Property Description for 40 East 73rd Street

Introducing this gut-renovated late-19th century neo-Grec masterpiece luxuriously reimagined for the modern age. Spanning approximately 9,000 square feet and ideally situated on a 22 x 100-foot lot between Park and Madison Avenues, this turn-key brownstone boasts 6 bedrooms, 6 full-bathrooms, 3 half-bathrooms, and a trio of private outdoor spaces.

This six-story townhouse was originally built in 1885-86 and resides within the Upper East Side Historic District a block from Central Park. Its enchanting neo-Grec brownstone facade beckons, while interiors are airy, spacious, and saturated with natural light. The home features state-of-the-art infrastructure like an elevator, an independent generator, a skylit hardwood-wrapped steel staircase, water filtration, soundproofed walls, integrated speakers, and individually-controlled HVAC in every room.

On the GARDEN FLOOR, a welcoming entry vestibule with French doors flows into a large gallery & library with built-in bookshelves and a wood-burning/gas fireplace. A central hall has a walk-in coat closet and powder room and leads into an eat-in kitchen with an island, custom cabinets, quartz countertops, and high-end stainless steel appliances from Sub-Zero and Miele. Past the kitchen is a lovely garden as well as a windowed office with a dumb waiter and stairs leading up to a butler's pantry and dining room on the next floor.

The PARLOUR FLOOR is perfect for entertaining and has formal living and dining rooms with wood-burning/gas fireplaces. The dining room also has a Juliet balcony and a convenient butler's pantry with a stovetop and microwave. Completing the floor are a powder room and wet bar with double wine coolers and a wine room.

The primary suite occupies the entire THIRD FLOOR and has a king-size sleeping chamber, a massive walk-through dressing closet, two wood-burning fireplaces, and windowed bathroom with double vanities, a water closet, a Jacuzzi tub, a steam shower, and an attached terrace.

The FOURTH and FIFTH FLOORS contain five bedrooms and a laundry room with a side-by-side washer and dryer. Three of the bedrooms have walk-through dressing closets and en-suite bathrooms, while the remaining two have reach-in closets and share access to a private hall and full bathroom.

The SIXTH FLOOR has a skylit recreation room, powder room, kitchenette with induction stove and refrigerator drawers, and a tranquil rooftop terrace with a wood-burning fireplace. The CELLAR contains a mirrored exercise studio, full bathroom with steam shower, staff lounge, laundry room with utility sink and washer and dryer, and several large storage rooms.

40 East 73rd Street is a block from Central Park and close to the boat pond, the Met, Frick Madison, and numerous fine dining and shopping options.

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.
