Property Description for 56 West 76th Street
Best Park Block Townhouse
Single-Family Buyers
This handsome five-story townhouse is located on one of the most desirable blocks on the Upper West Side. Central Park is only a few steps away. This lovely park block is tree-lined and almost completely townhouse-flanked. Currently configured as ten rental units, this townhouse needs only your creative touch to transform it into your ideal single-family mansion in an unbeatable location.
Nine of the ten units are free market with leases expiring in the next twelve months. Charming features such as exposed brick, decorative fireplaces with original wood-carved mantels, and bright natural light from the box front windows add value to these units. Should you choose to return this townhouse to its former glory as a single-family mansion, these details, including an original entryway mirror and an original wood-carved banister, could be easily restored to highlight the historic character of this building. The only rent-protected tenant is ideally located in a one-bedroom in the street-level front, so this would not interfere with your central stairs or construction if the tenant is not relocated. Most of the units are studios and one-bedrooms, but the top floor boasts a three bedroom, two bath duplex with two terraces a perfect future guest apartment. While a single-family home would be ideal, you could also opt to create an owners garden triplex. This solution would provide a spacious home plus $115,000 of income from the fourth and fifth floors.
The special quality of this house comes from its perfect location. Real Estate values are defined by location, location, location and West 76th Street is adorned by some of the most gorgeous townhouses in Manhattan. It is also surrounded by the innumerable attractions of the Upper West Side. The Museum of Natural History is only one block to the north; Lincoln Center and the Metropolitan Opera are an easy walk south. The dining and shopping of Columbus Avenue are less than a block away, balanced by the peace of Central Park. No matter what you desire, the best the city has to offer will be at your doorstep.

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.
