17’ x 100’ Lot, Built 60’ Deep

This exceptional six-story townhouse offers the unique quality and diversity of space of a proper manor while fitting in the center of one of the most active of Upper West Side neighborhoods. All heating, plumbing, electrical, fireplaces, etc. were newly installed in 2002 during a complete renovation. The building has a certificate of occupancy for two units; however the upper unit is currently divided to create a third apartment rental. The experience of being home begins before you touch the front stoop. A wide, raised flower bed planter stands out front, like on the grounds of a grand estate, and serves to shield the entrance below the stoop. The sidewalk features a stone area specifically designed for this townhouse, ushering you inside. The stoop is renovated using the original stonework. Up the stoop, “gaslight” fixtures light both sides of the golden wood front doors to the parlor entrance. This brick façade townhouse features a private garden, a broad second-floor bay window, two private roof deck gardens, exposed brick interiors, hardwood floors, extra kitchens, and working fireplaces on every level. Currently configured as three separate units—an owner’s duplex, a floor-length apartment, and a triplex—the second floor apartment and the triplex generate rental income to offset your costs, making this an excellent value choice. In addition, please note that the tenants pay the heat and electricity individually.

A chandelier hangs from the ceiling, enhanced by tucked away lighting, and crown molding decorates the room. A built-in wet bar is opposite the windows.

The rear room is large enough for both a dining and entertaining area. The chandelier is surrounded by plaster molding, and the fireplace has a marble surround and wood mantle, similar to the master bedroom. The wood-paneled back wall has two sets of glass double doors for excellent air circulation: one opens to a cast-metal Juliet balcony and the other to the metal stairwell to the private rear garden.

Open the south door to the left for the apartment. You immediately enter the rear room with exposed brick on both sides as well as a stone and brick fireplace with smart storage space underneath for CDs and DVDs. Sliding glass doors open to a back patio over the rear garden. Adjacent to the patio, in the extension, is a small room with a ceiling fan and windows to the back garden; this room is currently used as a nursery. The kitchen is separated from the rear room by a counter and has a full-set of appliances and wood-grain cabinets. By the kitchen, a room houses a washer and dryer.

Fourth Floor: Lower Level of Triplex
The entrance to this triplex is on the second floor, opposite the door to the second-floor apartment. Just inside this entrance is a foyer for coats and shoes and stairs with a wood banister and curved newel post. These stairs lead to the airy rear room on the third floor, a dining room with a working stone and brick fireplace, a ceiling fan, and a tall ceiling. Tall, glass-paned doors lead to a dining area on the ample patio garden, which looks out onto the quiet rear gardens of the townhouses on the block. Adjacent to the patio is a cast-metal Juliet balcony, where you plant a hanging garden over the second-floor patio. Panels open at the top of the glass-paned door, allowing for excellent air circulation. The kitchen is separated by a large, rose-colored counter and has a full-set of appliances and wood-grain cabinets. By the kitchen are duel thermostats, one is for heating and the other is for central air conditioning (Please note that the 3rd floor floor-through apartment and the triplex are separately vented for central air conditioning but the actual units were never installed when the system was updated a few years ago. These units were formerly housed on the 5th floor roof terrace. The tenants are currently using portable free-standing air conditioners). The hallway to the front room has built-in cabinets and shelving. By the hallway is a full-bath with rose marble floors, a wide Jacuzzi tub, and new fixtures. The front living/entertaining room features wall-mounted, dimmer switches on the lighting, a substantial, working stone and brick fireplace, a spacious hidden closet, and a semi-circular window that looks out to street.

The full-bath has glass-enclosed shower and a wide sink. Looking down to the street, the roof deck garden extends longer than the length of front room below. There is room to grill and dine and to entertain on the new deck flooring. The screen door will let air onto the floor, keeping the whole triplex cool, and lowering energy cost.

Sixth Floor: Penthouse Level of Triplex
Up the spiral staircase from the fourth floor is a loft studio; currently, it used as a children’s bedroom. Terrifically quiet, it looks out to both the rear gardens of the townhouses on block and the roof deck garden.
