209 East 61st St. TOWNHOUSE

Beautifully restored 20-foot wide single family home nestled serenely among rows of other well-maintained townhouses on a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of the Treadwell Farm Historic District, a neighborhood long popular with notable New Yorkers that has retained much of its original character, sense of place and architectural distinction.

The former coal hole (the bunker beneath the sidewalk in front of the house that was originally used for coal to heat the house) doubles as a wine cellar. Abundant walk-in closets and storage, 5full/2half baths, zoned central AC and security alarm system. Washer/dryer. Convenient to world-class shopping (Bloomingdales!), fine restaurants, museums, Sports Club/LA, parks and public transportation.
