About this home
A distinguished Upper East Side townhouse with more than a century of architectural history, 126 East 73rd Street offers a rare combination of pedigree, scale, and turnkey livability. Originally built in 1873 in the Italianate style and transformed in 1912 by architect Benjamin H. Webber into its present neo-Elizabethan style, this five-story, nearly 19-foot-wide residence has been impeccably renovated and meticulously maintained by its current owners. It is presented in true move-in condition.
Ideally positioned on a prime tree-lined townhouse Lenox Hill block between Park and Lexington Avenues, the home spans approximately 6,250 square feet, with a 1,130-square-foot finished basement, plus a 720-square-foot spectacular private landscaped garden with fountain. A stunning open staircase rises through the heart of the residence, and an elevator serves every level. Additional highlights include seven wood-burning fireplaces, many with exquisite marble mantels, a brand-new roof, and gracious ceiling heights surpassing 10 feet on the Parlor and Fourth Floors.
<b>Entry Level</b>
The home opens from a private front patio into a grand 25-foot Entrance Gallery with a wood-burning fireplace, a walk-in coat closet, and a powder room. At the rear, the renovated Chef's Kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances is anchored by a large center island and a separate pantry. A pair of French doors opens directly to the landscaped Garden. This tranquil oasis, with a beautiful lion’s head fountain and an outdoor spiral staircase rising to the dining room above, creates a seamless indoor-outdoor flow for both grand-scale entertaining and everyday living.
<b>Parlor Floor</b>
The Parlor Floor, with ceilings over 10 feet, is the home’s showpiece. The front Living Room measures more than 31 feet in length, with a wood-burning fireplace and the sweep of the open staircase. The formal Dining Room, with handcrafted coffered ceiling and a wood-burning fireplace, is connected to the kitchen by a service staircase and opens through French doors to a 17'2"x 6' balcony overlooking the Garden. A powder room completes this level.
<b>Third Floor</b>
Two generously proportioned bedrooms, each with a wood-burning fireplace and en-suite bath, occupy the front and rear of the floor, offering ideal accommodations for family or guests.
<b>Fourth Floor</b>
The full-floor Primary Suite is a true private retreat with ceilings over 10 feet. The south-facing palatial bedroom features a wood-burning fireplace and is connected by an impressive 29-foot Dressing Room lined with closets to two separate bathrooms, including one with a soaking tub.
<b>Fifth Floor</b>
This floor features two generously sized bedrooms, each with its own bath. The front bedroom features a walk-in closet, while the rear bedroom offers ample closet space, a wood-burning fireplace, and access to a private 17'2" × 6' balcony. A skylight above the stairwell fills the house with natural light.
<b>Lower Level</b>
The finished lower level offers a Rec Room/Den, a full bath, a laundry room with two sets of washer/dryers, extensive storage, along with well-organized mechanical and utility spaces.
<b>A Rare Opportunity</b>
Located within the Upper East Side Historic District, 126 East 73rd Street benefits from enduring architectural integrity and neighborhood consistency, hallmarks of long-term value. This turnkey, meticulously maintained residence with exquisite architectural details throughout offers scale, history, elegance, and a prime location, and is ideally suited for today's discerning buyer.
