169 East 94th Street Upper East Side Townhouse For Sale

  • $5,250,000

Welcome to 169 East 94th Street, a 4-story Neo-Grec townhouse located on a quiet tree-lined block in historic Carnegie Hill. Built circa 1899 and retaining much of its original detail, the house is part of a unique enclave of 24 uninterrupted row houses positioned between 94th and 95th Streets, each with unusually deep gardens offering a bucolic retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. Bathed in sunlight and adorned with period details, this approximately 19-foot wide home is built on a 100-foot lot and features grand-scaled rooms with high ceilings, intricate plaster moldings, 6 wood-burning fireplaces with marble mantles, original parquet floors and a flexible 6-7 bedroom layout.

Previously owned and occupied by a world renowned abstract impressionist artist, the house is a living museum with many of the walls, doors and cabinetry covered and collaged with Japanese prints, calligraphy on rice paper, placards and other quirky drawings and objects found in the shops and streets of Paris. A permanent part of the house, these thought provoking images provide a glimpse into the mind of an artistic genius and can either be preserved by the new owner, or donated to the artist's foundation. Beyond its artistic provenance, this unique property is primed for restoration and offers an additional 4,222 square feet of FAR allowing one to expand for a total of 7,678 square feet!

A truly rare opportunity to create a legacy property in one of Manhattan's most peaceful neighborhoods with great restaurants, shopping, Central Park and some of New York's finest private schools right at your doorstep.
