About this property

Move right into this mint condition, custom renovated mansion! At 21 feet wide this impressive home provides a perfect venue for grand entertaining or bucolic personal living. The current owner has executed a tasteful renovation, including installing a generous elevator, replacing the facade and installing new kitchen and baths. The home has been re-designed and re-imagined for modern living while maintaining the traditional elegance and beauty of its spaces. The home is generously and gracefully proportioned with a square rear facade providing elegance and beautiful exposures to the meticulously designed and landscaped garden. There are six large bedrooms, six baths and two powder rooms as well as a gym, wine storage and staff area. The beautifully landscaped and maintained garden is surrounded by other townhouse gardens and is a true urban oasis with tiered seating, generous plantings, a gas fireplace and a grill. The entry courtyard is also extensively landscaped and provides a lush and calm transition to the home. Of course, the house boasts modern central air conditioning, heat, security, surveillance cameras and audio-visual systems. The block is elegant and convenient to midtown and all New York has to offer. This is truly a rare and beautiful opportunity.
