Babe Ruth’s long -standing NYC house can own you for 1.59 million US dollars

It’s a Homerun!

Gimme Shelter found out on the market for 1.59 million US dollars, Gimme Shelter has experienced baseball icon Babe Ruth’s former house in the Upper West Side for 1.59 million US dollars.

The 2½-bath pre-war residence with three bedrooms and 2½ bathrooms is located in the 345 W. 88th St.

The sellers are Galina Khitrova and Alexey Khitrov, who bought the Sultan of the former Swats house for 1.58 million US dollars in 2016.

Born George Herman “Babe” Ruth Jr., the beloved Yankees legend, also known as “The Great Bambino”, led to seven pennants between 1920 and 1934.

Ruth hit 714 career -home -runs -a record until 1974, according to a memorial shield in front of the former home of the baseball star.

Ruth lived there with his late second wife Claire Merritt Ruth and her late adoptive daughter Julia Ruth Stevens from 1920 to 1940.

At that time they lived in a larger 12-room unit that has now been divided into this unit 7b and 7f.

The last time it was on the market in 2015, the post spoke to Babe Ruth’s daughter, who was 98 at the time.

“My most beautiful memories (to the apartment) are from me and the father, who heard” The Green Hornet “on the radio and look into the Riverside Park,” she said.

“Mom and dad loved to entertain it. We had a maid and a cook, and Dade always invited Yankees who had been traded and were traded with other teams in the city. He knew that they wanted to have a homemade meal (while they were traveling),” she added at the time.

Julia Ruth Stevens died in 2019 at the age of 102.

The apartment begins from a semi -private landing into a foyer that leads to a great room. It is currently configured as two bedrooms with high ceilings and oak floors. It also has many installations and storage.

The details include a modern, open kitchen with a breakfast bar and a main bedroom suite with space for a seating area – together with several cupboards and a bathroom.

Ruth’s 15-year career in New York was from 1920 to 1934. He was only 53 years old when he died in 1948 and is still known as the greatest Yankee ever.

The nine-story neo-renaissance, the red-black brick building with limestone is delivered with an inner courtyard. It was designed in 1914 by Rouse & Goldstone Architects.
