Villa/Townhouse Manhattan United States

25 WIDE MANSION ON THE BEST BLOCK ON THE UPPER WEST SIDE This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a grand and stunning mansion in a highly coveted location, on a prime park block that is home to the Upper West Sides finest townhomes. The magnificent French Renaissance style facade is in excellent condition, and the interior walls have been mostly removed, highlighting the incredible proportions of the original mansion. At 25 wide, 6 above grade floors, and with ceilings up to 14 tall, this sun-filled townhome is perfect for entertaining or living. The parlor floor is large enough to accommodate a grand living room, dining room and spacious kitchen all on one floor. The 1075 SF roof deck features panoramic views in all directions of wide open sky, the New York Historical Society, the San Remo, and a side view of Central Park. Originally built in 1898 and designed by the architecture firm Cleverdon & Putzel, this townhome requires renovation and is priced accordingly. After a decade long search, the townhome was purchased by a prominent family with a renowned art collection for use as a private gallery. The stunning and spacious townhome could easily serve as a home for a school, foundation, or institution. A stone throw away from Central Park and one block from the Museum of Natural History, this townhome is in the heart of the best of Upper West Side dining, cafes and shopping.
