About This Home
Babe Ruth slept here! Own a piece of New York City sports history in this expansive three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom co-op once owned by the Yankees’ Sultan of Swat. Currently configured with two bedrooms, this residence offers a wealth of storage, handsome built-ins, and an exceptionally spacious layout that can easily accommodate the addition of a third bedroom (see floor plan).
A semi-private landing and gracious foyer welcome you inside this fine home, where high ceilings with recessed lighting soar above oak floors, tall baseboards and oversized windows on three exposures. A media niche with attractive paneling and cabinetry flanks the sunny south-facing living room. Off the entry, you’ll find a generous footprint for a dining area, or reimagine the space with a third bedroom or home office. In the beautifully designed contemporary kitchen, sleek white cabinetry, gray countertops and tile backsplashes surround state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances, including a vented gas range, side-by-side refrigerator and dishwasher. A wide breakfast bar welcomes casual meals, while the adjacent service entrance is finished with a closet, mudroom seating, floor-to-ceiling cabinetry and an in-unit washer-dryer for effortless arrivals and departures. A convenient powder room and large coat closet add convenience to the well-appointed living space.
Head to the primary bedroom suite to find a sprawling king-size bedroom with plenty of space for additional furnishings and a sitting area. Three closets, including a walk-in and linen cupboard, provide ample storage, while the en suite primary bathroom boasts an oversized tub/shower. A secondary bedroom suite with a roomy closet and private windowed bathroom completes this special New York City sports landmark.
Designed by notable architects Rouse & Goldstone in 1914, 345 West 88th is a stately Neo-Renaissance courtyard building in red and black brick with limestone trim. Babe Ruth and his family occupied the entire 7th floor between 1929 and 1940. During his storied career with the Yankees, The Bambino hit 659 home runs and led the team to seven World Series pennants. Today, this pet-friendly cooperative offers part-time doorman service, a live-in superintendent, laundry, and a community room with a lending library and ping pong table. Storage and bike storage are available for an additional fee. Subletting, pieds-a-terre, co-purchasing, guarantors and 80% financing are permitted with board approval.
Set on a tree-lined street near the corner of West End Avenue, this Riverside-West End Historic District home is surrounded by delightful architecture on all sides. Sprawling Riverside Park is just seconds from your front door, and Central Park sits just over a half-mile east. The renowned dining, nightlife and gourmet shopping of the Upper West Side are moments away, and access to transportation is excellent with 1/2/3 trains, excellent bus service and CitiBikes all nearby.
