Welcome to 157 East 65th Street, the largest and most coveted corner house on Jones Wood, an exclusive 110' x 80' European-style private garden created in the 1920s. Jones Wood is the only private townhouse garden association on the Upper East Side. 157 is one of just 12 single family homes exclusively situated around this secret garden.

Garden Level: Welcome guests through the main entrance for direct access to living space, or through the convenient service entrance leading into a thoughtfully designed foyer with seating and storage for shoes and coats.
