Perfectly positioned on one of Manhattan's most coveted blocks between Fifth and Madison Avenues, moments from Central Park, 5 E 63rd Street is a newly completed, never-before-occupied Neo-Classical townhouse mansion of extraordinary scale and distinction. Originally designed by the renowned architectural firm Heins & LaFarge and landmarked, the home underwent a meticulous four-year restoration and reimagination-honoring its historic pedigree while incorporating contemporary design and engineering. The result is one of the most exceptional single-family residences in New York City.
Spanning over 16,000 square feet across eight meticulously curated levels, the residence offers eight bedrooms, ten full bathrooms, four powder rooms, twelve working wood-burning fireplaces, and approximately 3,000 square feet of private outdoor space, capped by a spectacular rooftop terrace with direct panoramic views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline. Historic architectural elements are seamlessly integrated with contemporary craftsmanship throughout.
Sunlight pours through custom-made Austrian casement windows and a remarkable walkable skylight that illuminates the upper entertaining levels. Imported, sustainably sourced Italian marble and hand-finished details reflect uncompromising quality.
From arrival, an impressive 24-foot-high entrance hall showcases imported Italian ivory limestone floors and a magnificent custom hand-forged iron and brass staircase. The foyer and private elevator are adorned with exquisite Venetian plaster crafted by master European artisans, creating a timeless sense of understated elegance.
Designed for intimate living and grand-scale entertaining, the residence features an exceptional multi-kitchen configuration plus an expansive parlor-style entertaining level. The entire third floor is dedicated to the primary suite, offering an expansive walk-through dressing gallery, dual spa-inspired baths, a working fireplace, and refined finishes throughout-an elevated private retreat within the home.
The lower floors offer true club-like amenities, including a traditional Hammam, a large Finnish cedar-lined sauna, a fitness center, a wet bar, direct access to a Zen-inspired garden, and a fully independent caretaker's suite with private entrance. The lowest level includes a professionally designed home theater, an Old World wine cellar and tasting lounge, and state-of-the-art commercial-grade infrastructure throughout.
A rare trophy residence-where landmarked Neo-Classical architecture meets flawless modern execution-offering a once-in-a-generation opportunity in the heart of the Upper East Side.
