Property Description
Own your very own piece of New York City history with this meticulously renovated brownstone with no expense spared.
Situated just off Park Avenue in the historic and ultra-convenient Murray Hill neighborhood, 138 East 38th Street seamlessly blends the finest architectural stylings of old New York with all of the modern flourishes befitting today's sophisticated buyers. Originally constructed in 1869, this Second Empire-style brownstone by developer Abraham B. Embury and architects D. & J. Jardine earned a preservation award and landmark designation in 1997 for its historic significance. The recent renovation was a collaboration between Adena Conway Design of NYC and Weston Design of London, and features the sensibilities of both firms. The exterior facade preserves the fenestrations of the period with symmetrical rows of casement windows all of which open outward, café-style.
With a footprint nearly 20’-wide, this single-family townhouse spans 4 levels and approximately 3,000 square feet. Lavish finishes and contemporary technology abound including a fully out-fitted Lutron lighting system, smart thermostats, electronic shades, comprehensive security system, and automated irrigation for worry-free outdoor maintenance of the private roof deck. The residence also boasts two exposures on each floor, with oversized southern windows flooding the home with natural light and distinguishing it from the neighboring properties.
Upon entry, the formal living room impresses with Armani Casa wallpaper and Allascala marble, an elegant gas fireplace, and a mid-century modern mirrored walnut bar. The second level features a fully custom chef's kitchen and dining area with 11ft ceilings, a sleek waterfall island, marble countertops, custom Buster and Punch light switches, and vintage Danish 1960s Jo Hammerborg pendants. High-end appliances by Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Bosch, along with a wine refrigerator and a David Weeks chandelier in the dining room, complete this level. The third floor is dedicated entirely to the primary suite for maximum privacy and features a well-appointed bedroom with custom closets and electric shades. The elegant primary bathroom is adorned with Waterworks fixtures and a sensible double vanity. The fourth level offers two light-filled secondary bedrooms (or a sunny home office) and an additional full bathroom with a soaking tub. Crowning this exceptional residence is a lush and private roof terrace; the perfect respite from city living and an entertainer's dream with views of the Empire State and Chrysler buildings, as well as 1 Vanderbilt. The finished cellar level offers a bonus family room, kitchenette, laundry room, bathroom, and additional storage areas perfect for wine and/or seasonal storage.
