Description

46 East 71st Street | Upper East Side Townhouse The first time available in 42 years is an extraordinary offering on Manhattan’s most prestigious block. 46 East 71st Street is a meticulously designed, Neo-Georgian 21-foot wide, 6-story limestone and brick townhouse with elevator, grandly scaled interiors, 3 exposures, and a beautifully landscaped garden in the heart of the Upper East Side, steps from Central Park. Nestled on one of the most coveted tree-lined blocks between Madison and Park Avenue, 46 East 71st was built in 1928 by Aymar Embury II, best known for his commissions from the City of New York from the 1930s through the 1950s when he worked as chief architect for Robert Moses, New York's most powerful and influential urban planner. A single-family townhouse offering 9023 sqft of impeccably designed living space across 6 levels including a fully finished cellar and a private elevator serving all floors. A lush south-facing garden and sumptuously sized rooms including Parlor floor and Formal Dining reaching up to 12'7'', this home blends old-world charm with modern luxury. The first two stories are faced with limestone topped by a Vitruvian wave motif, while the upper stories are red brick. This remarkable residence features exquisite bespoke finishes throughout, including P.E. Guerin bathroom faucets and fixtures, as well as doorknobs and handcrafted French door handles in the dining room—a nod to the finest artisanal metalwork in the world. Walls swathed in cashmere and silk by Colefax and Fowler elevate the interiors with a refined softness and understated grandeur rarely seen in contemporary offerings. Residence Overview: 9023+ Sq Ft Interior | 6 Bedrooms | 7 Full Baths + 1 Powder Room | 3 Staff Rooms 20.5’ x 100’ Lot | Private Garden | Interior Elevator | 3 Exposures - North, South & West Cellar Level: Designed for function and comfort, this level includes a spacious, windowed staff suite with ensuite bath, large vented laundry room, wine cellar, and large boiler/mechanical room.

A grand dining room with soaring 12’6” ceilings overlooks the lush South-facing garden and is ideal for entertaining.

A gracious slab marble powder room completes the level.
