Property Description
A property without equal: the most significant single-family townhouse ever offered for sale on the Upper West Side. Just off of Central Park, 48-50 West 69th Street is a residence that evokes a kind of scale, drama, and attention to detail not found since the Gilded Age, when palatial homes lined the neighborhood s avenues and preceded today s apartment buildings. Years of careful planning by Fradkin & McAlpin Architects and MDesign London has resulted in a truly extraordinary home spanning 41.5 feet wide and 19,600 square feet of interior space, with multiple oversized outdoor entertaining areas throughout. A post-tensioned limestone floating staircase is the architectural through-line that connects all eight levels and leads you to the home s innumerable features. The parlor level boasts a 38-foot wide, double height living room with 24-foot ceilings and dual opposing wood-burning fireplaces, as well as a window-wrapped dining room with double-height sitting area and skylight. The garden level is anchored by an incredible indoor/outdoor health and wellness space including a 55-foot indoor lap pool, jacuzzi, fitness center and yoga space, all wrapped in full-height sliding glass walls which open to the tranquil south-facing garden, making a truly one-of-a-kind experience. The full floor primary suite measures over 2,000 square feet with a wood burning fireplace, dual baths and dressing rooms, private study, and an expansive south-facing terrace off the bed chamber. The residence s penthouse lounge is the sun-flooded jewel box atop the home, with a wraparound terrace boasting southern views onto Billionaire s Row, an oversized wet bar, and an immense skylight. Multiple guest bedroom suites, staff space and ample amenity spaces are all serviced by a high-speed commercial-grade elevator. Rarely have homes of this prominence been created, and even fewer have ever become available for sale. 48-50 West 69th Street stands as the modern-day epitome of the city s grandest historic residences, ushering in a new chapter in the story of the neighborhood s single-family properties for one discerning purchaser.

HUD Foreclosures

HUD foreclosures and VA Foreclosures are some of the best homes to buy when price is part of the equation. As with most Americans, price is always a concern. If not buying the same house for less, why not buy more house for the same dollar invested? When looking for a good deal it is hard to do better than the VA or HUD foreclosures market. The simple truth is that there are just more VA and HUD homes on the market, as they represent such a large number of mortgages that are generated each year. This translates into more foreclosures just by the magnitude of difference between all others comparing to the two largest. The two largest also being government owned and operated means that they have less time to wait to make money back on the home. The FHA is especially known for selling HUD homes for less than the average sales price in a given area. FHA foreclosures represent a fraction of HUD but they are still a significant number of homes and both should be considered. VA (Veterans Administration) and HUD (Housing and Urban Development) have different and unique opportunities for the buyer. Both are often forgiven for the local taxes normally associated with the purchase of a home (this is on a county by county basis). Be sure to ask the local title company or escrow company to look into it for you before closing as this is often missed due to their are not used to dealing with the 2 to 3 percent of the market that VA and HUD foreclosures represent.

Foreclosure Listings Increasing

As the market settled after the mortgage meltdown foreclosure listings also settled and fewer homes were on the market with a placard reading “Bank Foreclosure” in big red lettering. This was a good thing for the entire real estate market. Having an abundance of foreclosures brings the entire market down and it makes it harder for home owners, who would like to move, to get the appropriate price for their home as a similar home down the same street was sold for substantially less and the appraiser is using the foreclosure as a comparable sale. This is just one of the problems when there are too many foreclosure listings in any area. Another issue is the television set that sits in everyone’s living room harping about the price of homes based on the number of foreclosures and this constant barrage of negative information makes most people sit on the sidelines waiting for the market to either implode completely or to correct itself. Meanwhile while they wait, others are buying foreclosure listings and making great investments. Whatever the reason, a market can only handle so many foreclosure listings at any given time. The more foreclosures, the lower the market gets and this is a lesson the banks that were foreclosing and selling off realized too late. The market and their investments would have been better off if there had not been a rush to divest themselves of the toxic assets made more toxic by their own actions.
