Property Description for 140 West 75th Street
DESCRIPTION
140 West 75th Street is ready to become one of this city's premier residences. Its
whopping 21 feet of width earns it a place among the most sought-after townhouses in
Manhattan. It already boasts 6,926 interior square feet, not counting the cellar level.
There is enough remaining FAR to build approximately 3,400 additional square feet,
according to PropertyShark, pending zoning and historic district regulations. Consult your
architect. The approximately 600-square-foot, south-facing garden is to die for. The
moment you step outside you are sure to fall in love. Best of all, the house is fully
renovation-ready. Appropriate paperwork to vacate the house has been obtained by the
current owner. It can be delivered vacant, allowing you to start plans for construction
almost immediately.
This is your opportunity to join the elite club of Upper West Side single-family elevator
townhouse owners, by investing only a fraction of what you would pay for a finished home
of this caliber. Finished homes of this width on the Upper West Side have consistently
tickled the $20 million mark. These West 70s blocks have proven especially valuable.
Here on West 75th Street, number 22 sold for $18,850,000 - a house that was the same
width as 140 West 75th Street. 26 West 76th Street and 47 West 70th Street both sold
for over $19 million when finished, and 47 West 70th Street was a foot narrower than
140 West 75th Street. Market indications confirm that this home has the potential for a
similar sale price, once it is fully finished as a deluxe elevator single-family mansion.
Investors know that even if you invest $3.5 million in a deluxe renovation, you will still be
positioned to potentially make millions upon resale.
The Upper West Side is a major intellectual, artistic, and cultural center of Manhattan.
Stretching from Central Park West to Riverside Drive, and from 59th Street to 110th
Street, the Upper West Side famous for being the preferred home of artists, celebrities, and
well-known personalities like Jerry Seinfeld, Itzhak Perlman, Yoko Ono and Bono, among
hundreds more.
Why do the most illustrious artists and entertainers in the world choose to call the Upper
West Side home? Simply because the neighborhood offers the best of everything. Not only
does it rival the Upper East Side when it comes to natural amenities (in addition to
celebrated Central Park, the West Side also boasts Riverside Park, a four-mile stretch of
idyllic greenery with breathtaking Hudson River views, and Morningside Park, a thirteenblock
sanctuary complete with sheer cliffs and waterfalls) but the Upper West Side offers
more world-class cultural and musical events than any other neighborhood in the United
States. Music-lovers can hear the most famous musicians in the world at Lincoln Center's
Metropolitan Opera and Avery Fisher Hall. Hear tomorrow's greatest voices at Julliard's
daily, drop-in performances. The Manhattan School of Music and Mannes are nearby.

Upper West Side | Manhattan
Quick Profile
Bracketed on its east and west borders by massive city parks, the Upper West Side (UWS) is known for its greenery, stately and elegant townhomes, safe streets and great schools, all of which make it a very desirable neighborhood for families. The UWS has maintained its community feeling, making it attractive to young professionals and retirees, both of whom want a sense of belonging in the place they call home.
Here you’ll find many apartment buildings, especially those along Central Park West. Historic architecture abounds, anchored by four luxury co-ops - the San Remo, Majestic, Century and Eldorado apartments - all of which have two towers on their interiors. They were built in the 1930s and their design was predicated on a 1929 building code that imposed a height limit on residences facing the street. There are also impressive row houses near Riverside Drive throughout the W 70 and 80 Streets. Above the 90s, you will find smaller buildings where walk-ups are very reasonably priced.
There are several world-class museums and venues dedicated to the performing arts. Plentiful dining can be found in the UWS. You will find everything from quaint Jewish delis serving up bagels and a schmear to sophisticated fine dining that has earned multiple Michelin stars, and everything you could possibly want in between. There is also abundant shopping and a vibrant nightlife.
