38-40 E 76th St New York City, NY 10021

38-40 East 76th Street stands as one of the most architecturally significant townhouses in Manhattan—a double-wide, 17,000 SF+/- residence reimagined as a living work of art. Originally built as two Queen Anne brownstones in 1882, the home has been masterfully unified into a singular, museum-quality dwelling offering 6 bedrooms (convertible to 8), five 5 baths, and 8 powder rooms. Designed as both a sanctuary and a showcase, its grand scale is matched by an extraordinary commitment to detail: 11’ ceilings, hand-selected Italian marble, custom bronze vestibules, Liagre showroom oak floors, and glass-wrapped terraces invite light and serenity into every corner. Three sculptural staircases—each a feat of design—complement a central elevator, connecting six floors of curated living and entertaining spaces. From a private rooftop basketball court to a full-floor primary suite and saltwater pool illuminated by a skylight, this home elevates luxury to a cinematic level. Gaggenau appliances, bespoke millwork, and radiant heated floors throughout affirm that nothing was overlooked.<br><br>Located just off Madison Avenue and one block from Central Park, the home’s positioning on the Upper East Side’s Gold Coast is as elite as its construction. Bulletproof street-facing windows, automated security shutters, a rooftop generator, and a private sidewalk elevator deliver fortified privacy without compromising elegance. Every architectural decision was made with permanence, discretion, and artistry in mind. A heated sidewalk, landscaped rooftop terrace, and a fully integrated wellness level—including a steam room, sauna, and fitness center—transform this residence into a private resort in the heart of Manhattan. With a rich cultural backdrop that includes the Carlyle Hotel, The Met, and the boutiques of Madison Avenue, 38-40 East 76th Street is more than a home—it is an unparalleled legacy property that redefines townhouse living at the highest level.
