Built in 1882, this Gilded Age mansion with its lavish Queen Anne style facade and large bay windows is located on one of the most valuable townhouse blocks in New York City. The Parlor Floor Elevated from the street, the wide steps of 8 East 67 welcome you into the grand foyer. Abundant sunlight washes through tall windows, illuminating the expansive formal living room with its soaring 13'10 ceilings, stained glass, and solid mahogany millwork. This grand room leads into the two-level library, a dazzling and inviting space perfect for entertaining. Here, a magnificent fireplace surmounted by a grand mirror stands proudly as the centerpiece. The towering bookcases lining the room accentuate a sprawling mezzanine above, adding a sense of drama to this heightened space. The library includes a windowed secret room, seamlessly hidden behind the ornate shelves and their array of books. A custom designed powder room completes this floor. Third Floor With 11'4 ceilings, the third floor provides further space to entertain and relax. This floor features a large kitchen, breakfast room, dining room, and media room.
