Description
The Overview At the turn of the 19th century, the architectural partnership of Hubert & Pirsson were commissioned by William Rhinelander to design a row of ten Queen Anne style single family homes, of which number 148 East 89 is a standout. Called "spectacularly romantic" by the AIA Guide to New York City, number 148 retains its original paneled double entrance doors, whimsical iron railings and poetic entrance, recessed behind a dramatic, wide archway. With its rusticated brick facade, handsome architecture and Oriel windows, this five story single family home is part of a charming urban streetscape in a prime Carnegie Hill location. High ceilings, oak wainscoting, original oak pocket doors, six fireplaces, excellent natural light, a prime position on a quiet tree-lined street with neighboring landmarked row houses and south-facing garden are several of the many features of this historic home. With approximately 4,500 interior square feet (including the basement) and four to five bedrooms, there is plenty of room for everyone. In a prime location, sought after for its many conveniences and neighborly feel, 148 East 89th is available for the first time in more than fifty years. Inside The garden level features a receiving room, formal dining room and kitchen in the rear extension. A powder room is conveniently located adjacent to the dining room. Up the stairs on the parlour floor is the living room, library with adjacent wet bar and full bathroom. On the third floor is the master bedroom suite and two full baths, or alternatively, a master bedroom and a second bedroom. Two additional bedrooms, one with en suite bath, are on the fourth floor. Upstairs (on the fifth floor) is a fifth bedroom, or gym or den-a large, sunny room capable of various uses. Also of note are the six gorgeous fireplaces, the tremendous closet space throughout, the lofty 10+ ft ceilings in most rooms, and the beautiful skylight at the top of the stairs.
