GRAND 19TH CENTURY TOWNHOUSE

Located on, arguably, New York's finest townhouse block, this residence has innumerable distinguished elements. The rarest of which is the number of South facing terraces. This combined with a roof terrace and garden, for a total of five charming outdoor spaces, makes this a completely unique offering. All of the outdoor spaces are beautifully planted and have irrigation systems. Among the other compelling qualities of this residence are the seven full baths and two half baths-one on the ground floor and one the parlor floor, seven fireplaces, two full kitchens with a dumb waiter, a hot-tub and spa on the fifth floor, a handsome wood paneled library on the master floor, a wet bar, an elevator from the basement to the 5th floor, a laundry room, and staff room. In this beautifully appointed townhouse, state of the art systems are in place everywhere, and the buyer of this property can purchase with the confidence that the building has been fastidiously maintained. All rooms overlook either a beautiful townhouse block, or open onto gardens or terraces. A graceful staircase unites all floors of this remarkable twenty-foot-wide townhouse. The 70th street location provides walking access to the Upper East Side's finest restaurants and cultural experiences. It is walking distance to eight of the world's finest museums, including The City Museum of New York, Cooper-Hewitt, The Frick, The Guggenheim, The Whitney, The Jewish Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and The Asia Society. The Central Park Zoo, numerous art galleries, and Madison Avenue's finest shopping are also nearby. A two block walk accesses fabulous Central Park, with its lakes, sculptures, playgrounds, and plantings. There is no question that this house is in a world class location.
