Property Description for 167 East 80th Street

AD100-DESIGNED TOWNHOUSE
167 East 80 is a 4,167 square-foot (3,334 above ground), 4-story townhouse providing 4 bedrooms, a serene 850 square-foot bamboo garden, 4 wood-burning fireplaces, an eat-in kitchen, and high ceilings throughout. Additionally, this home comes complete with a Sonos sound system, central HVAC, and alarm system. This property offers 3,467 square-feet of unused FAR, presenting the opportunity to expand the home both upwards and outwards.

This stylish four-story townhouse is located centrally on a lush townhouse block on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Built in the 1870's, the property maintains much of its original detail and old-world elegance. Owned and completely reimagined by an Architectural Digest AD100 designer, the home stands as a nod to the intersection of modern creativity and traditional distinction.

Leading to the parlor level, an elevated stoop welcomes guests into the heart of the home through the foyer and into the light-filled center hall. This level offers soaring ceiling heights which make for a notably open, airy living space. Here you will find a warm library currently used as a home-office, and across the landing a sprawling formal living room, both featuring wood-burning fireplaces with original stone detail. Coat closets and storage space are conveniently accessible.

Directly beneath this, the garden level features a spacious and bright eat-in kitchen with stainless appliances including a SubZero refrigerator and a 6-burner Viking with stovetop griddle, double ovens and a commercial ventilation system. Custom cabinetry offers ample storage for table settings and cookware. Here, the home's secondary entrance leads into the kitchen, just beneath the parlor floor's elevated entryway. Outside the kitchen, the hallway leads past a generous hall closet, pantry, and stylish powder room before entering the formal dining room. Bright light and the vibrant bamboo garden can be seen just outside of the dining room, accessible through a wall of glass doors. The seamless transition from indoor to outdoor offers effortless al fresco dining and access to a private bamboo sanctuary with mature trees and foliage above.

Above the garden and parlor, the third and fourth levels function as the private quarters of the home. The third level features two bedrooms. The generous, sunbathed primary suite overlooks the tranquil garden below and boasts a wood-burning fireplace, custom walk-in closets with automatic backlighting, and a meticulously-styled bathroom with soaking tub and designer details. The second bedroom faces south and comes with a drop-down film projector and retractable movie screen, perfect for any film enthusiast. The top floor of the home features two large skylights, one perched directly about the main stairwell, drawing light inwards, the second atop the sleek bathroom. At both ends of the hallway are gracious bedrooms overlooking lush treetops adorning the garden and the quiet street below.

The lower level of the townhouse offers a dry and tidy laundry room, electronically-secured walk-in closet, and additional storage.

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.
