Description

53 East 77th Street has gone through many permutations as a single-family mansion, Funk and Wagnall's library, Cello restaurant, a recording studio, and currently is used to market museum-quality furniture. The building has great bones and proportions with windows on the north, south, and west. Phenomenal location, as its right off Madison Avenue across from The Carlyle and The Mark Hotel.

The property is commercially zoned and ideal for an art gallery, school, private club, office, diplomatic residence, institution, and retail mixed building with residential space above office/commercial floors. A buyer could convert this 14,500 sq ft+ building into a grand mansion. Co-Exclusive.

About Upper East Side

View All Upper East Side Listings

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its quiet, 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.
