About This Property
A Palatial Limestone Mansion Off Park Avenue
Magnificent in scale, 106 East 71st Street is a 25-foot-wide, 17-room limestone Mansion on one of the Upper East Side’s most coveted blocks, just off Park Avenue. Built in 1910 and meticulously renovated as a single-family home, this move-in-ready residence pairs architectural grandeur with modern comfort. Custom plasterwork, wood moldings, white oak plank floors, vaulted ceilings and oversized mahogany-trimmed windows distinguish the interiors.
Seven Bedrooms, eight full Baths and two Powder Rooms complement exceptional entertaining spaces, including a fireside Gallery, a 600-square-foot Baronial Parlor, a formal Dining Room with a gold leaf ceiling and a Chef’s Kitchen with a Dining Terrace overlooking the landscaped South Garden. Additional highlights include a Gym, Study, Media/Family Room, Penthouse Library, seven wood-burning fireplaces, Sonos and security systems. A grand circular marble staircase anchors the home, while an oversized Otis Elevator serves every level.
Garden Level
A private street entrance opens to a discreet Service Hall. A substantial Gym and Recreation Area, Staff Room and Bath provide direct Garden access. A Laundry Room, Kitchenette, elevator mechanical room and abundant storage complete this level.
Main Level
A marble Vestibule leads to a magnificent Gallery with a fireplace and the century-old marble staircase. A Security Room, concealed storage, closets and Powder Room are thoughtfully integrated. The bright, south-facing Kitchen and Breakfast Room feature an oversized arched window, marble counters, custom cabinetry, a fireplace and Viking, Sub-Zero and Miele appliances. The adjoining Dining Terrace overlooks the tranquil Garden.
Parlor Level
Thirteen-foot ceilings crown the richly paneled mahogany Living Room and formal Dining Room, each with a fireplace and original mantel. A Juliet balcony, wide-plank floors, intricate plaster moldings and custom millwork create an exceptional setting for entertaining. A Wet Bar and guest Powder Room complete the floor.
Fourth Level
Two Guest Bedrooms, each with an en-suite Bath, are joined by a comfortable Den. Custom millwork, white oak floors and multiple closets enhance the accommodations.
Fifth Level
The full-floor Primary Suite offers exceptional privacy. The north-facing Bedroom features a fireplace, an expansive Dressing Room and additional closets. Two beautifully appointed Baths each include a tub and separate shower. A private south-facing Study with a fireplace completes the suite.
Sixth Level
Two generously proportioned Bedrooms, each with a full Bath, accommodate family and guests. A Playroom, Kitchenette and ample storage provide additional flexibility.
Penthouse Level
A Media/Family Room with a vaulted ceiling, arched windows and French doors opens to a planted Terrace. A paneled Library and Wet Bar offer an intimate retreat. Above, an expansive Roof Terrace framed by an original limestone balustrade and carved urns offers open-sky vistas and views toward Park Avenue and Central Park.
Lower Level
The home’s mechanical systems are discreetly housed below, providing climate control throughout the residence.
A Legacy of Distinction
Set within the Upper East Side Historic District and distinguished by its selection as the Kips Bay Decorator Show House, this meticulously maintained mansion unites architectural pedigree, gracious proportions and the comforts of contemporary living.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Sothebys International Realty.
The kitchen and breakfast room sit on the main level, facing south, with the dining terrace next to them overlooking the garden. Cooking, eating and stepping outside all happen within a few steps of each other. The kitchen has Viking, Sub-Zero and Miele appliances and a dishwasher, plus a fireplace, which gives the room more character than most kitchens have.
A south-facing window can get direct sun for about 8.5 hours on the winter solstice, from 7:41 AM to 4:07 PM, and about 10 hours at the equinoxes. Nearby buildings can block some of that.
The parlor level holds the living room and formal dining room, each with a fireplace and an original mantel. A wet bar and a guest powder room on the same floor mean guests don't need to go upstairs for a drink or a powder room.
The fifth level is a full-floor primary suite with a north-facing bedroom and a south-facing study. The fourth level has two guest bedrooms, each with an en-suite bath, joined by a den. The home has seven bedrooms and ten bathrooms in all, and an oversized Otis elevator serves every level, which matters in a house this size.
Central Park is about 6 minutes on foot, and the 68 St-Hunter College station on the 6 is about 3 minutes away. Morton Williams and Whole Foods are each about 5 minutes away, so groceries are close.
