Downtown living at its finest...in Carnegie Hill!

This rare and ultra chic home was originally built in 1877 as a firehouse and separate stable, and later converted to an art gallery, before its current and finest incarnation. This magnificent 25' wide property was completely reimagined, redesigned and rebuilt inside its original shells to create a stunning four-story house and two-story carriage house both opening onto a gorgeous, landscaped lantern-lit garden courtyard with comfortable seating, dining and even a grilling area.

The main residence provides four bedrooms and four full baths, as well as two half baths. There is an expansive double height entrance gallery, an open eat-in kitchen, a library with wet-bar, three wood burning fireplaces, expansive wall space for art, a 3,000 bottle wine cellar with a glass wall to the formal dining room, play space with basketball hoop, large tv area and gym. At the top of the house is a calm and sunny planted rooftop garden. The carriage house, a private two-story retreat, is currently configured as a home office and a separate guest suite. This separate structure is accessed via the garden or through the fully excavated and sky-lit lower level of the main house. Both houses enjoy looking back over the interior garden affording maximum privacy for quiet private life, or magical entertaining.

Delano & Aldrich's upper east side masterpiece, 120 East 78 Street boasts a beautiful, bold and distinct facade. Most fortunately this unique townhouse has benefited from excellent stewardship, and in addition to the inspired facade remaining unaltered, most of the gorgeous original interior details remain intact. Delano & Aldrich where the chosen architects of many of New York's influential families and the firm designed some of New York's most celebrated and important residential buildings, as well as the Knickerbocker Club, the Colony Club and the Union Club and both Chapin and St. Bernard's schools. Commissioned in 1930 by banker Henry R. Winthrop upon his daughter's engagement, the architects of this house, envisioned a neo-Georgian residence with a scene-stealing entrance niche. Delano & Aldrich created the dramatic entrance by cutting deeply into the faade with a sweeping curved marble staircase that leads up to the offset entrance door. The arms of the elegant iron fence bow out, mirroring the shape of the entrance alcove. The upper floors of red brick are subtly trimmed in limestone. Inside the rooms boast French paneling, rich hardwoods and carved marble mantles which among other period details have been meticulously maintained and carefully restored. The house offers 14 rooms on 8 stories above grade with many principal rooms boasting floor to ceiling windows with double exposures facing South and West, bathing them with abundant southern light. With well over 10,000 square feet of interior living space, the house offers a grand formal living room and elegant dining room, a handsome wood paneled library, 8 beautifully proportioned bedrooms each with its own bathroom and 8 fireplaces, a large eat-in chefs' kitchen with custom cabinetry, a full-size gym and Pilates studio with massage room, and even a large wine storage which can accommodate over 600 bottles. There are numerous outdoor spaces as well, including a private garden off the lower level, a planted terrace adjacent to the dining room on the parlor level and another on the 7th floor, and a roof terrace on the top floor of the house. The house is distinguished by a graceful elliptical staircase which is capped by a large skylight that floods the house with sunlight. An elevator conveniently accesses all floors of the house as does a very practical back staircase. Proudly positioned on one of the most lovely and coveted blocks on the upper east side, 120 East 78 Street is a testament to the best of New York's architectural history. However, despite the houses significant historical bonafides, it is a residence very much in step with today's life style and easily embraces the possibilities of grand and sophisticated entertaining, as well as impeccably servicing an expansive contemporary family life style. Truly it is a house for the ages while also being resplendent with architectural merit.
