THE LANDMARK BLOCK The East 70th Street block on which it is positioned between Park and Lexington Avenues is renowned for the roll call of extraordinary architects that make its streetscape one of the favorite blocks of New York: 107, Walker and Gillette; 123, Trowbridge and Livingston; 125, the 40 foot-wide Paul Mellon house; 131, Grosvenor Atterbury; 124, William Lescaze. With most of the development on the block occurring between 1869 and 1879, the entire block of East 70th Street between Park and Lexington was fully built with rows of townhouses by 1880, including the row of six houses from 108 to 116 East 70th Street. This row, completed by architect James Santon in the Anglo-Italianate style, was built by Christopher Keyes and numbers 112 and 114 are unique for retaining many of their original faade details. THE RESIDENCE Presently configured as a 7-unit cooperative, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a 20 foot wide townhouse on a prime residential block. With a rusticated English basement and positioned on a 100 foot-deep lot with a large rear garden, this five-story residence is ready to be converted back to an exquisitely conceived single-family townhouse on the perfect block. A once in a lifetime opportunity.
