Description
Bring your architect!
Located in the coveted Treadwell Farms Historic District, this five-story townhouse with full basement and deep garden offers a rare opportunity to create a fully customized Manhattan brownstone in one of the Upper East Side's most desirable enclaves.
Extending over five full stories plus a full basement, the home offers exceptional depth and proportion on every level. The parlor floor is arranged in classic townhouse fashion, with a front dining room and kitchen and a spacious rear living room overlooking the garden, creating a natural and elegant flow for entertaining. A terrace at the rear enhances the connection between indoor and outdoor living.
Above, the third and fourth floors are currently configured with multiple bedrooms and baths, featuring full-width rooms and generous ceiling heights that can be reimagined into expansive primary suites, secondary bedrooms, or flexible living areas. The fifth floor offers a large rear library that opens directly onto a substantial roof deck, presenting outstanding potential for open-air entertaining and city views.
Below, the full basement spans nearly the entire footprint of the home and provides direct access to the garden. This level offers significant additional space for recreation, wellness, storage, or service areas. The deep garden extends approximately 30 feet, creating a private and tranquil outdoor retreat rarely found in this location.
Situated in the heart of the Upper East Side, just moments from Madison Avenue's boutiques and galleries, Central Park, and cultural institutions including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Frick Collection, the location offers the very best of Manhattan living. Elegant, established, and architecturally significant, this is an address that endures.
