Contractor's dream!! This blank canvas in need of total gut renovation, was started on, but due to circumstances, work was halted and now awaits your continuation to create your own dream; either renovating back to 5 separate apartments or creating one large private residence or a combination of both primary residence and income producing apartments in prime Carnegie Hill. Originally designed by the notable architectural firm of Hubert, Pirsson and Co. in the Queen Anne style, 146 E 89th Street is one of six picturesque houses (146-156) that remains from a original group of ten. The row of ten was originally built for William Rhinelander, one of New York's oldest and wealthiest landlords in the 18th and 19th centuries, in 1886-87. The Queen Anne style, which characterizes this row of houses, is an American variant of the interpretation of early 18th century English brick architecture. Built of brick with stone and terra cotta trim, all the homes in the row feature imbricated slate mansard roofs pierced by dormers. No. 146, the first house of the row, is wider than all the rest, slightly over 20 ft. in width and designed with a distinctive partial setback creating an L-shaped floor plan. This visually maintains the proportions of the other houses that adjoins No. 146. The first floor is divided into two apartments: the front unit being a one bedroom duplex while the rear unit is comprised of a two bedroom duplex with access to a private south facing garden. The 2nd and 3rd floors each contain a floor through 2 bedroom unit with a private balcony attached to the rear unit on the 3rd floor. The 4th floor is a 2 bedroom duplex with adjoining annex on the upper level and roof deck access.
This is an extremely rare opportunity to acquire an entirely free market building in the Carnegie Hill neighborhood featuring tremendous character, has light and air on three sides , original fireplaces, and a south facing garden.
