This extraordinary 20-foot-wide limestone townhouse, redesigned by Joseph Pell Lombardi Architects in 2012, combines neo-Roman elegance with modern sophistication. Perfectly positioned on the North side of 74th Street between Park and Madison Avenues, this home offers a rare opportunity for turn-key living on a premier block of the Upper East Side.
Clad in Italian limestone, this contemporary townhouse uses timeless architectural details to pay homage to the original house, designed and built in 1879 by James E. Ware. The modern iteration comprises approximately 9,000 square feet of meticulously crafted interiors, thoughtfully designed living spaces and intimate outdoor spaces, making this exceptional residence both impressive and inviting. Additional features include central air conditioning, a six story passenger elevator, a staff suite & a fully automated Crestron system which controls the lighting, sound, temperature, shades, and security throughout the townhouse.
Parlor Level:
The home’s stately entrance is marked by a Caliza limestone-clad gallery spanning its full 20' width. A sweeping elliptical staircase with oak-paneled millwork serves as the focal point, connecting each level with understated grandeur. This floor also includes a library/lounge with a fireplace, ideal for intimate gatherings, supported by a butler’s pantry and dumbwaiter for seamless service to the garden below.
Second Level:
The formal living and dining rooms boast 10-foot coffered ceilings, oak millwork, a Travertine-mantled (alcohol gel) fireplace, and expansive North and South exposures. A butler’s pantry and bespoke lighting enhance this refined space, perfect for entertaining.
Private Quarters:
Spanning the third through fifth levels, the private living spaces are equally remarkable. The entire third level is dedicated to the primary suite, which includes a serene sleeping area with a gas fireplace, custom built-ins, and a private terrace looking over the garden. The en-suite bath is clad in book-matched Calacatta marble and features a spa shower, water closet, and custom dressing room. A library with southern exposure completes the suite.
The fourth and fifth levels offer four additional bedrooms, including a secondary suite with a private terrace. A south-facing fifth-floor bedroom features another private terrace, while a media room/lounge can easily be converted into an additional bedroom. A fully outfitted rooftop terrace, lined with Ipe wood walls, provides a secluded space for sunbathing or relaxation.
Garden Level:
The chef’s kitchen is a culinary masterpiece, featuring a La Cornue range, Calacatta marble countertops, a large island, pantry storage, and appliances by Miele and Sub-Zero. A breakfast area opens to the landscaped garden, designed for al fresco dining with Ipe wood flooring, mature bamboo plantings, and custom lighting. This level also includes a guest suite with an en-suite bath and kitchenette, a powder room, and a laundry room.
