东部第68街45号由吉尔伯特(Gilbert)在1911年为艾米丽·布鲁斯特(Emily Brewster)弗雷林格森(Emly Brewster Frelinghuysen)建造。 Frelinghuysen家族在商业和政治领域举足轻重,并取得了成功,辉煌的历史可以追溯到革命前的美国战争。 1953年,演员和记者Richard Kollmar和Dorothy Kilgallen购买了这所房子。他们在房子四楼的演播室广播中播放了1950年代颇受欢迎的“ Dorothy and Dick?早餐秀”。基尔加伦(Kilgallen)最著名的是美国标志性电视连续剧“ What's My Line?”的主角。在上东区(East East Side)的黄金地段建造比例宏大的房屋,位于East 68th Street 45号是一个出色的联排别墅,不容错过。
This grand neo-Federal townhome is perfectly located on one of the most beautiful tree-lined blocks, home to numerous impressive mansions, just a block from Central Park, at the heart of the Upper East Side Historic District. With a highly coveted 25 feet in width and five stories above the cellar, this townhouse offers a rare opportunity to create a single family home, restoring the grandeur and scale with which it was originally built. Currently configured as five floor-thru units, it will be delivered vacant and is also a great investment opportunity or could be appropriate for institutional, foundation or government use.
The house?s desirable width and its impressive depth (built with a partial extension almost full on the 100? lot) both enable a buyer a multitude of options in laying out a grandly scaled home that can easily accommodate 5 or 6 bedrooms, all with baths en-suite; two floors dedicated to entertaining, including a huge eat-in chef?s kitchen with separate breakfast room; a luxuriously scaled, full floor master suite with two dressing rooms, a sitting room/study, and an enormous master bath. All of this could be crowned by a planted and furnished roof deck with spectacular city views. The house is approximately 13,000+/- square feet inclusive of the full height cellar. All ceilings were dropped 8-12+ inches for recessed lighting in the 1980s, and currently measure 9 ft. on the 1st floor, 12.5 ft. on the parlor floor, 10.5 ft. on the 3rd floor, and 10 ft. on the 4th and 5th floors.
Designed by the renowned C.P.H. Gilbert, architect of many of Fifth Avenue?s storied early 20th century mansions, the house?s handsome classical facade features: a rusticated stone base with Flemish bond brick with yellow headers at the upper floors; a heavy stone lintel on brackets over central entrance; a wrought-iron balcony across the second floor; and a modillioned Renaissance-style roof cornice.
45 East 68th Street was constructed in 1911-12 by Gilbert for Emily Brewster Frelinghuysen. The Frelinghuysen family were prominent and successful in business and politics, with an illustrious past extending to pre-Revolutionary War America. In 1953, the house was purchased by actors and journalists Richard Kollmar and Dorothy Kilgallen. They broadcast their popular 1950s "Dorothy and Dick? breakfast show on the radio from the fourth floor studio of the house. Kilgallen was most famous as the star of the iconic American television series "What's My Line?" This is truly an extraordinary opportunity to create a grandly proportioned home in a prime Upper East Side location. 45 East 68th Street is an exceptional townhouse offering ? one not to be missed.,This grand neo-Federal townhome is perfectly located on one of the most beautiful tree-lined blocks, home to numerous impressive mansions, just a block from Central Park, at the heart of the Upper East Side Historic District.
