Precious Gem in the rough waiting to be polished.... This sun-drenched, stately Queen Anne and Romanesque Revival brownstone, located on a quintessential quiet tree-lined townhouse block, in the Upper West Side-Central Park West . This sturdy rough gem was built in 1889 by renowned architect Edward L. Angell and developed by Joseph Turner. The row houses designed by Angell are varied and picturesque, featuring scalloped Flemish gables, distinctive decorative cornices, double height tripartite bay windows, wide arched entrances, textured stone, and various types of brick. Like the other rows in the Manhattan Avenue Historic District, no house is identical to its neighbor, but specific elements repeat to establish a sense of visual coherence. For instance, many of the houses feature projecting bay windows and rounded arch windows and doorways, and several have continuous brick facades. Each house was originally accessed by way of a conventional stoop, some of which have been removed or replaced. Much of the original ironwork is still in place at areaways, as well as beneath remaining stoops. Walk up the original wooden steps and be greeted by sun flooded spacious living room with working fireplace, 12 foot ceilings all while illuminated by the bay windows in the formal dining room. Comprised of three stories over one bedroom with a back yard basement apt, cherished original details can be found throughout that will please the most discerning. Climb the meticulously crafted stairs to the second floor landing and find a large master bedroom with 12 foot ceilings, full height windows and wood burning fireplace, a master suite with large bath and office room. Make your way to the third floor where you will find another two bedrooms and one grand sauna, bath and shower bathroom. Located on the stunning "Doctors Row" of Manhattan Avenue near popular transportation and world known Central Park. The home needs improvements so bring your architect with you and lets create your dream home! Sold as is! Amenities include near the subway (A,C, B, D) and a block from Central Park. The garden level is currently rented as a month to month tenant. The townhouse will be delivered vacant so it can be used as you wish. Certain restrictions apply "Landmark Building." Manhattan Avenue is a quiet, townhouse-lined side-street. ?Doctor?s Row? is nestled between Columbus Avenue and Central Park West, offering proximity to Central Park and a peaceful atmosphere rare on the busier streets. Because the block is Landmarked, no high-rise will ever obstruct the plentiful sunlight streaming into your windows from across the street. Incredibly low real estate taxes of $5073 per year. This is a fraction of what you would pay for other townhouses on the Upper West Side.--Selling "as is".
