Located on one of the most charming and architecturally distinctive blocks in the coveted Jumel Terrace Historic District, 438 West 162nd Street is a remarkable 19.5-foot-wide limestone townhouse offering approximately 4,000 square feet of interior space, plus an approximately 850-square-foot private south-facing garden.

Designed by architect Henry Fouchaux and built in 1896, this handsome bayed limestone residence blends Romanesque Revival and Classical architectural elements with a thoughtful modern renovation. The home retains an extraordinary collection of original period details, including six tiled fireplaces, ornate hand-carved woodwork, mahogany pocket doors, original cherry wood staircases, shutters, wainscoting, decorative ceilings and friezes, and beautifully detailed wood banisters.

Modern updates complement the historic interiors, including two beautifully designed Leicht European kitchens with concrete countertops and updated bathrooms finished with elegant marble. Three grand skylights on the top floor bring additional light into the home, while soaring ceilings reaching approximately 12 feet and generous proportions create an impressive sense of scale throughout.

Spanning four substantial floors, the property offers six bedrooms and three full bathrooms. It is currently configured as two separate residences, with a private garden-level apartment and an expansive upper residence occupying the remaining floors. This layout provides tremendous flexibility for an owner seeking substantial living space together with a separate apartment for extended family, guests or potential rental income.

The existing Certificate of Occupancy reflects SRO use. The owner is currently in the process of amending the Certificate of Occupancy to two unit use.

The approximately 850-square-foot south-facing garden provides a rare private retreat with ample room for dining, entertaining, gardening and outdoor living.
