Property Description

Originally completed in 1884, this Charles Graham Brownstone Townhouse is the sole remaining residence in its row to retain its original facade. Occupied and meticulously preserved by the same family since 1907, it spans approximately 5,000 SF+/- over 5 levels with 6 bedrooms, 5 full and 1 half bathrooms, and state-of-the-art amenities.

Located in the heart of the Upper East Side, this property is on the same street as the Frick Collection and The Explorers Club, offering unparalleled access to the best of Manhattan.
Just a short 0.1 miles+/- from Central Park and Fifth Avenue, and moments away from Madison Avenue’s shopping and dining you’ll be minutes away from New York’s finest Upper East Side attractions. Enjoy leisurely strolls amidst towering oak trees, iconic historical statues, and stunning city skyline views.

Featuring original parquet floors, high ceilings, custom millwork, and preserved molding, this home blends historic details with modern upgrades. Highlights include a gourmet kitchen, renovated bathrooms, multiple fireplaces, and a sky light.

The garden level boasts a private garden and patio, a library or family dining area, and a beautifully designed space perfect for casual entertaining and relaxation. The kitchen features granite countertops, marble floors, Sub Zero and Viking Appliances, two full-size pantries, and a dumbwaiter connecting to the formal dining room on the first floor.
