Property Description for 338 West 71st Street

338 West 71st Street presents a rare opportunity to acquire a classic Upper West Side townhouse that is already well into an extensive renovation. Situated on one of the UWS's most desirable tree-lined blocks, on a rare cul-de-sac street, the home has been thoughtfully designed as an expansive single family residence spanning the upper four levels. The primary home features four generously proportioned bedroom suites, four full bathrooms, six modernized fireplaces, elegant bay windows, and charming historical characteristics throughout. The parlor floor serves as the heart of the home, offering spacious living and dining areas, bespoke under-stair storage, and a conveniently located powder room. The chef's kitchen was designed for effortless entertaining and is complemented by two private balconies. The second floor is configured as a luxurious residential level, anchored by a large primary suite with an ensuite bath and walk-in closet, alongside a sizable second bedroom and an additional full bathroom. The third floor offers exceptional flexibility with an additional two bedrooms, den/office, laundry room, and two full bathrooms. Crowning the residence, the fourth floor delivers a true penthouse experience. An open kitchen and dining area are framed by both north and south exposures, flooding the space with natural light throughout the day. The south-facing terrace captures rare open views stretching across the Upper West Side toward Lincoln Square, creating an exceptional indoor-outdoor retreat seldom found in townhouse living. The garden level, with its own entrance, provides remarkable flexibility as a contemporary complement to the historic residence above. Whether utilized as a private guest suite or income-producing residence, the thoughtfully designed two-bedroom layout includes two-and-a-half bathrooms, a modern kitchen, abundant storage, and direct access to a private landscaped garden. Below, the cellar provides generous storage, laundry facilities, and additional space ready to be customized. 338 West 71st Street offers the uncommon opportunity to acquire a historically significant residence that has already advanced through the most demanding stages of redevelopment while preserving the freedom to tailor the final details. The result is a home that seamlessly blends historic architecture with contemporary luxury—crafted to reflect the vision of its next owner.

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.
