Location: Upper East Side, Manhattan, New York City, New York, USA (Blocks Away from the Met Museum and Central Park)
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms, 2.5 Baths (Sleeps 7)
A true gem! Forget staying in stogey NYC hotels with closet size rooms. This is like transporting your luxury surburban home in the middle on New York City.
While this house is absolutely elegant for anyone, it is especially ideal for families. We have a crib, high chair, outside jungle gym, toys, books, strollers, bikes, car seats ...you name it. Just show up!
If you appreciate historic renovation than you will absolutely love this special home. Our 1870's Row House was near dilapidation. It took three years to return it back its original grandeur while adding top of the line upgrades and systems. It has central AC, security system, laundry room, Cable/Internet. The House has been featured in several home magazines.
The house is very functional and comfortable. While you could classify the renovation as museum quality, we made this a house to be lived in and enjoyed. The kitchen is the largest room in the house with counter seating for five. Off the kitchen is a comfortable sectional leather couch with a flat screen tv. In addition to the three bedrooms, there is a private office with plenty of desk space and wireless internet.
We have a cleaning lady who will come every other day included in your price. She is available (at extra cost) for daily maid service and/or child care.
We are located in the tony Upper East Side neighborhood of New York City. (East 82nd and Second Avenue). This charming, 1870’s brownstone is just five blocks straight East from the Metropolitan Art Museum and Central Park. It is three blocks from Park Avenue and the famous 5th Avenue and Madison Avenue shopping. There is an express bus just steps from the building and two different subway lines are each about a five minute walk. We are two bloks away from Madona's newly pruchased $30 million mansion.
It is very centrally located to transportation, museums, shops and cafes. It is a very charming block with mostly row-houses. If you ever saw the movie "You've Got Mail" with Meg Ryan/Tom Hanks...this is about as close as it gets. Our house is 2200 SF with three bedroom and 2.5 bathrooms.
The Master Bedroom faces the garden and is exceptionally quiet.
It has a queen bed with a Kluft mattress and Frette linens. The master bathroom has an oversized steam shower that has 8 shower heads. There is a seven foot Porcelain soaking tub.
The 2nd bedroom is quite large and also serves as a play room. It has a Twin bed over a Full size bed. (bunkbed) There is an in-suite bathroom. There are childrens toys for ages 1-8.
The Third bedroom has a twin trundle bed. (One mattress pull out under the bed) There is a mini crib and changing table.
We limit group size to seven adults. (exceptions for small children)
Our price per night is $1250 and includes maid service three days per week. There are no additional fees or taxes. We can reduce our rate to $850 for stays longer than one week and last minute bookings. Please inquire.
We live in the house parts of the year and rent it out for the times we are gone. When we rent out the house, we lock most personal items in a closet.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2001
We are a couple with three kids. Both orginally both from Utah, met met here in New York 15 years ago. I graduated from Columbia University and used to work at a large consulting firm. Now I run the rental units and enjoy staying home with my children.
My husband works in business development for a software company.
Why the Owner Chose Upper East Side
Prior to buying our building, we lived in four neighborhoods with in NYC. There is a reason why most long term residents of NYC eventually migrate to the Upper East Side. It is similar to Hyde Park in London. The Upper East Side is consistently manicured with clean sidewalks, flower boxes and splendid street cafes and boutique shops. In fact, it is such a nice neighborhood we send our kids to the public elementary school.
The real draw for the Upper East Side is Central Park. We are located a five minute walk to some on the prettiest areas of the park. Don't take just our word about the location.... Madona just bought a $40 million house four blocks away.
The Unique Benefits of this House
This will be a completely different experience than staying at a midtown hotel. While only a five minute cab or subway from Grand Central Station, this location is far less bohemian and noisy. You will hear birds out the window, see squirrels in the trees and have people greet you as you walk down the street. The city gets overwhelming if you are running around seeing tourist sites. Our guests all comment how nice it is to come back to a peaceful setting. I guarantee after three days you will consider yourself a New Yorker.
