COVETED CORNER HOUSE ON JONES WOOD SECRET GARDEN

Welcome to 157 East 65th Street, the largest and most coveted corner house on Jones Wood, an exclusive 110' x 80' European-style private garden created in the 1920s. Jones Wood is the only private townhouse garden association on the Upper East Side. 157 is one of just 12 single family homes exclusively situated around this secret garden. This 6,000 square-foot, gut-renovated townhouse with elevator is in triple-mint condition and provides generous living spaces across 6 immaculately-renovated levels, including a finished basement with gym, all accessible via modern elevator. The 5-bedroom property stands on a picturesque, tree-lined street, and features numerous modern amenities such as: multiple oversized exposures, rift-sawn oak floors, automated lighting, radiant heating, a surround-sound system, full gym, digital-access video alarm, key-fob entry, and a full bar perfect for entertaining.

Garden Level: Welcome guests through the main entrance for direct access to living space, or through the convenient service entrance leading into a thoughtfully designed foyer with seating and storage for shoes and coats. A fully-equipped chef's kitchen with radiant-headed floors serves the picturesque dining room which features a wood-burning fireplace and overlooks the expansive and verdant garden. Elevator access and a marble-clad powder room are located centrally.

Parlor Level: Enjoy grand living and open entertaining space, floor-to-ceiling glass with exposures of the garden, a full bar, and a tranquil library with custom shelving and cabinetry.

Third Level: The primary suite provides a gracious living space and welcomes bright light via four large windows overlooking the garden. Off the bedroom lies a marble bathroom with soaking tub, shower, dual vanity, and vibrant mosaic tiling with radiant heating. Adjacent is a large dressing room. The front room on this floor can be used as additional sleeping space, a luxurious wardrobe, sitting room, or office.

Fourth Level: The two bedrooms on this level both feature high ceilings, walk-in closets, and en-suite bathrooms with radiant heating, and bright exposures to the north and south.

Fifth Level: The top floor of the townhouse offers two distinct spaces, each with their own terrace. A large bedroom overlooks the garden, and an airy loft space with skylight, which can function as a home office or auxiliary sleeping area, leads to a larger terrace perched amongst the trees overlooking the large mansion across the street.

Lower Level: Fully-finished and spacious, the lower level houses the full-height gym, technology infrastructure, mechanical and storage room, laundry room, and additional powder room.
