49 E 82ND Street #House

This elegant Carnegie Hill townhouse is located on a prime block between Madison and Park Avenues, within easy reach of the Met and Central Park. Built in the Beaux Arts style in 1910, this 6,500 square ft. (approx.) home features a grandly proportioned parlor floor with light-filled Southern views, 6 bedrooms/7.5 baths, five wood-burning fireplaces, an elevator connecting all floors (including the basement) and a separate ramped service entrance at the street level. Three outdoor spaces complement this townhome's spacious interior dimensions: a garden on the ground floor, a terrace off the fourth floor bedroom and a generous roof terrace with expansive city views all the way to 57th Street and beyond. A single family home for all of its existence (and former home/art gallery of the renown Coe Kerr family), this townhouse retains charming neoclassical details and a sense of flow and proportion which has been lost in many townhouses which were converted to multi-family use. This property is zoned C5-1/MP, which indicates that one or more floors could be used for an art gallery or office (subject to confirmation by buyer's zoning expert). Air rights could also potentially permit the addition of a penthouse if desired (again, subject to confirmation by buyer's zoning expert).
