The landscape of the Upper West Side has gone through many metamorphoses since the City’s �rst subway line opened along Broadway (formerly known as Bloomingdale Road and Western Boulevard) in 1904. The grand construction of the Dakota and San Remo helped bring attention to the Upper West Side as a place for opulent living. What was once known as a more rural section of Manhattan has turned into one of the most culturally robust and af�uent areas of the City. The elevated railway system that shadowed over the bustling commerce and empty lots of Columbus Avenue is now replaced with Lincoln Center, the Museum of Natural History, Time Warner Center and a myriad of stores and restaurants. With eight museums, three movie theaters, eight art galleries and �ve hospitals, the Upper West Side neighborhood continues to evolve and �ourish in support of its resident’s needs.

During the development boom of the Upper West Side in the late 1800s/early 1900s, the proli�c architect, Gilbert A. Schellenger was making his mark in Manhattan designing hundreds of residences and commercial lofts.

In 1891, Schellenger �nished a series of contiguous Queen Anne/Renaissance Revival townhouses on West 87th Street, between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue; number 38 is one in the series of �ve. Schellenger’s designs are known to have made a major impact and have a unifying characteristic amongst townhomes in the city.

It is very rare to own a part of New York City’s history in a home that maintains the integrity of its heritage while having all the latest modern conveniences of new construction. With this prime address off of Central Park, the sale of this turnkey residence presents a special opportunity.
