302 West 102nd Street, 3

Take a step back into NYC history at 302 West 102nd Street – an expansive 25’ wide landmark townhouse originally constructed in 1884 by famous architect Ralph Townsend. At the time, real estate developers were beginning to heavily invest in the Upper West Side as public transportation, street lighting and sewers were all recently introduced to the area. Townsend, then 30 years old, bought the lot and transformed it into a home like no other. The charming four-story red brick building was designed primarily in the Queen Anne style, but with unique one of a kind touches such as a deep paneled two-doored entrance, asymmetrical dormers and an eccentric facade – all of which are still intact. Today, the residence has been divided into 4 spacious floor-through cooperative apartments. Unit 3, just two flights up, will welcome you home with its soaring 11’ ceilings, original parquet floors and an expansive layout featuring a large living room, a king sized bedroom with two lighted closets and a bonus room just off the bedroom. The windowed kitchen is well appointed with a gas range, full sized refrigerator, dishwasher and washer & dryer and the white tiled bathroom features a shower stall and a pedestal sink. Sunlight streams in from its oversized windows offering both northern and southern exposure as well as gorgeous views of the tree-lined street. This pet friendly building is perfectly nestled on West 102nd Street between Riverside Drive and West End Avenue where you’ll enjoy the fresh river breezes and the serenity of Riverside Park. Conveniently located just off Broadway, you’ll be just a quick walk to the subway at 102nd Street and all of the offerings of the Upper West Side.
