Property Description for 34 East 62nd Street
Located in one of the most desirable and historic neighborhoods in Manhattan and situated between Madison and Park Avenues, 34 East 62nd Street presents a unique opportunity to own a newly constructed 20-foot wide "Landmark" townhouse. The property was designed by world renowned architect Henry Jessup (HS Jessup Architects) and built by Steve Mark (SMI Construction Management), considered one of the finest contractors in Manhattan, and given the stamp of approval by the Landmarks Preservation Commission. Situated opposite Hermes and the finest Madison Avenue has to offer, the block is both residential and convenient to midtown. The townhouse features state-of-the art construction and technology, a French Limestone facade with stunning windows reminiscent of mansions in Paris, and an elegant slate mansard roof. Comprising an astonishing +/- 9,200 square feet with 5 floors plus a full height basement, it is an outstanding opportunity for the buyer looking to complete and customize this remarkable property as he or she desires.
The first floor of the townhouse features unusually tall and welcoming 10 foot ceilings along with a library or home office, powder room, elevator which services all floors including the basement and roof garden, and an enormous eat-in kitchen with wood burning fireplace and access to the south-facing garden. Each floor has an opulent stair hall typical of the grandest mansions.
The parlor floor comprises the living room complete with wood burning fireplace and overlooking the garden, soaring ceiling heights of 11 1/2 feet, a wet bar and powder room, and the formal dining room with adjacent butler's pantry. The elevator opens both to the grand stair hall and into the butler's pantry for ease of entertaining.
The third and fourth floors feature 4 large and elegantly proportioned bedrooms, each with dressing rooms and/or walk-closets and ensuite bathrooms. There is a large laundry room on the 4th floor with more than enough room for ironing, and tall ceilings of 10 1/2 feet.
The entire fifth floor is designed to be a magnificent master suite with a lavish master bathroom with double sinks, soaking tub and walk-in shower, a second master bathroom with stall shower, a truly enormous dressing room and a large master bedroom.
At the very top of the townhouse, both stairs and elevator arrive at the roof garden featuring a huge space to customize to one's desire.
The full height and full length basement features all the space to create a screening room, fitness center, enormous wine cellar, or anything else one desires, the building's mechanicals, another large laundry room and secure access to the street for service.
This new "Landmark" townhouse, brilliantly staged by ASH NYC, offers all the conveniences of new construction plus the benefits of customizing and choosing your own finishes in the prime Lenox Hill neighborhood among some of the most distinguished residential homes in Manhattan.

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.
