Magnificent Neo- Federal Mansion Prime Location
Located off Fifth Avenue and Central Park, this 25-foot-wide Neo-Federal mansion embodies classic Upper East Side sophistication and offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Manhattan's architectural history. Built in 1887 by esteemed architect John H. Duncan, renowned for New York landmarks such as Grant's Tomb and the Memorial Arch at Grand Army Plaza, this residence underwent a meticulous Neo-Federal remodel in 1936, showcasing timeless elegance with refined Flemish-bond brick and limestone detailing. Spanning approximately 12,000 square feet across six levels, this grand residence features seven bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and two powder rooms.
Step through the stately entry foyer into the formal parlor floor, where high ceilings and expansive, sunlit rooms exude a sense of luxury. Behind French doors lies the formal dining room, serviced by a custom butler's pantry featuring unique copper fixtures. A discreet service staircase leads to the garden-level chef's kitchen, complete with premium appliances, a cozy breakfast nook, and a spacious adjacent pantry.
The parlor floor also includes a north-facing formal living room with a working fireplace spanning 23 feet wide, soaring 12-foot ceilings, and an entire wall of windows. At the heart of this level, a grand sitting room awaits, perfect for pre- or post-dinner gatherings, complemented by a gilded powder room featuring a Rosa Levante pink marble vanity, coffered ceilings, and intricate decorative touches.
The third floor unveils a timeless wood-paneled library with a fireplace, custom crystal cabinetry, and polished marble countertops, alongside a private office with its own fireplace. The floor's rear holds a spacious guest bedroom with floor-to-ceiling French doors leading to a Juliet balcony overlooking the tranquil garden.
Occupying the entire fourth floor, the primary suite offers a palatial retreat with two walk-in closets, a cozy fireplace, and an ensuite bathroom featuring a soaking tub, walk-in shower, dual vanities, and a separate water closet. A charming sunroom opens to a private, finished terrace of 250 square feet, adding to the suite's allure.
The fifth-floor hosts three additional bedrooms, two with ensuite bathrooms, and a media/playroom.
Additional amenities include staff quarters with a full bathroom on the garden level, a full basement with a laundry room and ample storage, and a separate service entrance for convenience.
This residence is not only an architectural masterpiece but also a testament to the timeless elegance and rich history of the Upper East Side. Experience luxury, privacy, and history in one of Manhattan's most sought-after neighborhoods.
