Property Description

This turn-of-the-century four-story townhouse exudes the charm, elegance, and grandeur of its vintage. The house is approximately 5,500 square feet, 18 feet wide and built 60 feet deep, with an enchanting South-facing garden. Ceiling heights on the parlor floor are almost 13 feet, over 11 feet on the third floor and over 10 feet on the fourth floor. Many of the rooms retain 19th Century beaux-arts details and the scale of the rooms give a sense of mansion-like proportions. The house is located on one of the most prized townhouse blocks on the Upper East Side and is bathed in light. Available for the first time in decades, this house represents incredible value and opportunity and awaits the vision and personal touch of its next owner.
