Dream Homes

Upper East Side

$26 million

Just “steps off Fifth Avenue” and a half-block from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this “magnificent” Beaux-Arts mansion on East 80th Street is museum-worthy itself. The 21-foot-wide, five-story townhouse, built a century ago, is the beneficiary of a “superb renovation.” The “elegant” period details and multiple fireplaces are intact, and the “handsome” façade has been refurbished to its original glory. Plus, glorious new rooms abound, like the 25-foot-long “gourmet” kitchen with a butler’s pantry and access to a garden. The “grand” living and dining area on the parlor floor offer 825-plus square feet of entertaining space, and the upper levels include the master suite plus four additional bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms.
