Description

Stunning Renovation off Park Avenue 115 East 38th Street is a stunning, 6-story, fully renovated elevator townhouse located in the Murray Hill Historic District just off Park Avenue. Behind the French Second Empire facade (c.1864) is over 6,000 square feet of luxurious interiors and gorgeous finishes amid graceful proportions, 12-foot ceilings and abundant light. Meticulously renovated in 2016 and lovingly maintained with 6 wood-burning fireplaces, state-of-the-art mechanical systems and hidden speaker sound system, 115 East 38th Street's beauty lies in its striking architectural details: a stunning brass raised-paneled elevator door; a sinuous ebonized elliptical stair spiraling up 5 stories; French doors from the living room opening up onto a balcony overlooking the beautifully landscaped garden. The ground floor's fully open plan features a gracious and professionally equipped kitchen with eat-in banquette, a formal dining room and a media/family room that opens out into the lush garden with ample room for outdoor entertaining. A grand parlor floor features a south-facing library adjacent to the elegant entry gallery and a grand living room with a fireplace, a carved marble mantlepiece and a wall of French doors opening onto a balcony overlooking the garden. The entire third floor makes up the luxurious primary bedroom suite and includes a dressing room with extensive custom built-in closet millwork and a large, lavish marble-clad bathroom with two sinks, a floating bathtub and steam shower. Bathroom fixtures throughout the house are in a classic antiqued brass from Waterworks. Three additional floors include 4 bedrooms all with en-suite bathrooms, a laundry room, and a sixth floor library with a fireplace and wet bar opening out onto the large terrace perfect for twilight entertaining. Distinguished by an open and airy floor plan, with 3 distinct outdoor spaces totalling over 1,000 SF and stunning views of the Empire State & Chrysler Buildings, 115 east 38th Street unifies under one roof the best of classic townhouse living with modern amenities and systems. 115 East 38th Street is located on a beautiful townhouse block just off Park Avenue and close to Bryant Park, Scandinavia House, The Morgan Library, and Grand Central Station.
