Property Description for 48 East 64th Street

Nestled between Park and Madison Avenues, just a short distance to Central Park, this beautifully reinvented 6,400 SF+/- historic townhouse features 6 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms across 6 levels, plus 1,165 SF+/- of exterior space including a rooftop terrace. The striking Neo-Grec brownstone façade is pristinely preserved, preceding an interior brimming with new custom, contemporary features. Originally built in 1883, this prewar townhouse was completely renovated and redesigned to the finest modern standards in 2015 by Peter Pelsinski of SPAN Architecture. This 19th century, one-of-a-kind townhouse was completely reimagined and renovated to the highest of standards. Each level was thoughtfully designed to optimize natural light throughout the living spaces while also providing seamless indoor/outdoor living with four outdoor terrace spaces from the garden level to the rooftop. The interiors take quality and luxury to a whole new level, featuring custom plaster ceilings, white oak hardwood floors, radiant heat flooring, steel windows and doors, and state-of-the-art security and smart home automation all controlled via touchpads. Up the front radiant-heated entry stairs, the main parlor floor awaits. Beyond the light-filled entry foyer unfolds an exceptional living experience enhanced by magnificent architectural millwork, two wood-burning fireplaces and other refined details. The parlor floor provides a grand entrance featuring floor-to-ceiling rift-cut oak wall paneling, a custom plaster ceiling and an elegant white oak and statuary bronze staircase accessing the garden level below, and master level above. Situated on the first floor is a formal living room with fireplace and rift-cut oak wall paneling. The dining room features cove lighting, an oversized skylight, glass wall overlooking the garden and well-appointed custom concealer butler’s kitchen. A wet bar and white marble powder room complete the parlor floor. The garden level provides convenient indoor/outdoor living and entertaining. A floor-to-ceiling steel and glass window wall opens to the rear L-shaped dining/lounging terrace with Ipe wood walls and custom built-in planters. A living room, chefs kitchen, guest quarters and powder room complete the garden level. The expansive garden level covered with limestone porcelain tile floors presents an open-plan kitchen and living room layout with a fireplace encased in a Bianco Namibia marble mantel. The top-of-the-line chef's kitchen is styled with custom rift cut oak veneer and glass and chrome cabinets, Bianco Namibia marble counters, chrome and black painted glass backsplash, and a premium Miele and Sub-Zero appliance suite. The second level is reserved for an all-inclusive master suite featuring a fireplace, dressing room, walk-through closet, study and a phenomenal private terrace. The master bath likens a spa with roman travertine stone slab flooring, a white oak vanity with stone countertop and oversized glass Hansgrohe rain shower. Floor-to-ceiling steel window and doors fill the second floor master suite with natural light and give way to a terrace featuring Ipe wood decking and a glass railing for a private indoor/outdoor sanctuary. The fireside bedroom is complemented by a large walk-through custom-outfitted dressing closet, connecting to the study with tray ceiling and wood-burning fireplace. Two bedrooms, one with a private balcony, both with en-suite marble bathrooms and custom closets, occupy the third floor, along with an Asko washer and vented dryer. A skylight and central corridor with inset glass brighten the fourth floor featuring two en-suite bedrooms. The cellar houses a laundry room with Samsung washer/dryer, wine cellar, gym/playroom, mechanical room and storage. The Ipe wood rooftop terrace oasis showcases open south, east and west views. ??

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.
