Located in the heart of the Upper East Side, this remarkable Park Avenue limestone mansion was constructed from the ground up in 2004 and designed in the new classic aesthetic. The magnificent limestone facade from 1910 is the only remaining original feature. This fusion of the old and new creates a unique and unparalleled combination that offers the look of historical grandeur with contemporary luxuries.
This sun-drenched six-story mansion spans 18.75 feet wide and features a thoughtful layout with five bedrooms, five full baths, three half baths, six fireplaces, an elevator servicing all floors, and a beautifully landscaped garden and rooftop deck. With high ceilings, stunning architectural details, and exceptional light throughout, this home was built for everyday living and grand entertaining.
