- Fully Renovated Four-Family Townhouse | All Fair-Market Rentals - Pied-à-Terre Tax-Protected Ownership - Additional Development Potential with Available FAR - Prime Townhouse Block Live in the owner's duplex while generating substantial income from three market-rate apartments. The rental units have historically achieved rents approximately 30% higher than many comparable neighborhood properties, creating a rare opportunity to offset ownership costs while enjoying the benefits of townhouse living. Even more appealing, as a four-family income-producing property, ownership is not subject to New York City's new pied-à-terre tax, making it an ideal option for part-time residents seeking a Manhattan home without the additional annual surcharge. Nestled on a picturesque, tree-lined townhouse block in the heart of Kips Bay, this impeccably renovated four-family townhouse seamlessly blends timeless New York character with modern comfort and exceptional income-producing potential. Just half a block from Trader Joe's and Fairway Market and moments from Midtown Manhattan, the property offers a rare opportunity to own a turnkey asset in one of the city's most convenient and vibrant neighborhoods. The centerpiece of the building is the expansive owner's garden duplex—a truly special three-bedroom residence featuring approximately 800 square feet of private outdoor space and a custom cedar sauna. Designed for both comfortable living and effortless entertaining, the home's spacious great room is filled with natural light from oversized windows and a skylight, while exposed brick walls and decorative fireplaces add warmth and character. The open-concept kitchen with pass-through seating creates a seamless connection between the living and dining areas. Upstairs, the tranquil primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with hardwood floors, a decorative fireplace, and direct access to a large terrace overlooking the beautifully landscaped garden. The spa-inspired ensuite bathroom, highlighted by the cedar sauna, provides a luxurious escape rarely found in Manhattan townhouses. Additional conveniences include an in-unit washer/dryer and abundant storage throughout. Above the duplex, three full-floor residences each offer approximately 850 square feet of thoughtfully renovated living space. These bright one-bedroom apartments feature soaring 10-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, generous closet space, and oversized north- and south-facing windows that flood the interiors with natural light. Open kitchens provide abundant cabinetry and functionality, while renovated bathrooms feature classic subway tile, contemporary vanities, and glass-enclosed showers. Each apartment is further enhanced by its own washer and dryer. The top-floor residence is particularly noteworthy, featuring a working fireplace and two oversized skylights that create an airy, loft-like atmosphere. The roof has been structurally reinforced with steel beams and is already equipped with gas, water, and electric connections, presenting an exceptional opportunity to create a spectacular private roof deck with sweeping Manhattan skyline views.
