130 East 95th Street

This charming four-story home offers the classical elegance of a 19th century townhouse, but renovated to offer modern comforts. In mint condition, it is unusually sunny and bright, as the house is perfectly positioned at the center of “Goat Hill” - a beautiful townhouse block, with no adjacent tall buildings. With multiple living and entertaining spaces, 4 bedrooms plus a library, 3 full baths and one half bath, the house currently spans over 4,000 square feet above grade, plus approximately 724 square feet in the cellar. The layout is ideal for entertaining on a grand scale, as well as for gracious and comfortable day-to-day living. Most rooms take advantage of the full 18-foot width of the house, and there are exceptional ceiling heights throughout, reaching over 11 feet on the parlor floor.

Upon entering through the windowed vestibule, a large entrance hall leads past the central stair and a perfect guest bedroom suite to a fantastic den/media room, a powder room, and ends in the beautiful study, where french doors open out to a spectacular south-facing garden, nearly 30’ deep. The media room is equipped with a wet bar and wine refrigerator. The lush garden is beautifully landscaped with mature trees and lovely stonework.

The parlor level includes a formal living room, dining room, and a chef’s kitchen, each spanning the full width of the house. The grandly scaled living room overlooks tree-lined 95th Street and offers multiple seating areas, centered on a beautiful marble fireplace. The dining room easily accommodates up to 20 guests, and includes two closets and a second marble fireplace. Just past the dining room, through a wall of glass casement windows, is the well-appointed chef’s kitchen. The eat-in kitchen boasts a large picture window overlooking the garden, and top-of-the-line appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, U-line wine refrigerator, an integrated Miele dishwasher, six-burner Viking stove top with a vented hood, and two Thermador ovens.

The lavish third floor primary suite is a truly private and quiet oasis, with an en-suite bath with a soaking tub and walk-in shower, a walk through closet, and a private 245 square foot terrace overlooking the treetops, with sky and city views. A spacious library at the front of the house could be easily converted to a fifth bedroom.

The fourth floor has two guest bedrooms, a skylit full bath, and a laundry room with a utility sink. The cellar has plenty of room for storage, as well as two cedar closets and a temperature-controlled wine cellar with room for over 2,000 bottles. Central A/C completes this lovely and perfectly maintained home.

Built in 1888 by C. Abbott French & Co., 130 East 95th Street is a Queen Anne style townhouse with an immensely charming and well maintained facade on an 18’ wide by 100.67’ deep lot. Owners on the block are members of the Goat Hill Association, a community group of 27 single family townhouses, which oversees maintenance of the block’s beautiful plantings and organizes a neighborhood watch. This is truly a remarkable offering.
