In a market of homes in need of renovation, this is the elusive "turnkey" home. The current owner gut renovated the home over the course of nearly a decade; it has been meticulously maintained, and is now prepared for its new owner. The house is approximately 9,000 square feet (8,200 above grade), situated on a 100 foot deep lot, and sits on the south side of 73rd Street just east of fashionable Madison Avenue. There are six stories, six bedrooms, six full bathrooms, and three powder rooms.
Originally built in 1885, the facade is Neo-Grec Brownstone, fully restored. Enter through a securitized gate to a private foyer entry, and up we go.
GARDEN LEVEL: You are greeted by an enormous, full-width gallery and library with a wood-burning fireplace and significant cloak storage. A grand, steel (hardwood wrapped) staircase leads all the way up through the house, and opens to a crowning skylight allowing light through the entire core. Additionally, an elevator goes from bottom to top. Through here is the eat-in kitchen, complete with Sub-Zero and Miele appliances, quartz countertops, significant custom cabinetry, a pantry, and a back office and stair. The kitchen leads graciously to a back garden bathed in southern light and ultra-quiet and private.
