THE HISTORIC ELEGANCE OF 36 EAST 69TH ST.
Situated within the prestigious Upper East Side Historic District, 36 East 69th St. is a testament to architectural refinement, originally constructed around 1879. This 25-foot-wide, six-story elevatored mansion underwent two redesigns by eminent architects, Jardine, Kent & Jardine in 1903, and Carrere & Hastings in 1923, commissioned by Mrs. Theodore Pratt. The property, initially converted into a cooperative in 1984 with 12 units, now comprises 10 units and is attended to by a dedicated full-time superintendent. This historic residence seamlessly combines period grandeur with contemporary luxury, offering a rare and enduring sense of home.
