This beautiful single-family townhouse located on one of Historic Murray Hill's most idyllic tree-lined, townhouse blocks has been carefully and thoughtfully renovated throughout the years. Rich in historical details, 121 East 35th Street boasts five bedrooms, four full bathrooms, one powder room, multiple outdoor spaces, and eight wood-burning fireplaces spread across five stories.Built-in 1856, the home is filled with architectural details including original moldings and floors. Once home to famed commercial artist Birney A. Lettick, whose portraits often graced the cover of Times Magazine, his original studio is still intact. Previously, the townhouse was also home to Frederick Lewis Allen, then the editor of Harper's Magazine. This one-of-a-kind townhouse lends itself to both single-family use as well as live with income by utilizing the garden floor apartment and two-family zoning. A truly unique opportunity to own a piece of Manhattan history that's centrally located to midtown offices, and in close proximity to Nomad and substantial ongoing developments in areas of Murray Hill and Grand Central.
