Property Description
The façade of 225 retains much of the original integrity of its formal French Second Empire style and has been lovingly renovated and maintained with its original four-step stoop, lovely wrought-iron railings, and added Juliette balcony. Blending historic charm with modern living, the interior measures nearly 18' wide spread across four stories plus a finished English Basement. The finished house depth of 34' ensures that radiant southern sunlight floods each floor of this home throughout the day. Encompassing a total of approximately 2,850 square feet, this townhouse consists of 4 bedrooms, one home office, one study, 3 full bathrooms, one powder room, and a Studio/Carriage House.
From the front entrance vestibule one enters through elegant french doors into the Parlor Level. The home offers an integrated dining and entertaining experience with an expansive Eat-In Kitchen that flows seamlessly into the Dining Room. This Chef's Kitchen offers a 6-burner commercial range, stainless-steel appliances including Sub-Zero and new dishwasher, beautiful custom solid maple millwork cabinetry, mosaic backsplash, generous amounts of stone countertops, and abundant pantry space. Beyond is a spacious Dining Room with access to the Garden and Studio. Additionally, a guest Powder Room completes this level.
From the Parlor Level one ascends a staircase to the gracious double Living Room which spans the entire depth of the house. The space is bathed in sunlight through four elegant 9' windows. With gorgeous Douglas Fir wood floors (on 3 Levels) and 10'6” ceiling heights this Second Level is ideal for entertaining and displaying one's art collection. The lighting systems can be modulated to provide uniform illumination throughout yet customizable to highlight the art. The space is further enhanced by the original 19th Century hand-carved marble mantlepiece and surround while a graceful, sweeping staircase leads to the Third Level Primary Bedroom Suite.
The expansive Primary Suite with south facing Bedroom enjoys leafy views over the surrounding picturesque Treadwell townhouses of 62nd Street. Beyond is an enormous custom-fitted walk-in closet with copious storage, a cozy Library in the rear, and a marble ensuite Primary Bathroom with dual vanity. The bedroom contains the second fireplace with original marble mantle.
On the Fourth Level are the two Bedrooms, one with fireplace, an Office and one shared Bathroom.
On the Lower Level, the finished English Basement has the second, independent entrance from the street. It features a spacious Bedroom, full Bathroom with walk-in shower, Laundry Room with full-size washer-dryer, large Storage Room, Mechanical Room, and generous closets.
This townhome features a special added bonus. In the back garden is a separate brick Studio built in the 1930s and reminiscent of a small Carriage House. This Studio enjoys privacy, radiant heated floors and air conditioning for year-round comfort, and a skylight. With endless creative options for use it could be a perfect home office, meditation/yoga space, or a pilates studio, to name but a few.
This prime Upper East Side location is near to some of the finest Boutiques, Dining, Museums, and Transportation.
