Prime UWS Museum park block gem - with priceless heritage! Own a piece of New York City's quintessential and rich history. This glorious 19' landmarked brownstone, designed by world-renowned Spanish architect and building engineer Rafael Guastavino, is nestled on one of the UWS's most highly sought-after, tree-lined blocks. Completed in 1886 in the Renaissance Revival style, the "Albert Lilienthal House" currently comprises a spacious owner's triplex on its first three floors, two two-bedroom apartments on the building's fourth and fifth floors, as well as a ground floor studio apartment. In addition to the owner’s triplex, all three market-rate rental apartments will be delivered vacant. This offering presents a prime opportunity for a savvy investor or could even provide a multi-generational family compound, all while its owner resides graciously in a three bedroom, three and a half bathroom home. Alternatively, one may choose to explore restoring the home to its majestic, single family roots. This multi-family brownstone, encompassing an impressive 5, 139 square feet, offers a harmonious blend of classic architectural charm and modern convenience. Owner's Triplex: Upon entering through the home's private gated entrance, just below its gracious dog-legged front stoop, one is soon greeted by the charm and warmth of exposed brick and the grandeur of soaring wainscot ceilings in the family room. The three bedroom triplex layout, featuring its graceful curved stairs, seamlessly connects the home's two open, spacious, light-filled main living areas, each adorned with a blend of hardwood and ceramic floors. On the first floor, the casement windowed kitchen is a culinary haven, equipped with a Sub-Zero refrigerator and stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher, and a high? glass-ceilinged, delightfully sunlit dining area. Whether preparing a gourmet meal or enjoying a family breakfast, this chef's eat-in kitchen provides the perfect setting. The dining area off the kitchen also boasts a perfect little office "nook" - ideal for paying bills or for a child doing homework close by, while dinner is being prepared. A powder room is nestled just off of the entryway to the first floor's family room, where one may also step outside to the serene patio, an ideal space for relaxation or entertaining guests. The second ?"parlour" floor comprises the home's main living room, a bedroom and full bathroom, as well as a spacious solarium-esque home office. Light streams in all day long, not only through the office's large, east-facing casement window but also through its glorious glass-paneled ceiling. The similarly light-filled living room radiates character, boasting soaring ceilings, a fireplace, as well as a massive, south-facing casement window and an impressive wall of elegant built-ins. One flight up, the primary bedroom suite is situated on the triplex's third floor. The primary bedroom's three ample windows face south and flood the room with lovely natural light, and this bedroom also features a generous walk-in closet, as well as an ensuite bathroom with a bathtub. On the opposite side of this floor are yet another bedroom and full bathroom. This bedroom "suite" features its own separate sitting area, which can also easily be converted to a cozy nursery or small home office.

Its bathroom is conveniently tucked away down the hall and includes a bathtub. The fourth and fifth floor apartments are accessed through the entrance at the top of the brownstone's stoop, at the parlour floor. Similarly laid-out, each unit boasts a spacious living room, with lovely windows facing West 78th Street's glorious landmarked, architecturally pleasing brownstones right across the way.
