    What's special

    A Stately and Stunning 4-Unit Limestone Townhouse Surrounded by the Best of New York's Culture All Units are Free-Market | Situated on a 20x102' Lot | Building Setup Available Built in 1887, the Edmund P. Shelby house retains much of its pre-war detail on both the interior and exterior with beautiful Gothic, Queen Anne, and Moorish facade elements. The interiors feature hand-carved mahogany wood, four fireplaces, crown molding, hardwood floors, exposed brick, historic light fixtures, and decorative windows. Positioned on the south side of West 74th Street, all five floors receive an abundance of natural sunlight and feature ceiling heights that stretch between 11'6" and 13" throughout the four units. The property has been wonderfully maintained under the same stewardship for five decades-- with the mechanicals, plumbing, electric, and roofing all being updated in recent years. Offering an ideal and straightforward floor plan for end-users, pied a terre owners and investors, this home can remain as an income-generating asset or be converted into a 2-unit or 3-unit property, or transformed into a single-family townhouse. All 4 units are in great condition, and additional information can be found on the set up: UNIT 1 | Garden Duplex + Cellar | 3BD 2BA The owner's duplex features grand pre-war detail and ornamentation, 12'8" ceilings, central AC on the parlor level, access to the backyard from both the living room and primary suite, washer/dryer, oversized windows, mahogany paneling, crown molding, original floors, historic light fixtures, and surround sound. The primary bedroom offers an ensuite bathroom, mahogany-lined closets, and ample space for a dressing room, sitting area or office. UNIT 2 | Full-Floor | 2BD 1BA A beautiful and serene apartment with tree-lined views, 11'6" ceiling heights, oversized windows, direct sunlight, and a fireplace. The kitchen is equipped with a Sub-Zero refrigerator and dishwasher. UNIT 3 | Full-Floor | 2BD 1BA Filled with character, this home offers 12'3" ceiling heights, charming exposed brick, tree-lined views and a brick fireplace. The custom-shaped windows create a lovely contrast between the interior architecture and the exterior streetscape. The kitchen is equipped with a Sub-Zero refrigerator and dishwasher. UNIT 4 | Full-Floor | 2BD 1BA Featuring a large skylight and oversized windows, this stunning space has 12'6" ceilings, exposed brick, treetop views, and a brick fireplace. The kitchen is equipped with a Sub-Zero refrigerator and dishwasher. One of the most sought-after blocks on the Upper West Side, this charming townhouse sits on the same street as Levain Bakery, Leyla, Patsy's, Crumbl, Omakase Shihou, and Salumeria Rosi, and is surrounded by supermarkets including Trader Joe's, Morton Williams, and Pioneer. The neighborhood is rich with culture, as the Beacon Theatre, Museum of Natural History, and the New York Historical Society are all just moments away. Both Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues are lined with cafes, bars, speakeasies, specialty retail and thrift shops. Access to the 1, 2, 3, B, and C subway lines are within two blocks.
