Description

Best Townhouse value on the Upper East Side! Built in 1879-80, this 18'wide Neo-Grec house is situated just off Park Avenue. The ceiling heights are exceptional throughout, with soaring ceilings of 12'9" on the parlor floor. Currently configured as a ground floor doctor's office with separate entrance and living space above, the house has 4 bedrooms and a formal library. There are 3 wood burning fireplaces. The house could be altered to put an enormous kitchen downstairs with French doors leading to the garden. Moving the kitchen downstairs would free up space on the third floor to create a 5th bedroom and bath. We are providing an alternate plan and drawing to show this proposed change. Garden Level: 8'8"ceilings. Doctor's office with separate entrance. Parlor Floor: 12'9" ceilings. Living room with terrace and steps down to garden, library and bathroom. 2 wood-burning fireplaces. Third Floor: 11'3" ceilings. Kitchen, dining area, master bedroom with wood-burning fireplace and bathroom Fourth Floor: 10'5"ceilings. 3 bedrooms, laundry, 2 full bathrooms. Full Basement: 6'6" ceilings.

Building Information

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its low-traffic, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
