Description

Reintroducing 323 West 80th Street, a historic 43-foot-wide brick and limestone mansion encompassing 11,670 square feet. Distinguished by a rare curb cut, indoor garage and private roof deck, this former Gilded Age mansion offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to craft a masterpiece.

This landmarked home has been owned by the same family for the past 55 years and is now back on the market, delivered fully vacant and priced to sell. Completed in 1897 by the renowned builder and architect Clarence True, the residence is a striking example of the Elizabethan Renaissance Revival style. The façade commands attention on the block, preserving the artisan craftsmanship and design details of a bygone era.

Spanning six stories and 31 rooms plus full basement, the property stands as the epitome of New York City’s historic architecture, offering a breadth of space simply unheard of in the townhouse market. The sprawling layout is connected by an elevator serving all floors. Currently configured as nine apartments, the interior volume is nothing short of breathtaking. The crown jewel of the current configuration is the owner’s duplex, which centers around a dramatic double-height salon. This space captures the essence of the home's potential, where soaring ceilings and original details provide a backdrop for what could become one of the city's most spectacular entertaining levels.

Ascending through the upper levels, the sheer width of the lot allows for a configuration impossible in standard townhouses. Crowning the mansion is an expansive roof deck garden, a private sanctuary perched above the city with views of the historic district.

Perhaps the most coveted feature is the private indoor garage, a true rarity that offers the ultimate in convenience and privacy. Below, a full-height basement provides ample space for a home gym, wine cellar, and robust mechanical storage, ensuring the functional needs of a home of this magnitude are effortlessly met. The infrastructure offers limitless potential to be reimagined as a colossal single-family residence or a luxury investment property.

Situated on a beautiful tree-lined block within the Riverside-West End Historic District, the home is moments from Riverside Park and the cultural fabric of the West 80s. Residents enjoy immediate access to Zabar’s, world-class dining, and the city’s most prestigious schools. Ready for its next chapter, this is a rare invitation to own a piece of history and shape its future.
Shown by private appointment only and priced to sell.
