Coldwell Banker Warburg is pleased to present the exclusive offering of 132 West 73rd Street, a historic 5-story plus finished basement brownstone located in the heart of Manhattan's Upper West Side, just moments from Central Park.

(3,836 sq ft interior + 600 sq ft garden + 800 sq ft finished basement). CAN BE DELIVERED VACANT! Currently configured as a legal 8-unit walk-up, the property presents an exceptional opportunity for both investors and end-users.

Interior highlights include oak strip flooring, a grand original staircase, 10-foot ceilings, and a fully operational wet sprinkler system. As currently configured, 132 West 73rd offers a versatile unit mix of studios and one-bedrooms, along with a garden-level 2BR and a top-floor floor-through 2BR. Zoned R8B, the property also benefits from favorable tax treatment and redevelopment flexibility under its existing classification. With a projected pro forma NOI of $369,244, an owner or investor may re-lease units at market rents to enhance cash flow or pursue a high-end conversion, restoring this brownstone to its original grandeur. Situated within the Upper West Side / Central Park West Historic District, the property's architectural pedigree and historic context are complemented by proximity to Lincoln Center, Central Park, and multiple subway lines (1/2/3/B/C).
