PRIME CARNEGIE HILL - Full Gut Renovation needed

Positioned on a classic tree-lined block in Carnegie Hill, this individually landmarked Queen Anne townhouse presents a rare chance to recreate a historic Upper East Side residence to your vision. With a wide footprint for the neighborhood, the property is well-suited for those considering a luxury single-family conversion, income-producing layout, or a multifamily redesign just a short stroll from Central Park.

Measuring approximately 20 feet across at its widest point, the home is arranged over four expansive floors plus a full-height basement. Outdoor areas include a sunny south-facing garden, a second-floor balcony, a third-floor terrace, and a roof deck of roughly 380 square feet. Original elements, such as a gracious staircase, fireplaces, and exposed brick remain in place, offering the potential to blend historic character with modern finishes. As an end-unit townhouse, the residence enjoys exceptional natural light from three exposures. A gated front entry and elevated stoop create a striking street presence.

Designed in 1886 by the noted firm Hubert, Pirsson & Co., the townhouse is part of a limited group of Queen Anne homes commissioned by William Rhinelander. Their distinctive architecture includes detailed brickwork, decorative metalwork, carved stone and terra-cotta accents, and a steep slate roof edged with dormer windows and hallmarks of the craftsmanship of the period.

Carnegie Hill offers immediate access to cultural institutions, boutiques, dining, and green space. Museum Mile and Central Park are only a few blocks away, while local amenities such as fitness centers, grocery stores, and the 86th Street shopping corridor make daily living exceptionally convenient. Transportation is effortless with nearby 4/5/6 and Q subway lines, multiple bus routes, CitiBike stations, and access to the FDR.
