Set on a postcard-perfect block of the Upper East Side, this five-story townhouse is as much a New York cultural landmark as it is a fully reimagined residence. While the interiors were filmed on Hollywood sets, the townhouse’s façade became one of Manhattan’s most iconic screen moments—and it still draws admirers six decades on.
Inside, 4,465 square feet have been masterfully restored through a three-year renovation that honors the past while embracing discreet luxury. The layout includes four bedrooms, four full baths, three powder rooms, three private outdoor spaces, and a full-size elevator. A garden-level apartment with its own entrance offers flexibility for guests or rental use.
Historic elements remain—white oak herringbone floors with ebony inlay, antique mantels, soaring ceilings—layered with considered upgrades: concealed TVs, designer lighting from Porta Romana, and a bespoke wine cellar with twin Liebherr fridges and tasting sink.
The chef’s kitchen features a Calacatta Gold island, Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and hand-cut Calacatta Oro marble mosaic imported from Italy. The primary suite includes a fireplace, dressing room, spa bath clad in Damask-patterned marble, and access to one of three private terraces.
For buyers with an eye for provenance and cultural relevance, this isn’t just an address. It’s a New York original.
