Discover an extraordinary opportunity to craft your own single-family residence in the heart of the Upper East Side. This distinguished five-story townhouse, set on an expansive 17.6' × 102.2' lot, offers 7,525 square feet of living space and is brimming with historic charm. Built in 1910 and designated as a landmark within the Upper East Side Historic District, this property provides an exceptional canvas to create a truly magnificent home. Ideally situated just moments from Madison and Fifth Avenues, it offers both privacy and convenience, placing you moments away from Central Park, world-renowned galleries, luxury boutiques, and some of the finest dining in the city. Currently configured as a ten-unit condominium, this townhouse features two apartments per floor. The street-level residences include a front studio (1F) with a private gated entrance from East 73rd Street and a rear one-bedroom (1B) with a charming garden patio. On the parlor floor, a spacious high-ceilinged studio (2F) and a tranquil garden-facing one-bedroom (2B) provide elegant living spaces. The third-floor studio (3F) enjoys tree-lined views, while the adjacent one-bedroom (3B) boasts a private terrace. The fourth and fifth floors each contain a studio and a one-bedroom, with the top-floor unit (5B) featuring two skylights that flood the space with natural light. Each apartment is thoughtfully designed with renovated granite kitchens, stainless steel appliances, marble bathrooms with European-style showers, and individually controlled heating and air conditioning. This historic residence has undergone significant upgrades, including a comprehensive renovation in 2007 that updated plumbing, electrical systems, and common areas, with the entry hall featuring elegant new marble flooring that complements the original mahogany details. The façade was meticulously restored in 2017, along with roof replacements and skylight updates, preserving the integrity of this classic brownstone. With R8B/R10 & PL zoning (Special Park Improvement District) and a FAR of 4 (allowable 7,192 sq. ft., to be confirmed through a property survey and submission to the NYC Department of Buildings and the NYC Landmark Preservation Comm.), this property offers an array of possibilities. Whether you choose to transform it into a gorgeous single-family home, maintain it as a highly desirable rental investment, create a luxurious duplex or triplex while leasing other units, or reimagine it as two duplexes and a simplex, the potential is unmatched. Opportunities to own a historic brownstone of this caliber in such a coveted location are exceedingly rare. Whether you’re envisioning an exquisite private residence or an investment with outstanding potential, 59 East 73rd Street is a remarkable opportunity.
