Just east of Riverside Drive, the townhouse sits within a quiet stretch of West 74th Street. Riverside Park is a short walk west, connecting this address to the Hudson waterfront, leafy paths, and places to pause above the river.
Here, historic residential architecture and the daily pleasures of the Upper West Side meet.
Follow the paths beside Riverside Drive to lawns, overlooks, and the Hudson shoreline. The park gives this part of Manhattan an unusual sense of space: a place for a morning walk, a run along the water, or a sunset pause within minutes of home.
This stretch took shape as the Upper West Side developed in the 1890s. After the former New York Orphan Asylum sold its northern block, a group of owners commissioned Charles P. H. Gilbert to design a coordinated row of substantial 25-foot-wide houses. No. 313 remains one of its most distinctive façades.
A neighborhood of performance halls, museums, independent food traditions, and lively markets. Its avenues stay active while the side streets retain a quieter residential pace.
Café Luxembourg for a classic neighborhood brasserie; Tatiana at Lincoln Center for a destination dinner; and Barney Greengrass for an enduring New York appetizing experience.
Lincoln Center brings music, dance, opera, and film; the American Museum of Natural History anchors the neighborhood’s museum life; and the 79th Street Greenmarket and Grand Bazaar make weekend browsing a local tradition.
Riverside Drive leads north and south along the park, with the West Side Highway connecting to the wider city. A few blocks north, the entrance to the 79th Street Boat Basin opens onto the Hudson waterfront. For private aviation, the West 30th Street Heliport is farther down Manhattan’s West Side.
