245 E 52nd St, New York, NY 10022

Tucked along a charming stretch of Midtown East, 245 East 52nd Street presents a rare and highly flexible townhouse opportunity-thoughtfully configured as two expansive triplex residences, one occupying the lower floors and the other the upper. This "smart split" layout offers a natural balance: ideal for an owner seeking a live-with-income setup, a multigenerational residence, or an investor looking for strong, adaptable cash flow. Each triplex lives like a true home rather than a typical apartment. The lower residence enjoys a grounded, private feel with seamless access to outdoor space, while the upper triplex rises above the city with light, air, and skyline perspectives. Both units benefit from generous proportions, multiple bedrooms, and a sense of separation that makes them equally compelling in their own right. A standout feature-rare even among townhouses-is the commercial-grade elevator, providing effortless access to every level of the home. It's a quiet but powerful advantage, opening the door to a wide range of uses, from luxury rental configurations to a seamless single-family conversion. What makes this property particularly compelling is its versatility. Keep the current two-unit layout and enjoy immediate usability, or reimagine the entire building into a grand single-family residence. In a neighborhood defined by proximity-to the United Nations, Midtown offices, and the East River-this townhouse sits at the intersection of convenience and opportunity. Whether you're an end-user, investor, or developer, 245 East 52nd Street offers a canvas that adapts to your vision, with scale, infrastructure, and flexibility already in place.
