Coldwell Banker Warburg is pleased to present the exclusive offering of 132 West 73rd Street, a historic 4-story + basement brownstone located in the heart of Manhattan’s Upper West Side, just moments from Central Park. Built in 1884 by renowned architect James Edward Ware, this 5,580-square-foot property sits on a 1,635-square-foot lot between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues in a landmarked row of Neo-Grec residences. Currently configured as a legal 8-unit walk-up with a finished English basement and cellar, the property can be delivered vacant. It offers a rare opportunity for investors to reposition or convert the building.

Zoned R8B and Tax Class B4, the building benefits from lower taxes if converted to single-family use, enhancing its value proposition for owner-users. With a projected pro forma NOI of $282,094, investors may choose to re-lease units at market rents, adding upside to a fully renovated asset, or pursue conversion to condominium ownership or a high-end townhouse conversion, restoring its original grandeur.
