Located on a short and beautiful tree-lined block between Riverside Drive and West End Avenue, 324 West 80th Street is a rare 24-foot wide limestone townhouse, recently renovated with a brand new elevator. It offers over 8,000 square feet of living space with 6 bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms. Built in 1898-1899 by noted architect, Clarence True, this six-story home features a stunning Elizabethan Renaissance Revival style bow-front facade with Roman brick and limestone trim and a ceramic tile pitched roof. Inside, generous proportions and bright light abound.

The Entry Floor welcomes guests into a gracious reception gallery with modern ribbon fireplace and a magnificent cherry wood sculptural staircase. A library and guest bedroom with full bath are located in the rear in addition to a separate service entrance on the western front of the house.

The Parlor Floor boasts almost 11-foot ceilings and offers a formal living room that spans the entire width of the house. It features a gas fireplace with remote-starter and a built-in wet bar. The south-facing dining room, with original dentil molding and beamed ceiling, is ornamented by a Juliet balcony that overlooks the house garden through stained glass windows. A professional-grade windowed chef's kitchen services the dining room and boasts a separate stainless steel prep area with industrial kitchen faucet sprayer, glass Sub Zero refrigerator, separate Sub Zero beverage refrigerator, Viking range, Monogram double ovens with a separate warming drawer, and two Bosch dishwashers.
