Historic inside and out, this Upper East Side townhouse unveils grand architectural flair more akin to Charleston than New York City. The short and stout facade is towered by its neighbors, presenting a more quaint yet still stately first impression. The dashing home is actually not too quaint at all, boasting 11,000 square feet of living space and asking a sgtaggering $28.5 million.
Stepping into the circa-1903 manse, clear Old World elegance unfolds with high ceilings, fireplaces, and formal entertaining rooms. You can expect to find spaces like the oversized, Victorian-style sitting rooms and a lacquer red dining room for that unmistakable “New York old money” feel without feeling outdated. One of the most breathtaking spots is the entryway, however. Tall white columns line both sides of the space among crisp white millwork, and the all-white palette makes it feel sleek, timeless, and almost museum-like. Despite the grandeur, the styling keeps it warm and livable—a perfect balance of both.
It’s undeniably historic yet fully updated with modern conveniences. Configured to be flexible, any of its seven bedrooms have the capability to become offices, hobby rooms, or libraries while multiple floors provide expansive living spaces, all connected by an elevator.
Additional amenities include a full kitchen with high-end appliances like Sub-Zero and Wolf, along with private garden access, an oversized laundry room, and a wine cellar—just a few of the notable luxuries that come with this expensive NYC property. Joshua Hardman of Sotheby’s International Realty holds the listing for further information.
