OVERVIEW

This 18-foot-wide townhouse beauty needs some updating but it is sun-flooded, has soaring ceilings, pristine original woodwork, and is on a great block.

PARLOR

This floor features a gorgeous living room with a gas fireplace, a dining room, and an open kitchen with a breakfast bar, granite countertops, and top appliances.

Overlooking the living room is a cozy reading nook, and just a few steps down, you'll find a powder room, wet bar, and a terrace perfect for grilling with stairs that lead down to the garden.

THIRD AND FOURTH FLOORS

These offer the ability to have four bedrooms. Currently, there is an open study with a solarium and a south-facing balcony. Down the hall is a large bedroom with a walk-in closet and a spacious bathroom with a steam shower, tub, and bidet.

The top floor has two more glorious sun-flooded bedrooms, two full bathrooms, as well as a washer/dryer, two skylights, and another terrace.

GARDEN LEVEL

Currently used as a single-family home but zoned as a two-family.

The garden level has a separate entrance, two bedrooms, a bathroom, a dining area, a small, renovated kitchen, and direct access to the wonderful south-facing garden that offers a peaceful urban oasis. THERE IS A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE GARDEN LEVEL AND UPSTAIRS.

BASEMENT

The full (but unfinished) basement has an extra washer/dryer and tons of storage.

Additional features of this stunning townhouse are central air and spectacular original details, and it's located on a beautiful tree-lined block in the heart of the Upper West Side, close to both Riverside and Central parks, convenient transportation, and many shops and restaurants.
