178 E 75th St, New York City, NY, 10021

<p>178 East 75th Street is an iconic home of distinction thoughtfully renovated and curated by renowned international artist, Ilana Goor and her husband. Built circa 1903, this 5-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom single family home is one of only approximately 75 carriage houses left in New York City and includes a drive-in garage on the street level. A rare blend of character and modern luxury, a carriage house on this grand a scale is uncommon in a city where many landmark carriage homes stand out for their instantly recognizable facades rather than their size. This home offers both. The 6-story elevator home literally rises above and offers a fresh exciting view from every angle.</p><p>In addition to over 6,600 square feet of interior space, there is a serene south-facing garden patio as well as a 1200+ sq. ft. roof deck with birds-eye views of the neighborhood. Inside, bright open spaces, skylights, double height and 10-12 ft. ceilings bring a sophisticated, gallery-like ambiance to every level. Gorgeous hardwood floors, exposed brick, recessed lighting, and oversize windows that welcome abundant natural light grace the home and create a one-of-a-kind atmosphere for creativity. The show-stopping solarium-style living room overlooks the garden and trees behind and boasts convenient built-in storage as well as built-in speakers.</p><p>The street level includes a large gallery space with 22 ft. ceilings next to the garage which could also be a reception area, lounge, work/hobby space, or an extension of the garage fitting up to 3 cars, a precious find in the city. Next, the second level includes a spacious billiard room overlooking the gallery below plus a self-contained bedroom with en suite bath with direct elevator access that's perfect for live-in staff.</p><p>The kitchen, dining room, and solarium living room are seamlessly open on the third level with the chef's kitchen featuring a Sub-Zero refrigerator and Wolf range/oven. The fourth level includes two bedrooms, fireplace, and two full baths. The fifth level boasts a lavish full-floor primary bedroom suite with small kitchenette, wood-burning fireplace, two walk-in closets, and a sun-soaked, spa-like bathroom with double shower and Jacuzzi tub, plus stairs to the rooftop terrace.</p><p>Finally, the English basement offers a full floor of amenities for exercising and pampering yourself at home. In addition to a fitness room with shower, bath, and powder room, there are a sauna, 2nd eat-in kitchen, and family room/lounge. Squeeze in a yoga session, detox in the sauna, grab a post-workout snack or smoothie, refresh in the bath, and take some rest or enjoy an in-home massage in the lounge. The ultra private garden patio is accessed from this level. Nestled amidst climbing ivy and brick walls, its a rare and lovely retreat hidden in the bustling city.</p><p>178 East 75th Street is located on an historic, spectacular block on the Upper East Side that showcases some of the city's most well-known architectural styles and is also home to the highly rated St. Jean Baptiste High School. Just 4 blocks from Central Park and 2 blocks from the subway, the finest dining, culture, recreation, shopping, and educational institutions in Manhattan are at your fingertips.</p><p>This move-in ready home is a unique opportunity where history, fine art, and modern luxury converge. The artworks, Rolls Royce, and furnishings are available for sale (asking price for home, art, furnishings, and Rolls Royce is $37.5 million). The home's exquisite artworks are from Ilana Goor and her husband's personal collection and are reminiscent of Ilana's world-famous museum in Jaffa, Israel where her own works are blended with world-class pieces, curated with impeccable taste and an eye for the rare and wonderful.</p>
