39 West 95th Street

DESCRIPTION
39 West 95th Street is located on a tree-lined, townhouse block only a few steps from Central Park. Move into the owner’s luxury triplex today, and enjoy high ceilings, original woodwork, five bedrooms, and a spacious chef’s kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances. A timeless renovation has preserved gleaming parquetry, original fireplaces, built-in mirrors, and tall, sunny windows throughout this historic home.

This home offers short- and long-term potential. The luxury triplex is just the right amount of space for any end-user. The taxes remain reasonable in comparison with other UWS townhouses. And when the garden apartment becomes vacant, you will be able to create a luxury single-family townhouse on a desirable block for a fraction of what you would otherwise spend.

This brownstone is ideally located near Central Park, plus both local and express subways, cross-town buses and easy airport access. West 95th Street is considered one of the nicest Central Park blocks in the nineties, thanks to low traffic, graceful trees and well-kept townhouses. When the Park begins to bloom this spring you will truly appreciate why these park blocks’ value only continues to increase.

The adjoining dressing room occupies the entire center of the level with floor-to-ceiling closets.

Garden Level Unit
Garden Level: This floor-through one-bedroom is currently occupied by a rent-controlled tenant. This unit also enjoys access to the spacious rear garden. An existing interior staircase will make any future single-family renovation easy.

The garden is truly special: a picturesque floral arbor frames the path through raised brick planters. In the summer, roses abound. With 49 feet of depth and no building extension, this garden is a delight.
