Neo-Roman Townhouse on the Upper East Side, New York City
With its handcrafted Italian Caliza Capri limestone facade and classical detailing, this New York townhouse offers plenty of curb appeal, along with a coveted address between Madison Avenue and Park Avenue.
Newly built in 2012 by the renowned restoration architect, Joseph Pell Lombardi, the neo-Roman townhouse was inspired by the original townhouse design from 1879 by architect James E. Ware.
The luxury home offers 9000 sq ft of contemporary interiors with beautiful Oak millwork panelling throughout, and offers an incredible master suite, with a Calcutta-clad master bath and custom walk-in closet.
But the pièce de résistance is undoubtedly the lower level wellness suite: a spa-like oasis with separate fitness area, steam sauna, and an indoor swimming pool laid in Bisazza glass tile and featuring a waterfall accent wall illuminated by a skylight above.
The 6 storey residence has an elevator, along with a dumbwaiter that services 3 levels.
On the ‘parlor level’ is a lounge and library, a formal living room and dining room with coffered ceilings; the gourmet kitchen featuring a multiple burner gas range by La Cornue is located on the garden level.
The private garden provides an intimate setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, featuring Ipe wood flooring and accents, with mature bamboo plantings and custom lighting.
One of several outdoor spaces, the New York property has several private terraces, and a rooftop terrace.
45 E 74th street sets a new standard for luxury living in the heart of Manhattan's Upper East Side Historic District.
