59 West 70th Street

JLL has been retained on an exclusive basis to arrange for the sale 59 West 70th Street, a twenty (20) foot wide brownstone designed by Charles Buek & Co. (Astor Row) and constructed in 1890-91. Located on the north side of West 70th Street between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue, No. 59 is part of an original row of four (Nos. 57, 59, 61 and 63) featuring a five-story rear extension, an exceptionally bright rear garden and a penthouse addition.

The Renaissance Revival style rowhouse is currently divided into five expansive fair-market floor-through apartments which will be delivered vacant. Layouts consist of a two-bedroom/two-bath garden duplex with finished basement recreation room, three 3-bedroom/2-bath apartments on the second through fourth levels, and a huge 4-bedroom/3-bath Penthouse Unit with spacious outdoor terraces both front and rear. In addition, each apartment is serviced by its own dedicated gas-fired boiler and hot water heater providing individually controlled heating.

The possibilities that come with an offering of this distinction are endless: the ability to create a light-filled, luxurious, twenty (20) foot wide mansion; a live + income opportunity featuring an owner’s unit with additional rental apartments; or maintaining the current configuration as an investment property.

Ideally situated in the heart of the Upper West Side on one of the neighborhood’s most desirable tree-lined blocks just steps from Central Park, Museums, Premier Schools, Public Transit, and Lincoln Center, 59 West 70th Street represents a truly exceptional offering, ideal for conversion to a single family home, live-plus-income, or continuation as a first-class rental property. It’s immediate neighbor to the west, 61 West 70th Street is also being offered for sale from the same owner.
