Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Leslie J Garfield & Co Inc.
The parlor level opens onto a private terrace, and it includes a rear extension that adds room to the floor plan. The third and fourth floors form a duplex with access to two more terraces, and the fifth floor is a full-floor apartment with a rear terrace of its own.
With nine bedrooms, nine bathrooms and 8,700 square feet, there's room to set aside separate areas for guests, work and everyday living. The house has eight working fireplaces, which gives the rooms a different feel from a flat. A townhouse like this does place stairs and upkeep with the owner, so it's worth walking every floor before you decide how each one would be used.
The building has an elevator, which makes getting between floors and moving furniture much simpler. It's currently configured as a mixed-use property, with two medical office suites, one on the basement level and one on the ground floor.
Central Park is about 1 minute on foot, and the 5 Av/59 St station, served by the N, R and W, is about 5 minutes away. The Frick is about 10 minutes away, and Barneys New York is about 3 minutes on foot.
Air conditioning is provided through central air, the building is listed as a green building, pets are allowed and the building is smoke-free.
