East 80's Elegant Townhouse
This magnificent Neo-Federal, 5-story mansion is located on one of the Upper East Side’s most serene, tree-lined townhouse blocks, just steps from Fifth Avenue and the Metropolitan Museum. Built in 1883, this refined residence has undergone an exquisite top-to-bottom renovation reflected in every square foot of the home – from the gracious marble entrance hall, to the sweeping curve of the iron and bronze adorned staircase, to the 13’ high ceilings in the majestic living and dining rooms featuring full-height oak paneling and period plaster moldings. The eat-in chef’s kitchen features brushed stainless steel period fixtures and dumb-waiter to the butler’s pantry off the dining room. Custom-carved Italian marble is found in all the bedrooms’ en-suite baths. Outdoor space consists of the tranquil ivy-covered south-facing garden as well as two planted terraces. An elevator services the basement to the top floor. The perfect blend of gracious family living and formal entertaining.
