1871 House

Neighborhood: Nestled among stylish brownstones and stately Townhouses on a beautiful residential block, this late nineteenth century townhouse (circa 1871), is centrally located just a stroll away from Central Park and Madison Avenue. Flanked by prestigious Park & Lexington Avenues, the house is set amid Manhattan's most elegant neighborhood on the Upper East Side.

Because the 1871 House is at the epicenter of a chic & bustling neighborhood, many of the Upper East Side's finest restaurants are in close proximity as are Madison Avenue's chic boutiques and stylish cafes. Neighborhood antique shops, galleries, specialty stores and world-renowned museums are also within easy walking distance.

Accommodations/lodging: In its historic landmark building, six unusually spacious and well-proportioned apartments are filled with antiques. Decorated with warmth and a gracious ambiance, old world charm is evident in the decorative ironwork covering the front door, decorative moldings around windows, high ceilings, hardwood floors, and ornate marble and wood fireplace mantelpieces. Beds of antique iron and brass, a sleigh bed with netting, a Tuscan cottage bed and a cherry sheaf of wheat bed grace the guest bedrooms decorated with lace curtains and country quilts. A pleasant cedar terrace (a rare Manhattan amenity!) has colorful potted plants, elegant teak furniture and a cafe table with chair set.

Business Travelers: With its central city location and convenient access to La Guardia and JFK Airports 1871 House is ideal for business travelers. Business executives, tired of staying in the larger chain hotels, enjoy the house's historic ambiance as well as the opportunity to walk to midtown corporate addresses. All apartments have modern conveniences; private baths, A.C., TV's and phones/modems for internet access.
