Property Description

Located on one of the Upper East Side's most exceptional townhouse blocks, a few houses down from where the iconic film "Breakfast at Tiffany's" was shot, this exquisite four-story townhouse exudes sophistication with its 20-foot width and graceful architectural features. The property at 159 East 71st Street, constructed in 1880, has a rich history. It was once owned by the acclaimed pianist and band leader Peter Duchin, who was well known for hosting spectacular parties at the house, and also had the distinction of being the site of Mayor Koch's inauguration twice.

159 East 71st Street is in great condition with charming character and abundant natural light throughout. The house comprises a total of 11 rooms, which include six bedrooms, a maid's room, five full bathrooms, and one powder room. The garden level boasts a spacious eat-in kitchen that leads to an open living and dining area that looks out to a generously sized, landscaped garden. There is also a maid's room and full bathroom on this level. The parlor floor boasts high ceilings with a spacious living room in the front and an elegant wood paneled library in the rear that overlooks the garden below. Furthermore, there is a powder room and a wet bar on this floor for convenience when entertaining. The third floor features a primary bedroom with three large south-facing windows, a spacious dressing area with ample closet space and an ensuite bathroom along with another bedroom or office with an ensuite bathroom. Finally, the fourth floor houses four bedrooms and two bathrooms. This magnificent home is perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. Its coveted location in one of the Upper East Side's most desirable neighborhoods provides easy access to top-rated schools, exceptional restaurants, shops, art galleries, and world-class museums.
