120 EAST 80 STREET · #4

This elegant 4-room home is situated on the fourth floor of a storied Upper East Side landmarked mansion. A one-bedroom plus library, the layout has a gracious flow and the ceilings are almost 9 and 1/2 feet. This is a rare opportunity to live in a piece of New York history. Entering directly from the elevator into a semi-private foyer, one enters the windowed library which is intimate and full of character. The living room features planted bay windows overlooking the tree-lined block of East 80th Street, flooding the space with light and providing a quintessentially New York backdrop. The windowed kitchen has been thoughtfully renovated with custom cabinetry, natural stone counters, and top-tier appliances including Sub-Zero and Fisher & Paykel. The bathroom, also renovated, features finishes and fixtures of the highest quality. This home sits two floors above the former residence of the late Mario Buatta, the celebrated interior designer. 120 East 80th Street is one of four distinguished Federal-style townhouses built between Park and Lexington Avenues in 1929 and 1930, designed by the renowned firm Cross and Cross as the private mansion of banker George Whitney and his wife Martha. The landmarked cooperative offers a grand entrance with a sweeping circular staircase, elevator, just five homes, and a live-in resident manager. Pets and pied-a-terre permitted. 2% flip tax paid by purchaser.
