393 Convent AvenueNew York, NY 10031

Exceptional in both scale and character, this grand 23-foot-wide semi-detached townhouse offers a rare combination of historic architecture, beautifully preserved original detail, and thoughtfully updated modern living. Set on a quiet corner along one of Hamilton Heights' most picturesque stretches of Convent Avenue, the home has a presence and sense of grandeur that is increasingly difficult to find in the uptown townhouse market.

Throughout the residence, remarkable original woodwork and architectural details have been carefully preserved and restored, from the grand staircase and window surrounds to the fireplaces and millwork. These historic elements are balanced by renovated kitchens and bathrooms, central air, and updated systems, creating a home that retains the warmth and character of a classic New York townhouse while offering the comforts of contemporary living.

The home offers approximately 5,200 square feet above grade, with more than 6,500 square feet including the finished basement. Its rare 23-foot width is immediately apparent in the generously proportioned rooms, while its semi-detached corner position brings additional exposures, natural light and a wonderful sense of openness throughout.

Configured as a 1-unit residence, the garden level offers exceptional flexibility with its own full kitchen, living area and two additional rooms. The current owners have used this level as an in-law suite, with one of the rooms converted into an oversized walk-in closet. Because the garden level remains internally connected to the rest of the residence, it can function seamlessly as part of the home while providing a private and comfortable space for extended family or guests.

The finished basement adds yet another dimension to the home, with a recreation and media area, half bath, and ample additional space for fitness equipment, storage, and other uses. Upstairs, a dedicated room adjacent to the primary suite is currently configured as a home gym.

At the top of the house, an interior staircase provides direct access to the roof, creating an extraordinary opportunity for a future finished rooftop space with sweeping views, subject to applicable approvals and requirements.

With its exceptional scale, rare width, corner setting, preserved architectural detail, and modern updates, this is a truly distinctive residence and one of the more compelling townhouse offerings in the uptown market.
