Overview

Located at 489 West End Avenue, this Flemish Revival-style townhouse, designed by architects Lamb & Rich, was constructed in 1892. The property is a turnkey historic, income-producing townhouse situated in the heart of the Upper West Side. Configured as a five-unit multi-family residence, this property is in excellent condition and offers immediate investment value with all units occupied and generating consistent rental income. It also provides flexibility for live-with-income use or eventual conversion to a single-family home. Spanning five stories plus a cellar, this turn-of-the-century townhouse showcases architectural details and proportions. Each of the five rental apartments is thoughtfully laid out, offering living space, natural light, in-unit laundry, and private outdoor access in two of the units. Positioned on a wide, tree-lined avenue and surrounded by landmarked townhouses and historic prewar buildings, 489 West End Avenue is nestled in one of the most tranquil and sought-after pockets of the Upper West Side. The building's orientation ensures an abundance of natural light throughout the day, and its location provides access to Riverside Park, schools, and the cultural offerings of Lincoln Center and the American Museum of Natural History.
