The brownstone is currently configured into four units: An Owner’s Duplex on the Parlor and Garden Levels; a 5-bedroom duplex on the 2nd/3rd Floors; and two 1-bedroom apartments on the 4th Floor. More than 6,000 square feet, with an additional 2,000 buildable square feet. MULTIPLE OPTIONS INCLUDE: Upgrade and maintain the building as four separate living spaces (with income potential); create a single-family residence with an elevator; or some combination thereof. The possibilities are endless, as this BUILDING WILL BE DELIVERED VACANT. Built in 1890, 144 W 80th is a Renaissance Revival design, faced in brownstone. Many original interior architectural details remain. During its early years, the house was inhabited by several well-to-do families, including a Hungarian Count and Countess. In 1980, the house was purchased by a family of authors, who would go on to write a series of best-selling books in the home offices they created in the building. ENTRANCE AND OWNER’S DUPLEX One enters this home by ascending the dog-legged stoop, through large oak doors, arriving in the foyer and the owner’s duplex. A carved oak staircase leads to the upstairs units. The parlor floor of the owner’s living quarters has 12’6" high ceilings, hardwood floors, exposed brick, majestic pocket doors, and a wood burning fireplace. From end to end, the seamless combination of living room, gallery and dining room spans a grand 51 feet. Off the dining room, a deck leads down to the tranquil garden, highlighted by mature shade trees, seasonal flowers, and a koi pond/ fountain. Upon descending the interior staircase, the garden level of the owner’s duplex features an oversized primary bedroom, with multiple closets and built-in cabinetry, and a spacious en-suite bathroom. Two additional bedrooms face the garden and share a hall bath. A front entry to the street offers a sheltered bicycle space, and separate areas for garbage, recycling and compost. The cellar currently contains a laundry room, office, and multiple storage areas. The 1,000 sq ft space could easily accommodate a gym, wine cellar, and more. 2ND/3RD FLOOR DUPLEX APARTMENT A soaring 10’ high exposed brick wall, a wood-burning fireplace, and a sculptural oak staircase are a few of the outstanding characteristics of this duplex unit. Large windows face the garden from the living room and den. A double-length galley kitchen opens to a light and airy dining room, offering a tree-lined street exposure. Another room and full bath (which could be used for guests or live-in help) lie adjacent to the dining room and are accessible through the dining room, as well as by a separate entrance. Upstairs, on the 3rd floor, is the primary bedroom, with a curved glass brick wall, wood-burning fireplace and ensuite bath. An outdoor dining terrace is just off the bedroom, as are multiple closets. A hallway leads to two bedrooms, with over-door transoms for additional light, and an open den. Also on this floor: a hall bathroom and a laundry/utility room. 4th FLOOR APARTMENTS The top floor has two one-bedroom apartments, each with a living room skylight, a separate kitchen, and bath with tub and shower. The bedrooms can easily accommodate a queen size bed plus a bureau and desk. ADDITIONAL BUILDABLE FLOORS With a 2,000-square foot FAR (floor area ratio), more livable space can be built on the roof! There are existing architectural plans for a penthouse apartment. Although these were previously approved by the Landmarks Comm., it would be necessary for a new owner to re-submit them.
