Property Description
Located in the Treadwell Farm Historic District, 240 East 61st Street is a beautifully designed contemporary townhouse. Rarely does one encounter this level of craftsmanship. Created with the discerning homeowner in mind, the residence is both elegant and versatile—perfect for entertaining formally or informally, while also offering an ideal setting to display fine art.Designed by Wayne Turett of the Turett Collaborative, the residence showcases a sleek, contemporary aesthetic rarely seen on the Upper East Side. Its striking steel-and-glass rear façade frames views of trees, private gardens, and the city skyline, bathing the interiors in natural light. Measuring 20 feet in width, the home offers six full bedrooms along with five full and two half bathrooms, thoughtfully laid out for both comfort and style.
Inside, soaring 12-foot ceilings on the parlor level create a gracious sense of scale. The formal entry foyer is anchored by a custom gas fireplace with a diamond glass base, setting a refined tone that flows into a state-of-the-art chef's kitchen, an elegant living room, and a dining area that opens to a terrace overlooking the private garden—perfect for gatherings or quiet evenings at home.
An architecturally striking staircase leads to the upper floors, where the expansive primary suite spans the south side of the residence with two walk-in closets and a spa-like en-suite bath. Opposite, a spacious secondary bedroom with adjoining office, full bath, and washer/dryer completes the level. The top floor is centered around a dramatic, south-facing bedroom with access to a generous terrace and a double vanity bath. To the north, two additional bedrooms overlook East 61st Street and share a full bathroom.
On the garden level, a versatile one-bedroom suite with a separate entrance, kitchen, and full bath provides an ideal space for guests or staff. Below, the lower level offers epoxy flooring, a second washer/dryer, and top-of-the-line mechanicals, including central air conditioning and a Control4 smart home system.
Situated in the heart of the Upper East Side, 240 East 61st Street enjoys one of Manhattan's most coveted addresses. Just moments away are Madison Avenue's exclusive boutiques, galleries, and cultural landmarks such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Frick Collection. Central Park provides an abundance of greenery and recreation, while world-class dining and charming cafés further enrich daily life. With its blend of historic character and contemporary sophistication, the Upper East Side offers the perfect setting for this remarkable home.
