182 East 75th Street

From the gated forecourt of this four-story 18 foot wide townhouse, the entry hall opens to a grand stair leading up to the parlor floor as well as a front office or library proceeding to the kitchen. On the main hallway there are two coat closets, a powder room, and elevator access. The kitchen and informal dining room open onto a terrace and wrought-iron stair leading down to a beautifully appointed south-facing garden. With a high garden wall and lush plantings the 37 foot deep rear garden can be accessed from the basement level as well. From the kitchen an L-shaped stair leads to the basement level.

With 10 foot ceilings, the parlor floor includes a front library or sitting room facing north onto East 75th Street and the beautiful St. Jean Baptiste building while the rear parlor floor is configured as a large living room flooded with sunlight from southern windows. A half bath and wet bar make this floor ideal for entertaining.

Floors three and four include four bedrooms and four full baths with a large third floor master suite and sitting room and two additional large bedrooms with en-suite baths on the fourth floor. The basement level which houses the mechanicals also provides access to the garden and can be reconfigured for use as a media room or staff quarters.

Built 60 feet deep on a 100 foot lot, this approximately 5,400 square foot townhouse (including the basement which features full-height windows and entryways both front and back) enjoys the benefit of being outside of Landmarks, permitting greater flexibility in renovating this townhouse into the home you have always wanted.
