Metropolitan Opera star Lucien Amara, described as “the greatest lyric soprano of our time,” has listed her New York City co-op for $1.44 million, The Post has learned.
Composed of two bedrooms and three baths, the Upper West Side residence is just a few blocks from Riverside Park.
Inside a pre-war building at 260 West End Avenue, the home features a large foyer with views of the Hudson River.
The kitchen has a large window — and comes with a powder room that can be converted into a washer/dryer unit, the listing notes.
Spread over 1,250 sq ft, the house also has a spacious living and dining area.
“One can enjoy watching the sunset and boat activity on the river from the two large windows in the west-facing living room or from the primary bedroom,” the listing says.
The building is full-service with a lobby with 24-hour attendance, a live-in super, a laundry room, a bike room and storage units.
Peter McLean with Corcoran has the listing.
Amara, now 97, challenged the Met for age discrimination at the age of 51 and successfully won the case.
She continued to perform and was inducted into the Academy of Vocal Arts Hall of Fame in 1989.
