A sanctuary in the heart of the city, moments from Central Park. This 6-bedroom, 6.5-bathroom townhome at 134 East 62nd Street offers a dreamy escape with mid-19th-century enchantment. The gated entry and Italianate facade reveal sun-drenched interiors with three exposures and preserved original details, including archways, hand-carved fireplace mantels, soaring ceilings, stained glass accents, and a winding staircase with a skylight. The garden provides a lush backdrop for alfresco dining and gatherings. The GARDEN LEVEL features a heated outdoor landing, a formal entry, and a remote-control service entrance. A grand gallery with antique terrazzo floors leads to a staff suite, a guest restroom, and a spacious kitchen equipped with an eat-in island and Miele, Sub-zero, and Wolf appliances. A breakfast nook opens to the garden, complete with ivy, Japanese maples, dogwood, and a pergola enveloped in rose bushes, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The PARLOR LEVEL is designed for formal entertaining, featuring an expansive living room with a fireplace and garden views, and a dining room that seats twelve, also with a fireplace and a large butler's pantry. The THIRD LEVEL houses a luxurious primary suite and a stately bedroom (currently a library/den), both with fireplaces. The primary suite includes a trio of floor-to-ceiling closets, a windowed ensuite bathroom, a dressing room, and a second windowed full bathroom. The FOURTH and FIFTH LEVELS offer three bedrooms, a large terrace, and a luminous garden-facing home office with substantial closet space and an ensuite windowed bathroom, which could also serve as a large bedroom. The fourth-floor bedroom has a dressing room and ensuite bathroom, while the fifth-floor bedrooms share a windowed bathroom and feature walk-through closets. Additional features include an integrated in-wall vacuum system, multiple washers and dryers, and an open cellar ideal for storage, adjacent to a large mechanical room. Originally built in 1869 by architect John Sexton, this historic Upper East Side property is situated on a prestigious tree-lined street, once home to notable families. It offers an unparalleled New York City experience, with Central Park, world-class museums, and Fifth Avenue shopping nearby. The property is also close to Central Park Zoo, Pulitzer Fountain, and Bloomingdale's, with convenient access to multiple subway lines.
