About This Home
As of October 2023Located in a historic 30' wide mansion, half a block from Central Park, residence 2 offers sophisticated living at its most refined. Built in 1901, this Beaux-Arts designed masterpiece exhibits incredible French-inspired architecture and ornate detailing. Perfectly perched on the second floor with lovely views of tree-lined E 63rd Street, residence 2 is a must-see. The spacious home has two bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms.
Enter this home and you will immediately notice the great room, formerly the drawing room with its incredible proportions and three graceful sets of original floor-to-ceiling French door windows with beautifully crafted Juliet balconies. A true representation of old-world New York City elegance, the room has stunning 15-foot ceilings and picture frame moldings. The opulent ceiling was painstakingly restored by the owner to showcase its original splendor with hand-painted custom plaster work. Prewar ornate details surround. The detailed wood burning fireplace is the center piece of this magnificent great room.
The large entry foyer with private elevator access flows to the formal dining room that has a wet bar and is conveniently located between the kitchen and the great room. Once the place for grand New York City gatherings, this an ideal home for entertaining.
Loaded with character, the second bedroom is currently utilized as a library and has oversized windows, a wood-burning fireplace, 13' ceilings, and a custom built-in bookcase. In addition to a sizable closet, there is a separate walk-in closet that could also be a dressing room, and an en-suite bathroom.
Like the great room, the primary bedroom is another real estate gem, offering the next lucky owner something truly special. On a private wing, a hallway leads to the primary bedroom which has two sets of windows with different exposures. It also has a decorative fireplace and an ensuite bath with lovely bay windows. The suite comes complete with a sizable walk-in closet.
This residence is well suited for the discerning buyer looking for something unique and the opportunity to put their own stamp on a beautiful space. There is central air-conditioning and a washer dryer. Apartment comes with a large storage unit.
Designed by the architectural firm Welch, Smith & Provost, this historic and discreet limestone townhouse was originally owned by H. Bramhall Gilbert and his wife Lila Brokaw. Today, the mansion has five stories, four private residences, and an elevator. The building is very quiet and in pristine condition, all on picturesque Upper East Side block between Fifth and Madison. Building permits 80% financing.
