Property Description for 8 East 67th Street

Lowest-Priced Single-Family Townhouse over 20'-Wide off 5th Avenue

$1,160 PSF

Located only 250 feet from Central Park on the south side of the street is 8 East 67: a grand 22'-wide mansion with exceptionally fine details throughout. This mansion provides 8,600 square-feet on 6 levels (including the 1,100 square-foot cellar), a large elevator, 16 rooms, 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 2 powder rooms, and a private garden. Built in 1882, this Gilded Age mansion with its lavish Queen Anne style facade and large bay windows is located on one of the most valuable townhouse blocks in New York City.

The Parlor Floor

Elevated from the street, the wide steps of 8 East 67 welcome you into the grand foyer. Abundant sunlight washes through tall windows, illuminating the expansive formal living room with its soaring 14' ceilings, stained glass, and solid mahogany millwork. This grand room leads into the two-level library, a dazzling and inviting space perfect for entertaining. Here, a magnificent fireplace surmounted by a grand mirror stands proudly as the centerpiece. The towering bookcases lining the room accentuate a sprawling mezzanine above, adding a sense of drama to this heightened space. The library includes a windowed secret room, seamlessly hidden behind the ornate shelves and their array of books. A custom designed powder room completes this floor.

Third Floor

With 11'4" ceilings, the third floor provides further space to entertain and relax. This floor features a large kitchen, breakfast room, dining room, and media room. The oval dining room creates a unique space to host guests in a luxurious setting. The media room displays elegant, hand carved sliding doors original to the home from more than 140 years ago. In addition, a powder room is conveniently located adjacent to the staircase.

Fourth Floor

Maintaining the sense of height with 10'4" ceilings, the fourth floor features the primary suite with a windowed dressing room, and en suite bath and powder room. The large second bedroom offers three south-facing windows, a loft, en suite bath, and a generous wardrobe.

Fifth Floor

On the top floor are three additional rooms: A large bedroom with a fireplace and separate windowed office or spacious dressing room, a bedroom with en-suite bath currently used as a gym, and an open space currently used a creative studio. This level provides exceptionally high 12'8" ceilings and being across the street from other beautiful townhouses of similar size, light pours in through the large windows unobstructed.

Garden Floor

The garden floor is accessible from the elevator, staircase, and from the street through a bluestone patio entrance. The garden floor offers an additional large bedroom and en-suite bath, perfect for staff quarters or a guest suite. It includes a kitchenette, powder room, and access to the private garden - one of the rarest luxuries in New York City.

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.
