Property Description for 2 East 82nd Street
2 East 82nd Street is an ideal property for a single-family mansion conversion, with an impressive 25-foot-wide Neo-Georgian white limestone and brick facade mansion originally designed by Schickel & Ditmars in 1901. (Please see residential virtual renderings for inspiration purposes)
Located right off Fifth Avenue on a historical block, lined with some of the Upper East Side finest examples of turn of the century architecture, moments away from The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Central Park. Built on a 25-feet wide by 100-foot-deep lot and currently home to Marymount Lower Middle School of New York, this grand mansion measures approximate 12,300 sqft.
Originally built as a single-family mansion by architect Welch, Smith & Provot for W.W. and T.M. Hall, renowned New York City builders and developers of the period for socialite Albert Gould Jennings who lived in the house until 1940.The Marymount School of New York fully renovated this mansion in 2003 to its current configuration and housed The Kips Bay Showhouse in 1999 before its renovation.
The multi-year renovation and restoration was completed with interiors by Samuel G. White, great-grandson of the famous Stanford White and exterior restoration by Richard Ciccarelli of Walter B. Melvin Architects earning the Lucy G. Moses Preservation Award from with the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission.
This renovation restored beautiful architectural elements such as an impressive wood-paneled spaces replete with intricate carvings, coffered ceilings, plaster moldings, stain glassed windows, and impressive fireplace mantels throughout, it also added many desirable features for any end user that converts this mansion back to its single-family mansion usage, such as an oversized commercial grade elevator that services every floor (7 in total), an exterior lift for handicap access and oversized deliveries from the street level, a full catering grade kitchen at the cellar level with a commercial size dumbwaiter, two internal staircases, updated engineering systems throughout, and reinforced steel structures.

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.
