Calling all Yankees fans and lovers of New York City history! Step into timeless elegance and modern comfort in this expansive two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom residence, once home to baseball legend Babe Ruth himself.
Currently configured as a spacious two-bedroom, this extraordinary co-op offers flexible space, abundant storage, and gracious proportions that make it easy to reimagine with a third bedroom or home office (see alternate floor plan).
A semi-private landing opens into a welcoming foyer where high ceilings, gleaming oak floors, and oversized windows on three exposures create an airy, sunlit atmosphere. The south-facing living room features custom built-ins and a stylish media niche—perfect for relaxing or entertaining in comfort and style.
The dining area easily seats a crowd, or can be transformed into a third bedroom or library. In the contemporary kitchen, sleek white cabinetry and gray quartz counters pair beautifully with top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, a vented gas range, and a wide breakfast bar for casual dining. A mudroom-style service entrance with floor-to-ceiling storage, a bench, and an in-unit washer/dryer adds incredible functionality.
The king-size primary suite offers peaceful retreat with three closets, including a walk-in, and a private en suite bath featuring an oversized soaking tub. A large secondary bedroom suite with its own windowed bathroom completes the home, while a convenient powder room and extra storage round out the thoughtful layout.
Originally designed in 1914 by Rouse & Goldstone, 345 West 88th Street is a distinguished Neo-Renaissance landmark known for its red-and-black brick façade and limestone trim. The building’s rich history includes hosting Babe Ruth and his family from 1929 to 1940, during which time The Sultan of Swat hit 659 home runs and led the Yankees to seven World Series pennants.
Today, this pet-friendly cooperative offers part-time doorman service, a live-in superintendent, laundry facilities, a community room with a lending library and ping-pong table, and optional storage and bike space. Subletting, pieds-à-terre, co-purchasing, guarantors, and up to 80% financing are permitted with board approval.
Located on a quiet, tree-lined street just off West End Avenue, this home places you moments from Riverside Park, Central Park, and the best dining, shopping, and cultural destinations on the Upper West Side. The 1/2/3 subway lines, buses, and CitiBike stations are all nearby, making this a truly connected address with timeless New York appeal.
