Property Details
Description
Nos. 6-8 East 82nd Street
A rare opportunity awaits on one of the Upper East Side's most distinguished townhouse blocks. In the heart of the Metropolitan Museum and Fifth Avenue district, just moments from Central Park, Nos. 6-8 East 82nd Street are being offered for the first time in nearly fifty years, presenting a side-by-side assemblage of scale seldom found on the market.
Both properties are situated within an R8B and LH-1A zoning district, offering flexibility for restoration or reconfiguration. With a combined width of 41 feet, a depth of 102 feet, interior space exceeding 12,600 square feet, and approximately 3,898 square feet of remaining FAR, this offering provides an extraordinary canvas for a single grand residence, dual adjacent homes, or an institutional or cultural use.
The two houses are internally connected on every level, including the cellar with an additional 2,300 square feet, creating a seamless flow throughout. A passenger elevator serves floors one through five, while a steel staircase rises from the first floor to the rooftop. Interiors are defined by soaring ceiling heights on every level, many rising above twelve feet, a rarity among Manhattan townhouses. With sunny southern exposures, the rooms are filled with natural light and enjoy beautiful views of the limestone Gilded Age mansions across the street. Enhancing this grandeur is a rare double-width, south-facing garden spanning approximately 1,270 square feet of outdoor space, offering abundant sunshine and a private retreat seldom available in this prime location.
Originally constructed in 1888-89 by architect-builder Edward Kilpatrick in the Queen Anne style, the homes embody the elegance of New York's Gilded Age. No. 6 East 82nd Street, remodeled in 1920 by architect James E. Casale, was updated with French windows, wrought-iron balconies, and a balustraded second story while retaining its distinctive roofline with sunflower motifs and carved pilasters. No. 8 East 82nd Street, purchased in 1890 by brewing magnate George G. Schaefer, preserves much of its original detailing, including Neo-Grec stone enframements, bead-and-reel moldings, and a sheet-metal cornice adorned with swags and modillions.
Together, Nos. 6-8 East 82nd Street present a truly rare opportunity to acquire two adjoining townhouses with remarkable scale, a south-facing double garden, lots over 102 feet deep, significant remaining development potential, and an irreplaceable location facing some of the Upper East Side's most beautiful Gilded Age architecture.
