Nestled on a picturesque, tree-lined block in the heart of the Upper West Side, 127 West 95th Street presents a rare opportunity for investors, developers, or end-users seeking a substantial renovation project. The building will be delivered completely vacant, offering immediate access and full flexibility to execute your vision from day one.

He enlisted the architectural firm William J. Merritt & Co., renowned for their refined and distinctive designs of the era. Today, this limestone and brick townhouse remains a proud remnant of that legacy ready to be restored and reimagined for modern living.

The home offers approximately 3,372 interior square feet, along with an additional 2,175 square feet of unused buildable potential. The property requires extensive renovation, presenting a true blank canvas for a buyer looking to undertake a full-scale transformation.

Currently configured as four free-market units, the property includes:

A 2-bedroom owners duplex with garden

One 1-bedroom apartment with a private terrace

Two studio apartments

Whether you are envisioning a grand single-family conversion, a high-end income-producing property, or a thoughtfully redesigned multi-family residence, the possibilities are substantial.

Located just one block from Central Park and moments from the 1, 2, 3, A, B, and C trains, as well as the vibrant dining and retail corridors of the Upper West Side, this is an exceptional opportunity to create something truly special in one of Manhattans most coveted neighborhoods.
