NOW PRICED AT $6, 900, 000! Welcome to 313 West 102nd Street, the epitome of townhouse living in one of the most exquisite blocks on the Upper West Side, just a stone's throw away from the Hudson River and steeped in rich architectural history.

This 20-foot wide, approx. 5, 100 sq. ft. , five-story townhome features a renovated rock-faced limestone facade with elegant new windows. It is part of a row of four upscale rowhouses commissioned in 1892 by developer Charles G. Judson on the north side of West 102nd Street, nestled between Riverside Drive and West End Avenue. These townhomes were designed by architect Clarence F. True, renowned for his French Gothic and Flemish Renaissance influences. Clarence F. True's deep appreciation for French Gothic architecture is reflected in the beautiful original details of the townhouse, such as its single-doored entrance featuring a scallop shell tympanum and intricate foliate carvings, as well as the striking French gargoyle crowning the fourth floor.

GARDEN LEVEL: Large, impressive windows open from the elegant dining room into a picturesque 45-foot-long backyard. The dining room seamlessly connects to the outdoors, allowing for perfect indoor/outdoor entertaining. The room features a working wood-burning fireplace and original wood herringbone floors. At the front of the house, nestled within a beautiful rock-faced limestone arch, is the expansive kitchen, which easily fits a large breakfast nook and an oversized island. Two large windows overlook the charming street and provide a view of the neighboring brownstones. In the middle of the floor, by the base of the staircase, is a charming sitting area currently housing a straight piano, as well as a powder room. The layout is completely open, offering unobstructed views from the front of the house to the backyard, throughout the dining area.

PARLOR LEVEL: Spectacular oversized French casement windows make a statement by opening onto a beautiful and tranquil terrace which overlooks the breathtaking landscaped backyard. Similar to the garden level, the parlor level of the house is entirely open, offering impressive volumes with 11-foot-two high ceilings and a multitude of windows. The living room features a beautiful working wood-burning fireplace, and original wood floors can be found throughout. Situated at the front of the house, a spacious office or TV den provides a charming view of the picturesque street.

The primary bedroom offers delightful garden views through its windows, while side windows enhance the room's luminosity. An expansive walk-in closet with its own window and a spacious bathroom adds to the overall serenity.
