About This Home
As of January 2016Yes, that house. Might be fair to call it the “It Home†- Folks have been leaving notes in the door of this 1920 Patten-built home for years in hopes that it might be for sale. If you are in search of a stately and very handsome home on one of the premier streets on the Upper East Side, this will call your name. Meticulously cared for by the couple who purchased it in 1966 and raised their family within its majestic walls. Potential buyers will most likely want to polish this treasure top to bottom; budget accordingly. Kitchen and baths are dated, but the glorious windows, woodwork, moldings, built-ins and hardwood floors are timelessly elegant. It has all the desirable trade up qualities a home of this stature needs. Master bedroom suite, 2-c garage, sunroom, five bedrooms, 2 full and one half bath, finished basement, large formal dining room, side screen porch and romantic fireplaced living room. This kind of impressive home in an A+ location doesn't come along often. Carpe Diem.
