About This Home
As of December 20237 East 78th Street, originally named the The Percival Kuhne House, was built by renowned architectural firm Hoppin & Koen, who also designed Edith Wharton’s country home “The Mount”. What they created just steps from Fifth Avenue was a 25-foot-wide mansion in the stately Beaux Arts style. In the 1950s the mansion was divided into several units, one being Unit 1, which is now looking for its next owner. This is a unique opportunity to own a piece of a historic home, to live a few feet from Central Park and to create your dream space from the nearly 1500 square feet of apartment. It is currently laid out as a one bed, two bath duplex with huge recreation room and private outdoor space just steps from iconic Fifth Avenue and The Mark Hotel.
Enter the mansion into a beautiful common space with winding stairs, black and white checkered floors and opulent chandelier. As you enter Unit 1, you are welcomed into an abundant living space with nearly ten-foot ceilings and original prewar moldings. The duplex has central air conditioning throughout and hardwood and slate floors. Flowing from the living space, there is an enchanting round turret dining area and renovated windowed kitchen, with granite countertops and Subzero refrigerator. The primary bedroom is on the main level with an adjacent, oversized full bathroom with marble tile throughout. A spiral staircase leads downstairs to the recreation room with full marble bathroom that can be used in a multitude of ways. There is ample room to add traditional stairs, if needed. Just beyond the recreation room, there’s a wet bar area with mini fridge and sink, as well as a bonus room that would make for an ideal home gym or work-from-home office. Access to the private outdoor area is available on this floor, which can be perfect for creating your own garden area or hosting guests. Lastly, the apartment has its own suburban-sized, vented washer and dryer. The open and spacious floor plan allows for flexibility in designing both levels of this home to your own needs. The design possibilities are endless in this special space just off of Fifth Avenue.
7 East 78th Street is a prewar 8-unit co-op outfitted with a meticulously designed entrance including double door entry and elevator. Pets are permitted but subletting is not. The co-op allows for pied-a-terre and trust purchases but no LLCs. The location speaks for itself; steps from Fifth Avenue, Central Park, The Mark, The Carlyle and even Madison Avenue’s Apple Store. You’ll never leave the neighborhood again…
