Property Description for 132 East 62nd Street

Nestled mid-block on a coveted tree-lined street, 132 East 62nd Street is an elegant 20-foot-wide Italianate brownstone offering the rare opportunity to own a single-family residence that seamlessly marries historic grandeur with modern sophistication. Spanning five stories and 5,129 interior square feet with additional below grade space, the home features an expansive layout of sixteen well-proportioned rooms, thoughtfully designed for both refined entertaining and comfortable daily living.

Upon entry and through the grand Foyer, you will be dazzled by a chef's eat-in kitchen that opens to the garden-facing living room, featuring the first of the home's six wood-burning fireplaces with restored period mantels. This bright and airy living room boasts floor to ceiling windows that give way to the sun-drenched, south-facing Zen garden. A tranquil, 32-foot-long retreat, the garden is complete with a contemporary water wall, mature plantings, and custom lighting. The kitchen is outfitted with a La Cornue range and other premium appliances, blending high performance with classic style.

Ascend the grand staircase to the Parlor Level, where you will discover soaring, 11' ceilings and a lounge that is flanked by an expansive second living room to the north and a library or formal dining room, which is well suited for use as a home office, to the south. This second living room and the library are both replete with their own wood-burning fireplaces.

On the Third Floor, the primary suite features yet another wood-burning fireplace in the grandiose bedroom with garden-facing bay windows. Through a large dressing room with full-width closets on either side, discover the primary, en-suite bathroom that features two separate vanities, a massive soaking tub and spacious shower.

On the top floor, there are two more bedrooms and two large bathrooms, as well as a cozy den with a skylight.

A hydraulic elevator services every level of the home, making it accessible and convenient. The residence is rich in historic character, original architectural details, and tasteful upgrades. Additional comforts and amenities include central air conditioning, a wine cellar, ample storage, and laundry facilities located in the cellar alongside mechanicals.

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.
