Just off Park Avenue and only two blocks from Central Park, this Upper East Side townhouse is as polished and elegant as you would imagine. Akin to a vibe like Blair Waldorf’s in Gossip Girl, there is a regal feel that flows through each of the home’s five floors. But, the townhouse also holds many contemporary luxuries and design elements to make modern living easy. The Beaux Arts-style home is now available to purchase for $14.5 million, should you have that sum lying around.
Built in 1881, the stately city mansion was first owned by the Blagden family for four decades. A renovation completed in 1947 refaced the home in limestone and expanded it. Now standing beautifully along the row of E 64th Street townhomes, a recent restoration also ushered in the conveniences of today while making sure to retain its original charm.
A combination of rich wood floors and original parquet flooring weave throughout the interiors. You enter onto the garden level, where a jaw-dropping foyer of tile and a marble fireplace opens up to the chef’s kitchen towards the back of the home. As well as the proximity of Central Park, your own cozy garden is also available to relax outside while escaping the crowds of NYC.
Moving to the upper floors of the 9,700-square-foot abode, intricate moldings, and grandiose rooms allude to a life of lavish festivities. There are a total of six bedrooms and six and a half bathrooms, some complete with wood-burning fireplaces. Currently, interiors display an array of exuberant hues and patterns as well, creating an approachable yet sophisticated atmosphere.
