You're at 81st and Madison. A Neo-Georgian townhouse with a prestigious address. Steps from Central Park and the MET Museum. Direct access via 81st Street. Surrounded by luxury boutiques, fine dining, and galleries. The center of New York's cultural scene.

Built in 1924. A 20-foot-wide red brick and stone townhouse blending history and modern luxury. South African wood floors, Venetian stucco walls, hand-run plaster moldings, copper roof and downspouts, double-thick mahogany doors, and bespoke leather elements throughout. Parquet floors enhance the elegance. A grand parlor, formal salon, and dining conservatory. A teak-clad cinema room that doubles as a meditation space. A Napoleon-inspired wine room. The magnificent details are endless.

Completely gutted and renovated in 2019. Updated mechanical, electrical, and AV -- Lutron lighting, Sonos sound systems, and a 21-camera closed-circuit security system. The facade is not only adorned with custom wrought iron doors but also bulletproof security glass and MAG locks that can withstand 3,000+ lbs of pressure. Each bedroom is equipped with an individually controlled pad-lock; the security is top notch.

Five stories and 7,400 square feet, plus a full basement and roof-deck. Offers exclusivity and independence--free from condo board constraints. Personalize your space without bureaucratic hurdles. Five bedrooms--can be six, including a primary suite with a soft cream colored embossed alligator leather walls, as well as leather floors, two bathrooms and two closets. The closets replicate department store display quality and space. Seven full bathrooms, plus two half-baths. Two living rooms, two offices, and two kitchens, including a European gourmet chef's kitchen and a butler's kitchen on the entertaining level for convenience. The conservatory style solarium boasts leather and custom wood walls. The townhouse is turnkey -- an option to buy fully furnished with brand-new designer pieces from B&B Italia.

The outdoor space throughout is a personal sanctuary -- the enclosed south-facing Zen Garden offers a peaceful escape. The bi-level roof deck with a planted terrace provides a private retreat and the deck off one of the bedroom sites aids in indoor/ outdoor living experience -- all of which amounts to 750SF of outdoor space.

Cozy up by the seven marble fireplaces. Heated floors in the foyer and a heated sidewalk prevent snow buildup. A professional laundry room, staff quarters, and a dog-washing station add convenience. An open-air basement with a pet grooming station and ample storage. Option for to hire the current caretaker / doorman services. Your privacy and autonomy are guaranteed.
