248 West 71st Street is a 20' wide, single-family, elevator townhouse designed in 1892 by noted architects Thom and Wilson. Located on a beautiful tree-lined street, this Renaissance Revival style home features 5 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, a home office, library, unfinished basement, and two fireplaces. Significant historical elements remain including original shutters, stained glass windows, banisters and millwork, full core doors adorned with original hardware, and unique ceiling and baseboard moldings. Outstanding ceiling heights range from over 10’ to 12' throughout the house. A 20’ x 25’ South facing garden is accessible from both the ground and parlor floors and is surrounded by lush neighboring gardens. The house is in need of a renovation with the exception of the electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, which have been updated. A historical photo from the city's municipal archives shows an original front stoop if a buyer wishes to resurrect it.
