About This Home
This remarkable historical home, Symphony Townhouse, is nestled on one of New York City’s most prestigious blocks. Originally built in 1872 by John Prague, this exquisite property has undergone a stunning transformation, marrying the charm of its Victorian origins with the elegance of a Neo-Georgian facade, redesigned by renowned architect R.D. Graham. The property’s facade is remarkable with its restoration by the craftsmen behind The Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine.
Spanning over 6,000 square feet and occupying a 2,008 square foot lot, the home includes five bedrooms and six-plus bathrooms. Upon entering The Symphony Townhouse, guests are warmly greeted by heated bluestone pavement. Inside, the grandeur of the foyer, adorned with hand-painted wall coverings, sets the tone for the opulence within.
The parlor floor features Versailles wood floors, 13.5-foot ceilings, and a library that retains its original pine wood from 1872, illuminated by a bronze chandelier from the early 1800s. The grand living room features custom faux Fragonards, a grand piano, and a Venetian chandelier. The Belle Epoque American Walnut bar, topped with a Lalique French crystal ceiling, offers an exquisite space to entertain. The dining room, bathed in natural light from large windows, is graced by a Provencal hand painted tapestry from the 1750s, meticulously restored by the Metropolitan Museum. Find a French Country eat-in kitchen, a 300-bottle wine cellar, eight fireplaces, and a grand staircase that weaves through the home, linking all levels.
Ascend the grand staircase or take the elevator to discover the upper floors. The third floor offers three bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom and ample closet space. The primary bedroom is located on the fourth floor, providing electronic skylights, a custom sound system, and access to the rooftop terrace—undoubtedly the crown jewel of the home. Spanning 20 feet in width, this elegant sun-drenched terrace has bluestone and marble flooring, a snow-melting system, and a fountain illuminated by lanterns. It’s simply magical.
Located in the heart of the Upper East Side, this home is near world-class dining, shopping, cultural landmarks, and parks. The neighborhood’s rich history and community are reflected in the high maintenance standards upheld by the street association.
