Description

Welcome to 157 East 75th Street, an extraordinary opportunity to own a truly unique parlor-floor residence in a distinguished double-townhouse cooperative, ideally located on a tranquil, tree-lined block in Lenox Hill — just moments from Central Park and surrounded by historic brick carriage houses. Bathed in southern light, this impeccably designed prewar gem seamlessly blends classic architectural detail with refined modern updates. Original features — including 11.5-foot ceilings, an elegant wood-burning fireplace, and oversized six-over-six windows — are complemented by a thoughtfully renovated interior featuring new wide-plank oak floors, custom plasterwork, and brand-new windows throughout. The gracious south-facing living room is the heart of the home, offering abundant natural light and views of leafy East 75th Street. A chandelier-lit foyer reveals a hidden surprise: a discreet powder room tucked behind custom closet doors — a touch of prewar whimsy reimagined for contemporary living. At the rear of the home, two tranquil bedrooms overlook a beautifully landscaped resident garden and a charming historic brick building with arched windows — a serene backdrop rare in Manhattan living. The spa-quality bath features a jacuzzi tub, separate shower, and sophisticated finishes. The sleek, modern chef’s kitchen has been fully renovated with premium appliances and clean, timeless design—ideal for entertaining or quiet nights at home. Residents enjoy access to a common garden, a private deeded storage room, an elevator-accessible laundry room, and the services of a live-in resident manager who handles mail and packages. The building is pet and pied-a-terre friendly as well as subletting are permitted with board approval. Washer & Dryer allowed with Board approval. Up to 50% financing is allowed, and there is a 1% flip tax paid by the purchaser. This rare offering is ideal for those seeking the charm of old New York with all the comforts of modern living. A home of this caliber, on such a prestigious block, is not to be missed. Experience the quiet sophistication and enduring appeal of 157 East 75th Street.
