Property Description for 50 East 69th Street
Located on one of Manhattan's best townhouse blocks, The Otto Dommerich Mansion stands as one of the most significant mansions on the Upper East Side. At a palatial 44 feet in width with 104 feet in depth on the lower and entry floors, and 70 feet deep on the second through fifth floors, the house is characterized by exceptional scale, volume and light. Only 11 mansions on the Upper East Side are 44 feet wide or wider and none other is available for sale today. Designed by Henry C. Pelton and completed in 1917, the home offers 21,070 square feet of interior space across 7 above-grade stories, a 5,030 square foot basement with 15 foot ceilings as well as 3,350 square feet of exterior space comprising a second floor terrace, solarium terrace and a rooftop terrace with views of Park Avenue to the east and Fifth Avenue and Central Park to the west. The home boasts a stunning neo-French classic limestone facade accented by 14 windows and a dramatic double front door. Three of these windows, located on the parlor floor, rise floor-to-ceiling and open onto stone Juliet balconies.
Inside, a spectacular curved staircase with a diameter of 22 feet and ascending to the fifth floor. On the seventh floor ceiling, a stunning stained glass dome provides glorious interior illumination. The home's two original elevators are also intact and serve all levels; a third commercial-grade hydraulic elevator operates between the first floors and high ceilinged basement level. 14 marble fireplace throughout, each with its own aesthetic, contribute to the stately quality of the house. The penthouse level features magnificent indoor and outdoor areas, ideal for entertaining.
Delivered vacant, the house was last utilized as a luxury medical facility but its grand proportions and layout have remained intact. The owners had engaged John Saladino to design the space in such a way as to maintain the original integrity of each room. Double soundproofing on the side walls ensures the house is exceptionally quiet. Original "blue linen" drawings of the home are available for review, illustrating all details of the original construction as well as the fact that the building is essentially column-free, enabling the new owners to reconfigure the interior rooms to their own specifications. The possibilities are endless. Proposed single-family schematic floor plan online.

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.
