Situated on a quiet, tree-lined block on the Upper East Side, this historic, elegant 4,520 sq.ft. townhouse spans five stories, including a beautifully landscaped private garden. Built in 1895, by Thomas Graham, this sophisticated five bedroom, four full bathroom, and four powder room home boasts all-day natural light thanks to northern and southern exposures and ceiling heights of up to 13’. Meticulously designed to include contemporary touches while maintaining the integrity of its pedigree, this is a unique opportunity to own a truly outstanding townhouse at a highly-coveted address.

The living room overlooks the garden through an oversized window, and accesses a powder room and custom cabinetry. Occupying the entire third floor, the palatial primary suite features a 14’ walk-in closet, a huge sitting room, two wood-burning fireplaces and an impressive marble-clad windowed ensuite. Two more bedrooms make up the fourth floor. One boasts a full, beautifully-marbled, windowed ensuite and the other features a skylight and custom millwork, as well as an adjacent powder room, and could easily be repurposed as a home office.
