GRAND & GORGEOUS: SPRAWLING SUNSHINY STUNNER


RARELY AVAILABLE: BIGGEST & MOST COVETED LINE IN PRIZED BUILDING


A SIGNIFICANT NYC HOME w/PRIVATE ELEVATOR LANDING & SUPREME SCALE


This is the biggest and most coveted apartment line in its treasured building. Rarely available, this important residence is one of NYC's most idyllic and stylish pre-war homes.


Built in 1930, and freshly reinvented for 2019, this updated, over-scaled 8-room residence is ideal for all of your growing needs. With elegant proportions, high ceilings, gorgeous hardwood floors and an easy-to-live flow, this stand-out home’s easy-to-love plan offers the perfect canvas for luxurious living and artful entertaining.


With a private elevator landing, the foyer/gallery is practical and pretty — a welcoming and attractive gateway to the supreme 30-ft long, Park Avenue-scaled living room. Ideal for big entertaining, this expansive room — with a wood-burning fireplace — easily accommodates multiple seating areas and a grand piano – with room to spare.



Formal dining is graciously accommodated in this home’s sizable dining room. Epically scaled, the dining room is perfect for parties and events, grand or intimate.


The service pantry has been smartly reimagined and serves as a breakfast room/den — an attractive, flexible, multi-purpose bonus room that flows seamlessly to the terrific kitchen.


Large, wide, and classic, the bright, windowed cook’s kitchen provides ample stone counter and cabinet space, a treasured gas cooktop range with grill/griddle, dual wall ovens, and water filtration system.


The peaceful and separate private quarters of this well planned home will also impress the most discerning homeowner: The bright, corner master bedroom suite has Southern and Western exposures, an enviable walk-in closet, and a windowed marble Bath. Bedroom two is scaled as another master suite, featuring an entire wall of closets, and currently serving as a grand library/den. A large and comfortable, corner third bedroom offers two big closets and its own en suite bath. The fantastic fourth bedroom is your sizable guest suite, your bonus den/office, your flex room with an en suite bath.


This resplendent, sun-filled residence has tons of closet space throughout, a large private storage unit that comes with this home, high beamed ceilings, in-home laundry, and enough wall/gallery space and custom lighting to artfully showcase any significant collection.


Here is the formidable residence with a bounty of space, good light, and a fantastic feel. Handsomely positioned in its prized, full-service, pet-friendly cooperative, this rambling residence enjoys a wonderful staff, building roof access, and a location renowned for its new-found convenience. Perfectly prime to all area cultural, shopping, dining, fitness, and entertainment destinations, this beautiful, coveted address now has enviable access to the freshly built Second Avenue Subway line.


This grand and gorgeous home beautifully embodies the hallmarks of its treasured building – noted as one of NYC’s “Top 50 Addresses.” In 1930, architect Lafayette Goldstone created large, luxury, cooperative residences attractive to those in search of quiet elegance and stupendous scale. In 2019, this big beauty – which gracefully stands the test of time — still allows you to stretch out, still offers a luxurious lifestyle, and still inspires your soul.

Upper East Side | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Exuding a cosmopolitan, refined air that is reminiscent of Paris or other European cities, the Upper East Side (the UES, to local cognoscenti) has a reputation as being a bastion of wealth and privilege. Even though it was built by American “royalty” families like the Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Kennedys, Carnegies and Rockefellers, whose elaborate mansions once anchored Fifth Avenue, there are affordable housing options throughout the neighborhood. The further east you move, away from Central Park and the more commercial avenues, the more likely you are to find quiet, tree-lined streets with historic townhouses and brownstones. Keep your eye out for reasonably priced apartments in pre-war low-rise and even a few high-rise buildings.

With abundant, beautifully landscaped green spaces, including the oasis of Central Park acting like a backyard, the area is quiet and lushly green. You can relax and unwind in John Jay Park, Carl Schurz Park or take a stroll along the East River Promenade. The whole neighborhood seems isolated from the workaday chaos of the city at large. Add to that the history of the neighborhood and the abundance of cultural institutions, and you have a uniquely welcoming neighborhood.

Known for its abundance of high-end retail shopping, especially on Madison Avenue, the Upper East Side is host to the Barneys New York flagship department store. Here you can find upscale goods, fashion and home decor items. You will also find the edgy runway-inspired Alexander McQueen collections. If you are dying to treat your feet to red-soled opulence, be sure to visit the Christian Louboutin boutique. These are only a small sampling of this high-end shopper’s paradise that features everything from designer boutiques that offer the ultimate in haute couture to resale shops where you can find last season’s best on sale at hefty discounts .

There are many unique dining experiences, from fine dining to the casual bite-on-the-go, awaiting you in the UES. Sushi is going through a renaissance in the city, and the best omakase-style sushi can be found at Sasabune on E 73rd Street. Omakase sushi means that you leave the choice of ingredients, preparation method and presentation to the chef. Elegant French cuisine can be experienced at JoJo, E 64th Street, housed in gorgeous townhouse. Just for fun, visit the Lexington Candy Shop on Lexington Avenue, to get a taste of an old-fashioned soda fountain.
