Overview

Originally constructed in 1895 by architect J.W. Davison, this 18-foot-wide townhouse at 306 West 78th Street is the third of four townhouses designed in the Renaissance Revival style. The property features a modern, light-filled owner's duplex and seven additional rental units, encompassing approximately 5,648 square feet of interior space. The building's strong rent roll and renovated owner's unit with outdoor space provide flexibility. The property is suitable for conversion to a single-family residence, use by a live-in owner seeking to offset expenses with rental income, or acquisition by an investor completing a tax-free exchange. Situated on a tree-lined block near Riverside Park, 306 West 78th Street is located close to schools, restaurants, retail, and cultural institutions on the Upper West Side.
