The Property
A remarkable and meticulously maintained townhouse, family-owned since 1902, offering seven bedrooms, four bathrooms and a wealth of luxurious features across five floors.
Indoor Spaces
Entering the townhouse at parlour level, the elegant foyer leads through to the grand formal gallery, where lofty 12-foot ceilings and an ornate fireplace set an immediate sense of historic grandeur. The spacious living room and adjoining sitting room each feature their own fireplaces — one gas — creating a sequence of well-proportioned reception spaces that speak to the home's exceptional character.
Indoor Spaces
The formal dining room is a distinguished space, benefiting from a skylight that draws natural light deep into the room. A butler's pantry with dumbwaiter connects directly to the kitchen below, preserving the considered functionality of the original layout.
The garden level, which benefits from direct street access, houses a superb chef's kitchen fitted with top-of-the-line appliances, alongside a breakfast room and a den — equally suited for use as an additional bedroom and ideal for a live-in chef. A washroom completes this level.
The Bedrooms
The upper three floors each offer two generously proportioned bedrooms and a full bathroom, with beautiful original period details retained throughout. A full cellar provides substantial storage, along with a washer/dryer and an additional bathroom.
Outdoor Spaces
The garden level opens onto a private garden, offering a welcome retreat from the city.
The Neighbourhood
East 70th Street sits within the Upper East Side Historic District, one of Manhattan's most refined and upmarket residential addresses. Madison Avenue is moments away, with its celebrated restaurants, boutique shops, and renowned museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Frick Collection. The beauty of Central Park is within easy reach, offering spectacular open green space at the heart of the city.
