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. 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.
