7 E 63RD Street

There is a distinct prestige to the block between Fifth and Madison Avenues, and East 63rd Street embodies that special aura. Nestled comfortably along this attractive corridor is a townhouse 25-feet wide that rises five floors, boasts soaring ceilings, and includes a full basement. The substantial proportions promote living on a grand scale rarely available in Manhattan today for purchase, especially on a site so conveniently woven into the fabric of a world class neighborhood with an unexpectedly disarming essence.

Built in 1879, this reverential townhouse experienced an architectural re-birth in 2005 with the fabulous restoration of its beautiful Neoclassical limestone facade. The property, itself, features 16 rooms of significant scale, among them 6-7 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, and 3 powder rooms. Several working fireplaces add character and charm to the formal spaces, as do dental moldings and classic wainscoting. An elevator services every level, and a private rear patio, with dappled sunlight and perfect shade provided by two mature trees along its perimeter, offers quiet enjoyment. For a more inclusive and stimulating outdoor experience, of course, Central Park is just across Fifth Avenue.

Please note that 7 East 63rd Street can also be leased at a monthly rate of $80,000.
