Property Details
Description
Originally built in 1869 by developer Abraham B. Embury and architects D. & J. Jardine as a Second Empire-style brownstone, this elegant house located just off Park Avenue, has been made ready for a personalized renovation with an option to use architectural plans and permits approved by the Landmarks Preservation Commission and the Department of Buildings.
What makes this home unique is the row of windows along the front and rear of the house, which allow tremendous light to pass through the entire residence. The five floors (including the basement level) come with a total of four fireplaces and provide several possibilities for exceptional living space. A sixth floor glass cathedral sunroom and roof deck provide outstanding views of the Empire State Building. The house is 20? wide x 25? deep. In 1995 the Murray Hill Association gave the house a preservation award. Bring your architect, your contractor and your imagination and get started today. The property is zoned as R10 and has additional air rights. If you have any question or want to schedule an appointment please call Ann's cell at 917-459-1572.
