There's no need to venture further once you've seen this unique opportunity to own a beautiful "period piece" without spending the excessive amounts of time, effort and money so often needed to restore such a Grande Dame to her original glory. With just a moderate effort and some personal touches the next owner will have a truly remarkable home.
Built during the 1890's, the original developer Bernard S. Levy, and architect Charles Israels set out to erect six substantial residences along a prime upper westside block between West End Avenue and Riverside Drive. Expressing the best in late American Victorian design, their decision to also revisit some stylistic elements that had become so popular during the Gothic Revival of two generations earlier was visionary.
Today, at 313 West 80th Street, examples of both styles remain present, and in abundance!
A list of features includes 5 fireplaces--each with its own unique mantel; built-in cabinetry, panelling, inlaid floors, window frames, shutters and doors constructed from a variety of woods including oak, quarter oak, ash and red mahogany; also, chandeliers; sconces; stained glass windows and transoms...frankly, the works; and all are ready to be enjoyed by whoever is willing to invest in a modest restoration.
As to location...it's hard to beat: half a block to Riverside Park and one-and-a-half blocks to Zabar's!
This townhouse is being delivered clean and vacant, the walls have a base coat waiting for your color scheme, some wood details have already been stripped, semi-stripped or finished, there's a Central AC system installed for the first two floors, and all the other mechanicals are in excellent working order.
Owned by the same
family for over 65 years and designated as "Landmark" in 1989, this
Princess soon to be a Queen is viewable anytime--just call for an
appointment.
