Property Description for 36 West 88th Street, 4

Divine park block duplex with a huge private roof deck is now available for the first time in decades. This exceptional and rare two bedroom, two bathroom property is one of a kind. As you step inside, you are greeted by 22-foot high ceilings illuminated by skylights, that is the perfect spot for dining. Located in a 23 foot wide Renaissance Revival townhouse built circa 1887, the duplex spans the top two full floors, offering approximately 1,300 square feet of living space plus an incredible 425-square-foot roof deck—the perfect backdrop for entertaining or soaking in the open views. The thoughtful split-bedroom layout maximizes privacy. The north-facing primary bedroom is impressive, featuring soaring 10’3” ceilings, four large windows, a wall of closets, and an oversized en-suite bathroom. The sun-drenched second bedroom, with southern exposure, exudes warmth and comfort. Other pluses on this level are the second full bathroom and the convenience of an in-unit, vented washer/dryer. Go straight up the stairs to the expansive living room with soaring 12-foot ceilings that looks out to the glorious roof deck, offering a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. Don’t miss the opportunity to transform this oasis into your own vision of perfection. You might want to bring your architect. 36 West 88th Street, situated on a classic tree lined, brownstone block in the Upper West Side-Central Park West Historic District is just a short half block to Central Park, close to Museums, subways, buses, great restaurants and fabulous food shopping.

Upper West Side | Manhattan

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.
