About This Home
This striking four-story townhouse at 226 East 79th Street offers a versatile layout designed to suit virtually any buyer. With a ground-floor office space and an upper triplex, the property lends itself to a live/work arrangement, a live-plus-income setup, or a seamless conversion into a single-family townhouse.
The triplex showcases a magnificent parlor floor, anchored by a spacious front living room and a rear chef's kitchen — an ideal setting for entertaining. The kitchen opens onto a spectacular terrace, with stairs descending to a beautiful garden below.
The second floor is home to a luxurious primary suite featuring a south-facing bedroom, two generous closets, and a full bathroom with a shower and jacuzzi-style tub. Above, the third floor offers a cozy rear bedroom plus an additional bedroom with a connecting office or den in the front, all served by a full bathroom.
The garden-level office enjoys its own separate entrance and can be effortlessly folded back into the main residence. Rounding out the home are a sun-filled, south-facing garden and a finished basement with a full bathroom — thoughtful touches that add to the property's appeal.
Adding to its promise, this exceptional property includes an impressive 15,000 square feet of buildable space, with a FAR of 10 and R10A zoning. Because the building is not landmarked, there's exciting potential to expand and build upon the existing structure — the possibilities for crafting a truly bespoke home are endless.
Set in the heart of the Upper East Side, this townhouse delivers convenience and luxury in one of New York's most sought-after neighborhoods. Don't miss this incredible opportunity!
