Description
50 West 88th Street is a classic Upper West Side brownstone designed by the architects Thom & Wilson in the Renaissance Revival, Romanesque and Gothic Revival styles in 1889. With 20' of width, a large south-facing garden, and 10 free market units, this townhouse offers endless possibilities. The high free market rent roll offers a lucrative investment opportunity. Given the abundance of light and air, stunning original details, 20' of width, and free market status of the units allowing them to be delivered vacant, the property is ideal for conversion to a luxurious single-family home, or to create a large owner's duplex or triplex with income from units above. This property is located steps away from Central Park on one of the most picturesque, tree-lined townhouse blocks in the West 80s, as well as being situated in close proximity to some of the best dining, schools and retail the City has to offer.
