Description

RENOVATED 23' WIDE SINGLE FAMILY HOME WITH ELEVATOR

Owner financing available.

318 West 81st Street is a magnificent 23' wide, 6 story renovated single family home that sits on a tranquil Upper West Side block between West End Avenue and Riverside Drive. Designed by the renowned architect Clarence True, this Elizabethan Renaissance Revival house was built in 1898 along with 316-320 West 81st Street and 84-86 Riverside Drive. Lovely details pertinent to that time still remain throughout the home and are in excellent condition. With approximately 9,000 interior square feet, 910 square feet of outdoor space and six working fireplaces, this seven bedroom home is a beautiful blend of Renaissance design with updated modern luxuries.

The elevator runs from the garden level to the fifth floor of the home. This level also has a secondary service entrance for easy package delivery or additional storage.

The expansive living room on the parlor floor has gorgeous restored plaster details on the walls and ceiling and the adjacent dining room can seat up to eighteen people. The dining room has an adjacent butler's pantry with refrigerator, EdgeStar wine fridge, and two Miele burners making this home perfect for entertaining. The intricate original wood moldings in the dining room have been beautifully refurbished by a specialized craftsman.

Basement

The finished basement includes an abundance of storage, a laundry room, the home's mechanicals and a modest sleeping area in the back. For added convenience, there is a dumbwaiter that services the basement, garden and parlor levels.
