Babe Ruth's iconic three-bedroom Upper West Side apartment is back on the market, listed for $1.59 million. The prewar residence at 345 W. 88th St. was owned by Galina Khitrova and Alexey Khitrov before being put up for sale again. Ruth lived in this apartment from 1920 to 1940 with his wife and adopted daughter. The space, now configured as a two-bedroom, features high ceilings, built-ins, and modern kitchen amenities. Julia Ruth Stevens, the Yankees legend's daughter, has fond memories of the apartment, highlighting its significance to the family.
Ruth lived there with his late second wife, Claire Merritt Ruth, and their late adopted daughter Julia Ruth Stevens, from 1920 to 1940.
The apartment opens from a semi-private landing into a foyer that leads to a great room, currently configured as a two-bedroom with high ceilings and oak floors.
At the time, they resided in a larger 12-room unit that has since been divided into this unit, 7B, as well as 7F.
My fondest memories [of the apartment] are of me and Father listening to 'The Green Hornet' on the radio and looking out to Riverside Park.
