About This Property
An Exceptional Opportunity on East 62nd Street
Located on one of the Upper East Side's most prestigious blocks, between Fifth and Madison Avenues, this rare offering presents the chance to acquire two side by side magnificent limestone townhouses spanning an impressive 41 feet of frontage.
Together, the properties encompass approximately 16,200 square feet above grade, with an additional 3,100 SF on the lower level, and are currently interconnected on each floor by a hallway. Each structure retains its own grand staircase and elevator, allowing for versatility of use and design.
The interiors showcase beautifully maintained rooms filled with natural light from oversized windows, soaring ceiling heights reaching up to 14 feet on the double parlor floor, multiple wood-burning fireplaces, and original architectural detail. An existing backyard lies between the two structures, with potential for further outdoor terraces.
Currently configured for non-profit office use, the property may be reimagined as a grand private residence or for approved not-for-profit or philanthropic purposes.
15 East 62nd Street, designed by the famed architect C.P.H. Gilbert in 1900, boasts a striking Beaux-Arts facade with a high stoop, blending seamlessly with the stately limestone facade of 17 East 62nd Street.
Available for the first time in over 50 years, this unique pair of properties offers a rare opportunity to create a legacy estate of exceptional scale and grandeur in one of Manhattan's most coveted locations, steps from Fifth Avenue, Central Park and Madison Avenue's ultra luxury retail corridor, most fashionable restaurants and private membership clubs.

Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Brown Harris Stevens Residential Sales LLC.
A private garden sits between the two limestone townhouses at 15-17 East 62nd Street, and the listing notes room for further terraces on the existing backyard. That's worth weighing in Manhattan, where outdoor space of any kind is hard to come by.
The two houses sit side by side across 41 feet of frontage, and each keeps its own staircase and elevator. Two vertical cores give you more than one way to organize the space, and an elevator in each house is a practical point at this scale, especially for moving furniture between floors.
Ceilings reach up to 14 feet on the double parlor floor, which gives those rooms volume and more than one way to furnish them. High ceilings don't make a floor plan work on their own, so how each room is laid out still matters. The listing also describes oversized windows and original architectural detail throughout.
Seven fireplaces are listed, and the listing describes several as wood-burning. The property is currently set up for non-profit office use, and it may be reimagined as a private residence or for approved not-for-profit or philanthropic purposes.
Fifth Avenue and Central Park are steps away.
