Description
259 West 90th St is a fully free-market, legal 4 family, Renaissance Revival townhouse with a ground floor triplex and large courtyard, two studios, and a recently renovated three bedroom duplex with a private terrace. Both the triplex and duplex can make great owner's units and the property works well for an end user or as a rental investment property. The building is fully occupied with great rental income from day one and the building's 2016 certificate of occupancy (CO) makes the building exempt from Good Cause Eviction until 2046. The building also enjoys the tax benefits of being tax class 2B which caps property tax increases.
The basement and first 2 floors of the townhouse were originally the owner's residence, encompassing over 2,500 sqft of interior living space and nearly 500 sqft of private outdoor space. The space could be configured in several different ways including four bedrooms with a living area and rec room, or three bedrooms with separate living, dining, and rec rooms, or three beds plus a den/office/library. The apartment enjoys expansive closet and storage space, a five-piece master bathroom including a steam shower and whirlpool tub, a sauna, GE Profile and Bosch appliances including wine fridge, a separate kitchenette in the rec room, a washer & dryer in unit, and a large atrium with walk-in coat closet.
Unit 4 is configured as a 3 bedroom, 3 bath floor-through owner's duplex apartment with a terrace. Among the special features of this apartment are over-sized windows, several skylights, ceilings as high as 10', and an in-unit washer/dryer. The open kitchen includes island seating, stainless appliances, and a full size dishwasher, while the generously sized living space has a separate windowed nook perfect for a home office or additional sitting area. The master suite has a spacious en-suite bathroom with a heated towel rack and benefits from a quiet location and good storage space. The second and third bedrooms are also pleasantly quiet with a private terrace off of the east bedroom.
3F and 3R are spacious, loft-like studios with oversized windows, high ceilings, and separate kitchens. Both have enough room to have distinct areas for sleeping, sitting, eating, etc. and the alcove in 3F is wide enough for a queen bed or separate sitting or home office.
The building will be delivered fully occupied. A building Setup Sheet and Rent Roll are available upon request.
259 w 90th is close to all the shopping, dining and amenities of Broadway as well as both Riverside Park and Central Park.
