Nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street on Manhattan's fashionable Upper East Side, this magnificent townhouse is a luxurious retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. Located between Lexington and third Avenues, you are never more than a short walk from the City's finest shops, boutiques, restaurants, art galleries, museums, Central Park and major business districts.

An elegant Neo-Georgian facade (protected by a wrought iron and limestone enclosure) introduces you to a spacious four level interior of lavish inlaid marble and wood flooring; lush carpeting; exquisitely carved wood moldings and paneling; high gesso ceilings throughout and resplendent fabric walls. Well-proportioned rooms will more than satisfy a variety of lifestyles. While not too overwhelming for one, this house has abundant space for a couple, a family or a residence/business facility or an embassy/consulate. Large enough for a party of one hundred, yet intimate enough for a dinner for two.

Amenities abound, including eight beautifully carved marble fireplaces; unique atrium; cozy rear garden; large terrace garden on the fourth level; separate service entrance; professional kitchen and gymnasium. An elevator and network of stairways provide easy access to all parts of the house. A large basement (actually a fifth level) contains cedar closets, storage rooms, wine cellar and laundry. Originally constructed in 1872, this building has undergone an extensive renovation. The end result is a beautiful building steeped in history, yet equipped with the most modern heating, electrical and air conditioning systems, sophisticated telephone system and intercom. as well as ultra-sophisticated safety and security devices.
