It’s almost unbelievable that all this space is within a Manhattan home, but this townhouse at 236 East 72nd Street on the Upper East Side is as real as they come. Listed for $9,880,000, the 5,000-square-foot house is anchored by a dramatic, double-height living room with ceilings almost 21 feet high and massive, cathedral-like windows. Outside, the 40-foot-long garden is surrounded by planters and beautiful landscaping and boasts a fountain and two seating areas. But perhaps the most enviable feature is the private parking garage.
As the listing states, the grand living room is “perfect for displaying art.” It comes complete with a fireplace, adjacent powder room, and lots of closet and storage space off the nearby foyer.
Off the living room is the magnificent backyard. Other perks include a stainless-steel Weber grill, a storage area, and a water line.
On the second floor mezzanine, you’ll find the kitchen and a dining room overlooking the living room below. The kitchen has a large center island that can seat two, as well as two corner banquets. It also has a Viking six-burner stove, temperature-controlled wine fridge, and custom cabinetry.
There are two bedrooms each on the third and fourth floors. The master is located in the rear of the third floor and has three large closets, an en-suite bathroom, and a terrace. Both bedrooms on the floor above have en-suite bathrooms, and one also has a large walk-in closet and a skylight.
The garage is right off the street. There’s also a large basement perfect for additional storage.
According to the listing, “The home sits on a 102.5-foot lot, which is among the deepest in Manhattan.” It also comes with unused air rights, so the next owner could potentially build a rear and/or top-floor extension.
