Sophisticated, special and perfectly renovated, this 5 story house, with elevator, has more character and charm than most. Every window has a pretty exposure of trees or a lovely architectural facade of a neighboring building. The current owners have not only replaced or restored every inch, including a brand new stoop, facade and all systems and fireplaces in the house, but they have designed and decorated it to the highest standards. Re-imagined by top designer Jeffrey Bilhuber, 167 East 71 is perfect for chic parties and fun everyday living.

The garden level (with separate entrance) has a wonderful white eat-in-kitchen with top appliances and opens to a cozy yet spacious dining room with wood burning fireplace. A glass walled family room opens to a pristine garden designed by renowned garden architect Barbara Paca.

A graceful stoop allows entrance into a foyer that leads to a charming reception room, furnished beautifully and often used during parties as additional entertaining space. The living room, also with fireplace, on this level is perfectly proportioned and has at the garden end a glass room that functions as sunroom by day and intimate seating area by night. Truly magical.

A very pretty staircase leads up to a master bedroom floor with master library and bath. The next floor has two bedrooms, each with an ensuite full bath and tree top exposures. The top floor has a lovely bedroom with perfect bath as well as a gym and office or staff room.

East 71st Street is one of the best townhouse blocks in all of New York with proximity to the most desirable and special part of Lexington and Third Avenues.
