Description
489 West End Avenue is a Flemish Revival-style townhouse designed by architects Lamb & Rich and constructed in 1892. This property presents an opportunity to own a turnkey historic, income-producing townhouse in the heart of the Upper West Side. Currently configured as a five-unit multi-family residence, this stately property is in excellent condition and offers immediate investment value with all units occupied and generating consistent rental income, as well as flexibility for live-with-income use or eventual conversion to a single-family home. Spanning five stories plus a cellar, this elegant, turn-of-the-century townhouse showcases timeless architectural details and gracious proportions. Each of the five rental apartments is thoughtfully laid out, offering generous living space, ample natural light, in-unit laundry, and private outdoor access in two of the units. Positioned on a wide, tree-lined avenue and surrounded by landmarked townhouses and historic prewar buildings, 489 West End Avenue is nestled in one of the most tranquil and sought-after pockets of the Upper West Side. The building's orientation ensures an abundance of natural light throughout the day, and its location provides unparalleled access to Riverside Park, top-tier schools, and the cultural offerings of Lincoln Center, the American Museum of Natural History, and more.
