Description
Located on one of the Upper East Side's most historic and pristine townhouse blocks, 232 East 68th Street is a beautifully appointed, 18ft wide, two-family townhouse featuring a gated arrival and brand-new facade. Offering approximately 6,000 square feet of interior space plus 490 square feet of exterior, and three separate entrances, the home is as versatile as it is distinguished - currently configured as an owner's triplex plus a duplex rental above yet easily reimagined as a magnificent single-family residence or community facility property.
The owner's triplex residence is anchored by a dramatic south-facing formal living room with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that open directly onto a sun-drenched, private garden - a true urban sanctuary. A formal dining room with a wood-burning fireplace and custom built-ins sets the stage for elegant entertaining, while a chef's kitchen features a breakfast bar and premium appliances including a Viking four-burner range, Bosch dishwasher, and Sub-Zero refrigerator. The lower level offers a flexible recreation room nearly 60 ft in length with separate street entrance and natural light from a skylight above - ideal for a home workspace or low-traffic professional use, and an excellent fit for an architect, designer, therapist, or practitioner who values the privacy of incoming and outgoing guests. A dedicated laundry room, wine storage, and extensive built-in storage complete this level. Central air with multi-zones, elegant hardwood floors, and extensive custom storage exist throughout the home.
Above the main living/dining floor, the upper story of the owner's triplex boasts 10.5ft ceilings and is devoted entirely to bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a generous walk-in closet and 5-piece sandstone-clad ensuite bath, a second bedroom, and an additional full bath - providing a quiet, private retreat well removed from the home's main entertaining and working spaces.
The upper duplex, accessible via its own private gated entrance, arrives to a marble foyer and is currently rented to a market rate tenant. The third floor presents a sun-filled living room with a fireplace, an adjoining den, expansive kitchen, formal dining room, powder room, and laundry. The fourth floor houses a skylight, generously sized primary suite with a five-fixture spa-like bath and a wall of custom closets plus private balcony, a second bedroom, a home office or optional third bedroom and additional full bath.
For the visionary buyer or investor, the property offers significant upside. With buildable rights of 8,500 square feet for residential use and 10,500 square feet for community facility use, it holds strong potential for future expansion or conversion to a medical, educational, or nonprofit facility. Set on one of the Upper East Side's most coveted blocks, 232 East 68th Street enjoys an incredibly convenient and accessible location, with effortless access to schools, world-class museums, exceptional restaurants, art galleries, and the boutiques on Madison Avenue. Whether enjoyed as a magnificent private residence, a turnkey investment, or a sophisticated hybrid of home and workspace, this is an exceptional offering in one of Manhattan's most desirable neighborhoods.

1/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI just read my past review of this school from July 2015. To be honest after everything I have heard about the school now I came to the conclusion that students and some parents are placing the blame on the teachers because they do not want to admit to themselves their child is 90% of the problem. Yes, some (and when I say some I am only referring to maybe 2 or 3) teachers may need to stop lowering their level to the students when it comes to confrontation with students, but this school can still be a top school. Do not be deterred from sending your child here because of a few bad seeds who prefer to cut class and bad talk the teachers. What the school needs to do is do what they were doing when my daughters attended here and that is to start weeding out the bad seeds. I did realize when my second daughter started to attend here there were so many students from Harlem here and guess where those students are now because they didn’t do what they were suppose to do when they attended here? Half of the females my daughter was friends with are now mothers at the ages 21. Half of the guys are with low paying jobs, still living with their mothers, or are in jail! So what we should blame the teachers for that too? My now 23 year old daughter graduated from this high school a half of a year early and has learned a lot. I mean she had a rough last year here because of her attitude and 1 teacher she just could not get along with, but other then that I’d say her time at the school was a success. She is in a high paying career making more than 3 times the NYC 15 dollar minimum wage. My other daughter left in grade 11 because we moved and she was hanging with the wrong (Harlem) kids. Don’t get me wrong, I am not suggesting people from Harlem are the cause of this school going down a bit, but the majority of the Harlem students that came into this school the year my second daughter started to attend were no bueno. My second daughter is now 21. She graduated a semester early from college. She still needs a little guidance here and there, but she can financially support herself. With that said I still like the school. Right now my son is in a school that is rated 7/10, but if I ever had to move back to NYC I would consider putting him in this school.Parent Review3y ago - Jhs 167 Robert F Wagner

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is absolutely horrible there are fights everyday and no one gets suspended but people get suspended for skipping afterschool that is optional and teachers don’t care about the students, the education sucks the environment sucks and there is so much harassment and bullying and the dean doesn’t do anything to prevent it honestly the worst decision of my life putting this school on my list. Also if your new there gonna try to make it all fun but once you reach 7th grade its hell.Student Review2mo ago - East Side Elementary School, PS 267
