This charming residence boasts a private elevator, a stunning sunroom and accompanying terrace, and an inviting layout spread across five floors. The building also enjoys the flexibility of mixed-use zoning and the first floor is currently used as a retail space with a separate entrance, occupied by a high-end chocolate shop. Live in the residential unit and continue to rent out the commercial unit for income, create a live-work situation, or convert the townhouse to a single family residence with the turn of a key.

A large pass-through kitchen window opens into a refined dining room with a second decorative fireplace, built-in bookcases and four windows spanning the space. The fourth floor takes you to two bedrooms, which share a full bathroom and walk-in closet. The fifth floor is dedicated to the primary bedroom suite, which boasts two walk-in closets and an en-suite bathroom with a double vanity. The top floor features the crown jewel of the townhouse, a rare and gorgeous sunroom with a rooftop terrace, perfect for entertaining guests or just enjoying the convenience of the outdoors in your home. The floor could also double as another bedroom suite complete with an ensuite bath, a second living room/den with a wet bar, or an expansive home office. The basement floor includes a half-bath, space for mechanicals and is currently used as storage for the retail space. Please note the elevator services the residential unit and runs between floors two and six. The townhouse is ideally located in the heart of Lenox Hill on one of the best streets in the Upper East Side. The 6 train is just around the corner, and the Second Avenue Q train and M79 crosstown bus are a few blocks away. The property neighbors some of Manhattans most iconic high-street retail and hotels, including Madison Avenue, The Carlyle, and The Mark. York Theatre Company is ideally located across the street while Caf Carlyle and Museum Mile are just a short distance away. The townhouse is conveniently situated between Central Park to the West and John Jay Park to the East, and New York Sports Club and Equinox are both a block away. Wonderful nearby dining options like JG Melon, Seamores, Up Thai, A la Turka, and Persepolis can be finished off by grabbing something sweet at Breads Bakery or Van Leeuwen Ice Cream.
