A landmarked 25-foot-wide townhouse of rare scale and provenance, ideally positioned just off Fifth Avenue in the Upper East Side Historic District. Built in 1925 and spanning approximately 11,000 square feet, this five-story residence offers a seamless balance of architectural heritage and modern livability.

Serviced by a private elevator to all floors, the home also includes a garden level with chef's kitchen access to a private outdoor space, along with dedicated storage, laundry, and mechanicals below.
Surrounded by Central Park, the Frick, the Met, and Madison Avenue's most celebrated boutiques, the location embodies the quiet prestige of Lenox Hill, discreet, walkable, and timeless. A residence of this caliber, defined by width, scale, landmark status, and location between Fifth and Madison, represents a rare opportunity to own a true Upper East Side legacy property.
