SOMPTUOUS PROPERTY 17 East 65th Street New York, New York, 10065 USA PRICE $ 35,000,000 Originally one of the first modernist townhouses in New York, this iconic property, rich in history and sophisticated architecture, is one of the finest examples of postmodern excellence. Sherman Mr. Fairchild, for whom the house is named and also a prolific inventor, commissioned his architects, William Hamby and George Nelson, to create a house as innovative as him. They have succeeded and the house is still a unique architectural tour de force in New York. The contemporary red granite facade of the building was completed in 1981 by postmodern architect Milton Klein, and hints at what contemporary wonders await inside. The 9,440 square foot mansion, 25 feet wide, is defined by a large four-story hall. With an unprecedented breadth of walls and illuminated by the natural light of a nearly 30-foot high ceiling entirely composed of framed steel glass, this space offers an unparalleled opportunity to showcase the world's finest art collections. the most demanding and the largest in the world. A zigzag system of glass banisters seems to float above the room, purposefully built to facilitate the movement of art throughout the house. The result is an airy alternative to the traditional stairwell. Floating stairs access public entertainment spaces, including the observation gallery, a chef's kitchen and a formal dining room. The unique plan offers huge spectacular spaces as well as 5 bedrooms, 6 full bathrooms, 2 bathrooms and a study that looks like a space in The Frick. A second back staircase provides access to all the private homes of the house. Elegantly appointed, the spacious master suite has two full bathrooms, floor-to-ceiling windows and several balconies overlooking 65th Street. An office, a library, a wine cellar, a vault and four additional bedrooms, including a mezzanine impregnated with the same ceiling that adorns the great room of the house, complete this unique offer. The townhouse boasts an exclusive setting on 65th Street between the 5th and Madison Avenues, arguably one of the best blocks of the New York Gold Coast on the Upper East Side and just steps from Central Park. Fifth Avenue is also home to one of the highest concentrations of cultural institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, The Whitney, The Frick Collection, The Guggenheim and the world's most famous galleries. Some of the world class hotels in the area include Stone, Plaza, Carlyle, Mark, Lowell and Plaza Athenee. Dozens of good restaurants line the streets.
