About This Property
Perfectly positioned on one of Manhattan's most coveted blocks between Fifth and Madison Avenues, moments from Central Park, 5 E 63rd Street is a newly completed, never-before-occupied Neo-Classical townhouse mansion of extraordinary scale and distinction. Originally designed by the renowned architectural firm Heins & LaFarge and landmarked, the home underwent a meticulous four-year restoration and reimagination-honoring its historic pedigree while incorporating contemporary design and engineering. The result is one of the most exceptional single-family residences in New York City. Spanning over 16,000 square feet across eight meticulously curated levels, the residence offers eight bedrooms, ten full bathrooms, four powder rooms, twelve working wood-burning fireplaces, and approximately 3,000 square feet of private outdoor space, capped by a spectacular rooftop terrace with direct panoramic views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline. Historic architectural elements are seamlessly integrated with contemporary craftsmanship throughout. Sunlight pours through custom-made Austrian casement windows and a remarkable walkable skylight that illuminates the upper entertaining levels. Imported, sustainably sourced Italian marble and hand-finished details reflect uncompromising quality. From arrival, an impressive 24-foot-high entrance hall showcases imported Italian ivory limestone floors and a magnificent custom hand-forged iron and brass staircase. The foyer and private elevator are adorned with exquisite Venetian plaster crafted by master European artisans, creating a timeless sense of understated elegance. Designed for intimate living and grand-scale entertaining, the residence features an exceptional multi-kitchen configuration plus an expansive parlor-style entertaining level. The entire third floor is dedicated to the primary suite, offering an expansive walk-through dressing gallery, dual spa-inspired baths, a working fireplace, and refined finishes throughout-an elevated private retreat within the home. The lower floors offer true club-like amenities, including a traditional Hammam, a large Finnish cedar-lined sauna, a fitness center, a wet bar, direct access to a Zen-inspired garden, and a fully independent caretaker's suite with private entrance. The lowest level includes a professionally designed home theater, an Old World wine cellar and tasting lounge, and state-of-the-art commercial-grade infrastructure throughout. A rare trophy residence-where landmarked Neo-Classical architecture meets flawless modern execution-offering a once-in-a-generation opportunity in the heart of the Upper East Side.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Serhant.
Designed by Heins & LaFarge, this Neo-Classical townhouse on East 63rd Street is landmarked, and its four-year restoration kept the historic character while adding contemporary design and engineering. The entrance hall rises 24 feet to Italian ivory limestone floors and a custom hand-forged iron and brass staircase, and I like that the staircase is part of the arrival itself.
The primary suite takes up the entire third floor, with a walk-through dressing gallery, dual baths and a working fireplace. There are twelve working wood-burning fireplaces across the house, and the lowest level adds a home theater and a wine cellar with a tasting lounge.
Light comes through custom Austrian casement windows and a walkable skylight that lights the upper entertaining levels. The home has about 3,000 square feet of private outdoor space, and the rooftop terrace looks out over Central Park and the Manhattan skyline. There's also a wraparound terrace, a balcony, a patio and a private garden.
A washer and dryer are in the home, and so are a dishwasher, walk-in closets and storage. There's an elevator, which makes moving between eight levels far easier. Central Park is about 1 minute on foot, and the Central Park Zoo is about 2 minutes. The 5 Av/59 St station is about 5 minutes away, and Morton Williams for groceries is about 9 minutes on foot.
