Property Description

Welcome to 132 East 62nd Street, a distinguished 20-foot-wide Italianate townhouse nestled on 62nd Street, off Park Avenue. Designed by architect John Sexton and completed in 1871, this residence boasts exquisite architectural detailing and refined proportions. Situated in one of the Upper East Side's most coveted blocks, this townhouse provides a uniquely sophisticated and refined living experience.

It was once the home of notable figures such as Bennett Cerf, founder of Random House, socialite Phyllis Cerf Wagner, and former New York City Mayor Robert F. Wagner. Today, it has been beautifully updated to harmonize its historic charm with contemporary design, offering an unparalleled living experience in one of New York City's most prestigious locations.

With over 7,200 square feet of exquisitely designed space, this home spans five levels, each served by an elevator, and offers five generous bedrooms and six full and one-half bathrooms. The property boasts grand proportions, with ceilings of over 11 feet on every floor, as well as a stunning 32-foot-long south-facing garden with waterfall, custom lighting, and lush plantings for maximum privacy.

GARDEN LEVEL: Past its gated entrance, the home opens into an elegant foyer, featuring Carrera marble floors and striking custom brass French doors with transom glass panels. The space then opens into a gourmet kitchen, equipped with a La Cornue multiple burner gas range, and leads into a dining area that overlooks the tranquil Zen garden. Also on this floor are a separate service entrance with a vestibule and mudroom, a butler's pantry, and a powder room.

PARLOR LEVEL: The parlor level boasts a grand living room overlooking the garden, a lounge area, and a library. High ceilings and abundant natural light enhance the elegance of this entire floor.

THIRD LEVEL: The third level is dedicated to a luxurious primary suite, featuring an expansive bedroom with high ceilings and abundant closet space. The en-suite bathroom is particularly striking, occupying half the floor and featuring a fireplace and large windows flooding the room with natural light.

FOURTH LEVEL: The fourth level comprises two elegantly appointed bedrooms, each with generous proportions and abundant natural light. This floor also includes two fully renovated bathrooms, designed with premium finishes.

FIFTH LEVEL: The fifth level offers two additional bedrooms, both with high ceilings and ample natural light, as well as two more fully renovated bathrooms. This floor also includes a versatile lounge space or TV den, perfect for relaxation or casual gatherings.

CELLAR: The cellar level, accessible via elevator, features a powder room, ample storage area, and a laundry room.

132 East 62nd Street is a masterpiece of architecture and design, blending historical elegance with contemporary style in one of Upper East Side's most desirable locations.
