266 West 71st Street

This late 19th century Victorian era townhouse has been in the same family for nearly four decades. It is ideally located on a tree-lined residential street between Amsterdam and West End Avenues. Nearly 17 feet wide, on a lot over 100 feet deep, the house spans approximately 4,584 square feet including a finished cellar and boasts much of the original architectural detail in perfectly restored condition along with period appropriate additions, which blend perfectly into this one-of-a-kind-home. This fully restored property is rich with architectural details including wainscoting, custom cabinetry throughout, and a painstakingly restored oak staircase. The current owners have imported and installed numerous solid wood doors from an old English pub and created skylights and internal windows from antique stained glass. There are three floor-through apartments and a garden level duplex all luxuriously designed and each with its own renovated and well-appointed kitchen and a full bathroom. Both working and decorative fireplaces are throughout the home, several of which are adorned with the original mantles and glazed tile surround. The generously sized eat-in kitchen is located on the garden level along with a home office with direct access to the planted and serene garden complete with a pond. There is also a private terrace on the parlor floor, which overlooks the garden. The basement of this home is clean, dry, and fully finished. This historic location is a sought after Upper West Side treasure. Central Park, Riverside Park and Lincoln Center are just steps away. This vibrant neighborhood is filled with exciting restaurants and shopping for all of your needs including Fairway, Citarella, Trader Joes, and Zabars. There is also convenient access to all modes of public transportation.
