About This Property
You may not realize just how extraordinary this property is. It is a truly rare and irreplaceable historic treasure, cherished for its remarkable history, timeless elegance, and rich cultural significance.
The historic Ludlow-Parish House was originally built as two adjoining five-story townhouses at 6 and 8 East 76th Street by Eleanor Roosevelt's grandparents, the Ludlow and Parish families. Eleanor's parents, Anna Hall Roosevelt and Elliott Roosevelt, lived at No. 8, while her grandparents resided at No. 6.The house is best known as the site of the celebrated 1905 wedding of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt, where the famous ceremony adorned with 1,000 roses took place. Eleanor was just 20 years old, and Franklin was 23. He would later become the 32nd President of the United States and serve an unprecedented four terms-the longest presidential tenure in American history.Adding even greater historical significance, then-President Theodore Roosevelt, Eleanor's uncle and the 26th President of the United States, gave the bride away during the wedding ceremony. Few residences can claim a connection to two U.S. presidents, making this home truly one of a kind.
Architecturally, the property is an exceptional Upper East Side treasure, ideally situated between Fifth and Madison Avenues. Today, 6 East 76th Street has been configured into five residences, one on each floor. The residence currently offered for sale occupies both the first and garden levels, featuring two full floors of living space, two kitchens, and three bathrooms. It may even include portions of the original family living quarters, adding another layer of historical significance.
Opportunities to own a property of this caliber are exceptionally rare. If you have ever dreamed of owning a home where history was made, this is a remarkable chance not to be missed.
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.
This residence takes up the first and garden levels of 6 East 76th Street, with about 1,500 square feet, three bedrooms, three bathrooms and two kitchens. Having a second kitchen on a separate floor gives you a practical way to split everyday cooking from hosting, and I like that the layout is built around that kind of use.
The apartment has two fireplaces and private outdoor space of more than 60 square feet. It also has washer and dryer hookups, so the laundry setup is part of what you'd plan around. Outdoor space and fireplaces are the features that will likely shape how the rooms get used day to day.
The house has a history that goes beyond the floor plan. The Ludlow and Parish families had it constructed as a pair of joined townhouses on the block, and it is the site of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt's 1905 wedding. The listing says 6 East 76th is now configured into five residences, one on each floor, and that portions of the original family living quarters may be part of this one.
The 6 train at 77 St is about seven minutes on foot from the building, and Central Park is about one minute away. Cafe Boulud is about one minute on foot, and D'Agostino is about six minutes, so everyday errands sit close by.
This is a co-op, so the purchase goes through the building's board, which involves a building-specific financial review and approval. It's worth asking your broker early what that process involves so it fits your timeline.
