48 East 64th St

This truly exceptional townhouse boasts 6000 square feet of perfection and is situated on one of the best blocks in New York: 64th Street between Park and Madison Avenues. Overlooking the Hotel Plaza Athenee, this 1883 Neo-Grec brownstone features exceptional ceiling heights and natural light. There are 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, and 2 powder rooms on 5 beautifully laid out floors with 4 separate areas of outdoor space. Four travertine marble wood-burning fireplaces occupy the parlor and master suites, 2 in each respectively. The parlor floor maintains a traditional feel with natural oak veneer walls and ceiling paneling, and a beautifully crafted skylight is in place flooding the dining room with sunlight. The parlor flooring is oak and laid in a splendid parquet pattern. The front foyer and living/dining space mimic the Parlor oak veneer walls and contain light coves within the ceiling. The front façade has beautifully detailed wood doors and striking double hung windows. The rear façade has new thermally-broken floor-to-ceiling steel and glass windows. Placed just off the dining area, an antiqued mirror and bronze paneling cleverly conceal a fully functioning kitchenette. On the first floor, the grand eat-in kitchen opens into a limestone porcelain paved garden for a relaxing setting among the flora. A newly built-in gas fireplace in the kitchen keeps the area cozy and warm. Within the kitchen, pristine Bianco Namibia marble countertops are paired with oak veneer, custom glass and polished stainless steel accented cabinetry. Appliances include a full-size subzero refrigerator and freezer, Miele gas cooktop and downdraft, Miele convection oven, and Miele dishwasher. The basement holds a generous laundry facility, wine cellar and at-home gym or theater room.
