THE ART OF GRACIOUS LIVING Noted for being one of the finest examples of Neo- Georgian architecture, 163 East 64th Street is one of the most distinguished townhouses in New York. In 1902, this house was clad in red clay brick and raked limestone by noted architect R. D. Graham who called this his residence for many years. This elegant 15 room, 20-foot-wide mansion evokes the grandeur of some of the most notable Gilded Age architecture in all of New York. The residence has 5 bedrooms, 5 full baths, 3 half baths, 8 fireplaces and a state-of-the-art wood-paneled elevator which goes to all f ive levels and includes a magnificent garden roof terrace. The property offers grand scale entertaining as the first two floors are built over 87 feet deep and boasts one of the finest and most dramatic Parlor Floors. The Parlor Floor, boasting 13-foot ceilings with inlaid marble and parquet de Versailles floors, includes a stately library with antique English pine paneling, gracious entrance, a grand Louis XIV-style living room inspired by the Fragonard Room at the Frick Collection, a bar atrium room that leads into the beautifully proportioned dining room with lovely details overlooking the gardens. Additional highlights include state-of-the-art sound, intercom and security systems, central air conditioning with individual-room climate control, a snow-melting blanket under the sidewalk and roof terrace, fully finished windowed basement with laundry room, cedar closet, storage and a temperature-controlled wine cellar. This is a large home with an opportunity to be further expanded by adding an additional 1,400 square foot fifth floor with available air rights, plus possible spectacular 6th floor rooftop terrace. From iconic mansions off Fifth Avenue to the Plaza Athene, East 64th Street has long been considered one of the finest streets in all New York. The street, with its historic bishop's crook lampposts and beautiful greenery, has been home to some of the most notable families in history such as Rockefeller, Whitney and Matisse, and will soon be home to a masterpiece from world-renowned architect Rafael Violy. This block is beautifully maintained by an active and long-established block association.
