Property Description for 165 East 71st Street
Offered for sale is an approximately 5,415 square foot Italianate townhouse on East 71st Street between Lexington and 3rd Avenues. Originally built in 1867, this 5-story brownstone is currently configured as a multi-family building with four units, including a luxurious owner''s duplex on the garden and parlor floors which has been extensively renovated. This property presents an excellent opportunity for an immediate live-with-income scenario, a single family conversion, or somewhere in between.
The entrance to the owners duplex is located immediately within a small lobby at the garden level. With an approximately 25 foot deep extension on the garden and parlor floors, the approximately 2,750 square foot owner''s unit has 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a large sunken living room, and a renovated kitchen with lacquered cabinets, Bertazzoni oven & induction range, and Wolf dishwasher.
The duplex is centered around a beautiful elliptical staircase, leading to a sitting area on the parlor floor with a fireplace and tasteful built-in shelving. The private master suite contains a large walk-in closet, master bath with rain shower and soaking tub, as well as french doors which open to the bedroom. This duplex also enjoys a stone foyer with bountiful coat closets, in-unit washer/dryer, and exclusive use of the building''s garden. The building''s stoop was removed in 1957, thus creating a beautiful full-width bedroom or living room with massive windows on the front of the south-facing parlor floor.
Located above the duplex on the third floor is a renovated 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment with an approximately 360 square foot terrace.
The fourth floor contains a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment and on the fifth floor, where a mansard-roofed addition was later added, there is another renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment. Including a current renovation soon to be complete, all units have been gut renovated to a very high standard by the current ownership.
Located on a quiet townhouse block in the Upper East Side Historic District, this home is in close proximity to vibrant retail corridors on Lexington and Third Avenues, as well as the 6 train at 68th Street and Lexington Avenue and the Q train at 2nd Avenue and 72nd Street. A full setup with rent-roll is available upon request.

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.
