Compass listing agent Carl Gambino announced a $1 million price cut for the 238 West 74th Street townhouse in Manhattan’s Upper West Side on September 2026, bringing its asking price down to $10.45 million after a series of reductions from the original $14.945 million.
The five‑storey, 6,460‑sq‑ft home features a 41‑foot heated indoor pool, a spa, steam shower, wet bar and dressing room, all beneath a skylight that floods the lowest level with natural light. Gambino said the pool is the “feature most likely to catch a buyer’s eye” and highlighted the heated floors and dehumidification system that keep the space comfortable year‑round.
Built in 1885‑86 by William J. Merritt, the townhouse retains its historic brick and brownstone façade while the interior has been fully modernised in 2022. Two new lifts, central air‑conditioning, automatic shades and a rooftop generator were added during the gut renovation, and a 34‑foot landscaped garden provides a quiet retreat behind the property.
In a market where other Upper West Side homes with indoor pools fetch $85 million and $55 million respectively, the $10.45 million price tag is a sharp deviation. The reduced rate is expected to attract high‑net‑worth buyers looking for privacy, scale and year‑long swimming, and the listing agent has already received several inquiries ahead of the holiday season. The next step will be a formal offer from a prospective buyer, with the sale likely to close within the next three to four months.
