About This Home
Turnkey UES townhouse with rare garage, lush garden, and sun-filled interiors.
This 18-foot-wide single-family townhouse offers five levels of renovated elegance, seamlessly blending historic charm with modern functionality and curated interior design. Thoughtfully updated by the current owner after its 2015 purchase, the home features a rare curb-cut garage, restored original woodwork, and custom upgrades that strike a perfect balance between sophistication and practicality. Oversized, full-width windows flood each level with natural light, highlighting five spacious bedrooms, five and a half baths, a solarium extension, multiple outdoor spaces, and two full floors designed for living and entertaining. Ideally located just steps from Carl Schurz Park, Asphalt Green, and top Upper East Side schools, this turnkey residence offers exceptional value with low annual taxes under $36,000.
On the garden level, a private, automatic garage with curb cut offers rare convenience and direct access into the home. Inside, a large open-concept kitchen, dining, and casual living area creates a seamless flow ideal for modern living. The chef’s kitchen features an 8-burner range, double ovens with vented hoods, a wine fridge, coffee bar, auxiliary sink, and abundant custom closets and pantries. A powder room and direct garden access complete this thoughtfully designed level, perfect for both everyday use and entertaining.
The parlour floor is a showcase of the home’s classic elegance and thoughtful renovation. At the front, a grand formal living room features soaring ceilings, beautifully restored original wood floors, intricate ceiling medallions, a stately marble fireplace mantel, and a striking custom chandelier that enhances the room’s refined atmosphere. Moving to the center of the townhouse, the formal dining room continues the theme of sophistication with another chandelier, creating a cohesive and elegant flow between the entertaining spaces. The rare solarium extension at the rear brings in abundant natural light and creates a striking architectural focal point, ideal for reading, relaxing, or informal gatherings. This level also includes a private guest suite with its own full bathroom—perfect for overnight visitors, a home office, or a library. The handcrafted staircase reinforces the home's balance of old-world character and modern luxury, making the parlour floor equally suited for formal entertaining or comfortable day-to-day living.
Upstairs, the third floor is dedicated to a luxurious primary suite, complete with a spacious walk-through closet, a spa-like bath featuring a soaking tub, body jet shower, and double vanity. A second bedroom or office with its own full bathroom opens onto an expansive, lushly planted private 200sqft terrace. This beautifully landscaped outdoor space offers a generous seating area overlooking neighboring green gardens—an ideal setting for relaxing or entertaining in a tranquil, elevated environment.
The fourth floor includes three additional bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a skylight-lit hallway, and a laundry area—perfectly suited for family life.
