Behind the doors of one of New York’s historic carriage houses is a magnificent single family residence outfitted with luxurious amenities that rival the City’s newest developments such as a private garage, swimming pool, a landscaped roof deck, a screening room and open living areas with 14’ ceilings. 

This 25’ wide property was originally built by the prominent American financier, J.P. Morgan in 1907. Today this turn of the century townhouse stands five stories encompassing over 7,000 sq. ft. with 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms and 4 powder rooms. An elevator services the first floor to the penthouse.

The first floor of this impressive townhouse has two entrances, one from the private garage, one of the many amenities of this home. This floor stuns with 14’ ceilings and a 2,200 sq. ft. great room that has a modern open layout with two sitting areas, a wet bar, a wood burning fireplace and a spacious dining area. This room is flooded with sunlight from skylights above. Separated from the great room by oversized sliding barn doors is an additional entertaining area with a custom kitchen and dining area highlighted by a working waterfall on the rear wall and access to an outdoor patio with a grill. To really impress guests, the oak planked flooring can slide open and unveil a swimming pool. Needless to say this floor is ideal for entertaining. 

The English basement in this house is accessed from the rear entertaining room by a curved wooden staircase that leads down into a country style, eat-in kitchen that is perfect for everyday use. Also on this floor is an additional bedroom, a walk-in closet, a powder room and a mechanical room.

The second floor of this townhouse has two queen-sized bedrooms in the front accompanied by a wet bar and a marble bathroom. The full-width bedroom in the rear has an ensuite marble bathroom and access to a south-facing 1,000 sq. ft. terrace. There is also a powder room on this floor.

The floor above exudes luxury with a lavish, full floor primary suite. The spacious, king sized bedroom in the front is accompanied by an intimate sitting area with a gas fireplace and an ensuite, open marble bathroom with a soaking tub, shower and powder room. Light floods in with five windows across the bedroom / sitting area as well as a skylight by the hall entrance. Additionally there is a walk-in dressing room with custom closets, a wet bar and a washer / dryer. 

The penthouse features a media room equipped with a full sized projector and a surround sound speaker system.
