Rarely does an entirely vacant, park block, 18-foot-wide Upper West Side townhouse of this scale become available.
328 West 88th Street is a distinguished Romanesque Revival townhouse designed by architect Ralph S. Townsend. Built approximately 70 feet deep on a 100-foot lot and offering approximately 6,000 square feet as currently configured, the property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a historic Upper West Side townhouse with exceptional flexibility for future use.
Delivered entirely vacant, the property offers the opportunity to create an expansive single-family residence of approximately 8,000 square feet. With its impressive scale, elegant proportions, and historic character, 328 West 88th Street provides an extraordinary canvas upon which to create a truly exceptional family home in one of Manhattan's most coveted residential neighborhoods.
The building is currently configured as nine rental apartments, allowing its next owner to immediately renovate or reimagine the property without the complexity of existing tenancies. Beyond a spectacular single-family conversion, buyers may also look to create a sophisticated live-with-income residence or a thoughtfully designed multi-generational home with separate private living spaces for family or friends.
The home retains a wealth of original architectural details, complemented by grand proportions, soaring ceilings, and abundant natural light. A sun-filled south-facing garden provides a rare private outdoor retreat, while the home's generous dimensions and 100-foot lot offer the scale and character sought in Manhattan's finest townhouse residences.
Situated on one of the Upper West Side's premier tree-lined townhouse blocks, where many neighboring homes have been meticulously restored as grand single-family residences, 328 West 88th Street is ideally located just moments from Riverside Park, acclaimed restaurants and shopping, top-rated schools, convenient public transportation, and the neighborhood's many cultural attractions.
Whether restored as a magnificent single-family residence or thoughtfully reimagined to suit a variety of residential uses, 328 West 88th Street represents a rare opportunity to create a legacy home on one of Manhattan's most desirable townhouse blocks.
