DescriptionFirst time on the market in over 60 years, 238 East 72nd Street is a four-story single-family home in Lenox Hill, formerly the residence and studio of designer George Tscherny. Renovated in the 1960s with architect Joseph Merz, the home preserves original details like the front door, brick facade, and banister, while offering oversized windows, exposed brick, and a lush, deep garden. Filled with natural light, this townhouse offers lasting design integrity on a central Upper East Side block.
Garden Floor
Accessed through a private under-stoop entry, the garden level once served as a creative studio and retains its quiet character. A half bath and generous built-in storage support flexible use, while sliding doors open to a deep, ivy-lined garden that is both private and meticulously maintained. Brickwork and scale remain intact. A stair leads to the basement, which contains the hot water heater, boiler, and additional storage.
Parlour Floor
With soaring ceilings and large rear-facing windows, the parlor level showcases the home’s architectural integrity. Two large scale glass doors lead to a private deck above the garden, creating rare indoor-outdoor flow. Exposed brick lines both sides, and the kitchen, powder room, and bar area are tucked to the side. Renovated in the 1960s by Joseph Merz, this floor preserves original details like the front door and banister while supporting an open, modern layout ideal for entertaining.
Third Floor
The third floor features a spacious primary suite with a walk-through closet and a full en-suite bath with tub. The front room, ideal for another bedroom or study contains another en-suite bath. Both bedrooms include exposed brick and excellent light. The layout is functional as-is, with room to create a luxurious dressing room.
Fourth Floor
The top floor offers a quiet, light-filled retreat with a rear-facing bedroom that looks out over the garden and a front bedroom with a kitchenette. Intricite wrought iron window details and a sloped ceiling create architectural interest and volume. A full hall bath and laundry area add convenience.AmenitiesAlarm System; Garden;- Patio
