Property Description
An Architectural Masterpiece by Richard Morris Hunt
Set within the storybook enclave of Manhattan's Treadwell Farm Historic District, 225 East 62nd Street is a rare and distinguished 1873 Gilded Age townhouse designed by legendary architect Richard Morris Hunt. Gracefully positioned along a quiet, tree-lined block on the Upper East Side, this 18-foot-wide residence beautifully pairs its historic French Second Empire provenance with effortless modern sophistication.
Impeccably maintained, the classic four-step stoop, intricate wrought-iron railings, and delicate Juliette balcony set a grand tone before you even step inside. Spanning nearly 3,500 square feet across four sunlit stories—plus a finished English basement and a rare private garden carriage house—the home offers rare volume, warm natural light from its southern exposure, and timeless elegance.
