This distinguished five-story townhouse at 123 80th Street presides over the leafy streetscape between Park and Lexington Avenues in the heart of Manhattan’s Upper East Side.
Built in 1901, its notable past residents include movie producer Neil F. Agnew and fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger.
The brick and limestone Neo-Georgian façade opens to the light-filled garden level. Beyond the grand foyer is a powder room, sitting room, an office, and double doors to the patio. Also on this level is a chef’s kitchen with a wood-burning fireplace. One of seven in the home, the fireplace is adorned with pictorial Delft tiles, which, combined with the latticework, boxed parquet floors, echoes the early Dutch influence of New York City townhouses.
The parlor level houses the formal living room, the dining room, and wet bar. The third floor offers a lavish primary suite with a wood-burning fireplace, large walk-in closet, and full bathroom. Across the landing is a wood-paneled study with a full bathroom.
The staircase rises to two fourth-floor bedrooms, each with ample closet space, a full bathroom, and a working fireplace. A huge skylight atop the stairs floods the fifth floor with natural light.
The highlight here is a sitting room with a wet bar and French doors onto a delightful 126-square-foot terrace. Rounding out this level is an en suite bedroom, guest powder room, and laundry area.
The basement offers a second laundry, mechanical room, walk-in cedar closet, and a custom-built wine cellar with temperature-regulated storage for up to 750 bottles.
