Property Description

Stunning Townhouse at 175 East 78th Street - $6,995,000

For the first time in nearly 60 years, this rare and exceptional townhouse at 175 East 78th Street is available for purchase. This beautifully gut-renovated four-story home offers modern luxury while preserving the historic charm of a classic 1899 townhouse. With 4 spacious bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and an expansive, tree-lined backyard, this home provides a rare opportunity in one of the most desirable Upper East Side locations.

Upon entering, you are greeted by soaring high ceilings and hardwood floors that extend throughout the entire home. The first floor features a large, eat-in kitchen equipped with top-of-the-line Bosch stainless steel appliances, as well as a spacious family TV room, where oversized bay windows allow natural light to flood the space. The room leads directly into the lush backyard, offering an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining in the city.

On the second floor, the expansive open living and dining rooms provide the perfect space for both relaxation and hosting. With light streaming in from both the North and South, these rooms offer an abundance of natural sunlight throughout the day.

The upper floors feature four generously sized bedrooms, each with its own beautifully renovated en-suite bathroom and ample closet space. The primary suite is an oasis, offering a vast dressing room and a luxurious marble bathroom with dual sinks and a stall shower.

The finished basement is designed with modern functionality in mind, featuring room for media/gym, a powder room, a storage room, and a full laundry room with an Electrolux washer and dryer, as well as a sink for added convenience.
For your convenience, a full-service garage is located directly across the street. The townhouse also boasts a prime Upper East Side location, offering easy access to transportation, the best markets, and high-end shopping.

Of Note: This residence has significant literary history-once home to the world-renowned author John Steinbeck, who lived here with his family and wrote some of his most famous works.

Offered at $6,995,000, this 18.5-foot-wide, non-landmarked townhouse includes an additional 3,818 square feet of air rights, allowing the buyer to preserve its original charm or reimagine and expand it into their dream home.

This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of New York City history and live in or create your dream home in one of the city's most prestigious neighborhoods.
