317 West 71st Street

317 West 71st Street is a 17 foot wide, multifamily brownstone located on a quiet cul-de-sac block between West End Avenue and Riverside Blvd. Constructed in 1895 and designed by architect Frederick Friend, the property was the western-most house in an original row of six, two-bay, four-and-a-half story houses in the Renaissance Revival Style. The outer two houses in the row (No. 307 and No. 317) project slightly to serve as pavilions to the center four houses, which have gentle bowing at the second story. The property is currently configured as seven fair-market apartments of which four are vacant and three have relatively short-term leases. Each unit is separately metered for electric, and heat is provided by a gas-fired boiler. Located on one of the most tranquil blocks on the Upper West Side (and the neighborhood’s only cul-de-sac), 317 West 71st Street is ideal for investment, live-plus-income, or conversion to its originally intended use as a single-family home.
