217 East 61st St

This lovely, sun-filled, 18' wide four story plus basement single family townhouse, located on a beautiful tree-lined street in the Treadwell Hitoric District, has a long historic provenance of its own. President Theodore Roosevelt reportedly gave it to his daughter Alice as a wedding present in 1906, Russian Prince Serge Obolensky lived here and this was the New York City home of actor Mongomery Clift. Huge double parlor with terrace, lush garden, most of its original details intact and seven working fireplaces. Grand proportions and great bones make this charming house a renovator's dream. Currently configured as four bedrooms, all with original details and five and a half baths.
