedroom, with open exposures to the north and south, receives beautiful natural light and features an en-suite bath and home office. A second bedroom and full bath complete the upper level.

This loft is situated within a landmark cooperative building located in a historic district renowned for its deep-rooted ties to the artistic community. With only 32 residences, the building fosters a creative atmosphere and provides thoughtful amenities including a penthouse-level private office/work space, a lushly landscaped common roof terrace with skyline views, a storage unit, full-time attended lobby, and live-in superintendent.
