The townhouse provides approximately 3,504 sqft. across five spacious levels, along with a finished cellar.

Adjacent to the neighborhood Carl Schurz Park and blocks from Central Park, this residence is ideally positioned between two iconic parks and near major cultural attractions including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Cooper Hewitt.

Move-in ready with its elegant blend of modern design and practical updates, this townhouse is a rare opportunity to own a refined, turnkey home in one of the Upper East Side’s most peaceful and picturesque enclaves.

Garden Floor
Entering through a private gated forecourt, you're greeted immediately by a convenient coat closet, leading into an expansive open kitchen with radiant heated floors, custom cabinetry, Caesarstone countertops, and premium appliances. Steps down from the kitchen lead to a bright, light-filled family room and dining area featuring a glass block ceiling which bathes the entire level in natural light. The garden level has been built out to lot depth, making the level feel oversized and ideal for hosting.

Parlour Floor
This elegant entertaining floor boasts high ceilings, generously proportioned rooms, and abundant natural light. At the front, a gracious library is framed by custom built-in bookcases and a handsome fireplace, offering a refined space for relaxation or a comfortable office. To the rear, a sunlit living room or den opens seamlessly onto a spacious, step-down private terrace, an ideal setting for alfresco entertaining, all set against the charming, tree-lined backdrop of historic Henderson Place. This rear room also offers versatility as a dedicated guest suite, thanks to an adjacent full bath. A large hidden walk-in closet adds further convenience for all your storage needs.

Third Floor

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.
