About This Property
Six East 69th Street is a rare 25-foot-wide townhouse — nearly 12,000 square feet across six levels — designed by John H. Duncan, the architect behind Grant's Tomb and the Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Arch. Built in 1887 and reimagined in a 1936 Neo-Federal remodel, the home sits one door off Fifth Avenue on one of the most private, landmarked blocks on the Upper East Side, steps from The Frick Collection, the Metropolitan Museum, and the Madison Avenue gallery corridor.
The home offers seven bedrooms, five full baths and two powder rooms, a private garden, and a terrace with skyline views. Parlor-floor ceilings rise to nearly twelve feet, and the house retains its original scale and proportion throughout — six full fireplaces, an elevator, and a full working cellar with a separate service entrance.
Width is what makes this house rare. At 25 feet, it is among the widest single-family townhouses available on the Upper East Side today, offering room proportions that don't exist in the narrower 18-to-20-foot houses that make up most of this market. Scale is also what defines value on these blocks: no townhouse over 10,000 square feet in this part of the Upper East Side has ever traded for less than $25 million — making this offering, at $25,000,000, priced in line with the true scarcity of a trophy-scale Manhattan townhouse.

Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Keller Williams NYC.
The private garden and the terrace with skyline views give this house outdoor space on more than one level. I think a private garden is a meaningful amenity in Manhattan, and the courtyard, roof deck and outdoor grills listed for the building add to that.
The house is 25 feet wide, which gives the rooms room to breathe. Parlor-floor ceilings rise to nearly twelve feet, and six full fireplaces are spread through the nearly 12,000 square feet across six levels. A townhouse like this can separate the living areas from the bedrooms in a way a flat can't, though stairs and upkeep come with that.
An elevator serves the house, which matters across six levels for groceries and moving furniture. There's also a full working cellar with a separate service entrance, and laundry is available in the building.
Central Park is about one minute away on foot, and the Frick Collection is about two. The 68 St-Hunter College station on the 6 line is about seven minutes on foot. For groceries, Ouri's Market is about nine minutes away and Whole Foods is about ten.
The house dates to 1887 and was remodeled in 1936 in the Neo-Federal style. Its design came from John H. Duncan, whose other work in the city includes Grant's Tomb.
