A Rare 25-Foot-Wide Upper West Side Mansion

Extraordinary in scale, construction, and architectural presence, 313 West 74th Street is an exceptional Upper West Side residence offering approximately 11,000 square feet of interior space behind an impressive 25-foot-wide limestone facade.

Its extraordinary width creates expansive floor plates, grandly proportioned rooms, impressive ceiling heights, and a sense of openness rarely found in a Manhattan townhouse. Behind the limestone exterior, steel-and-concrete construction provides a level of substance and structural integrity equally uncommon in a historic residence.

Inside, remarkable original craftsmanship defines the home. Richly carved wood paneling, substantial moldings, decorative columns, intricate parquet floors, stained glass, elaborate fireplace surrounds, and custom built-ins are preserved throughout. The formal living and dining rooms are particularly striking, with ornate fireplaces, extensive millwork, and a dramatic coffered wood ceiling.

A sweeping staircase connects the home’s multiple levels, complemented by a private elevator for effortless access throughout.

The expansive chef’s kitchen features custom cabinetry, stone countertops, a substantial center island, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and generous informal dining space. Two outdoor grills extend the kitchen outdoors, offering a rare setting for open-air cooking and entertaining in Manhattan.

The home provides exceptional flexibility, with generously scaled bedrooms and spaces for guests, staff, offices, fitness, and recreation. A dedicated screening and media room adds a true private-cinema experience.

At the top of the residence, a window-wrapped entertaining room opens onto an expansive private roof terrace, where western exposures offer views toward the Hudson River and create an exceptional sense of light, sky, and openness.

Located moments from Riverside Park, 313 West 74th Street combines extraordinary scale, a 25-foot-wide limestone facade, steel-and-concrete construction, exceptional historic craftsmanship, a private elevator, chef’s kitchen, screening room, outdoor entertaining spaces, and Hudson River views.

More than a townhouse, 313 West 74th Street is a true Upper West Side mansion—combining the scale and privacy of a private residence with the craftsmanship of historic New York and the comforts of contemporary Manhattan living. Listing courtesy of Blu Realty Group ...
