Property Description for 169 East 94th Street
Welcome to 169 East 94th Street, a 4-story Neo-Grec townhouse located on a quiet tree-lined block in historic Carnegie Hill. Built circa 1899 and retaining much of its original detail, the house is part of a unique enclave of 24 uninterrupted row houses positioned between 94th and 95th Streets, each with unusually deep gardens offering a bucolic retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. Bathed in sunlight and adorned with period details, this approximately 19-foot wide home is built on a 100-foot lot and features grand-scaled rooms with high ceilings, intricate plaster moldings, 6 wood-burning fireplaces with marble mantles, original parquet floors and a flexible 6-7 bedroom layout.
Previously owned and occupied by a world renowned abstract impressionist artist, the house is a living museum with many of the walls, doors and cabinetry covered and collaged with Japanese prints, calligraphy on rice paper, placards and other quirky drawings and objects found in the shops and streets of Paris. A permanent part of the house, these thought provoking images provide a glimpse into the mind of an artistic genius and can either be preserved by the new owner, or donated to the artist's foundation. Beyond its artistic provenance, this unique property is primed for restoration and offers an additional 4,222 square feet of FAR allowing one to expand for a total of 7,678 square feet!
A truly rare opportunity to create a legacy property in one of Manhattan's most peaceful neighborhoods with great restaurants, shopping, Central Park and some of New York's finest private schools right at your doorstep.

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.
