Located on a quiet, tree-lined block in the heart of the Henderson Place Historic District, 549 East 86th Street is a rare Queen Anne townhouse of singular charm, situated just moments from Carl Schurz Park, the East River promenade, and Gracie Mansion. Its distinctive red brick and slate facade, projecting bay window, and ornate roofline announce its pedigree from the street, while inside, Brazilian cherry hardwood floors run throughout, and a graceful, curved staircase winds to the top floor, crowned by a central skylight that floods the home with natural light. This Landmark Townhouse was built in 1882 and was designed by Lamb & Rich. The parlor level offers a formal living room with a wood-burning fireplace and garden access, alongside a library with a second fireplace and custom built-ins. The garden level houses a generous eat-in kitchen with cherry cabinetry, limestone countertops, Ann Sacks subway tile walls, a farmhouse sink, a sub-zero double door refrigerator and freezer, a stainless-steel Thermador stove, and Miele appliances, plus a dining area and powder room with direct access to the private furnished garden. The second floor features two bedrooms, each with a wood-burning fireplace, served by a full bath. The primary suite on the third floor is serene and spacious, with an en-suite bath clad in dramatic dark marble, a soaking tub, separate shower, and a bonus room ideal as a walk-in closet or study. Above it all, a private furnished roof deck offers open sky views and a perfect outdoor retreat. Additional features include multi-zone central HVAC, Miele washer/dryer, and central burglar, fire and carbon monoxide alarm. One of only 32 homes in the Henderson Place Historic District, this is Upper East Side living at its most rare.
