Overview of 163 East 71st Street

163 East 71st Street is a four story condominium townhouse on a tree lined, landmarked block in Lenox Hill, between Lexington and Third Avenues. Designed by John Sexton as one of six adjoining houses, it retains the proportions and detailing of a 19th century brownstone while functioning as a two unit, self managed residence.

The building's apartments span markedly different formats, including a full floor garden level studio and a private quadruplex occupying the upper four floors. Full floor layouts, loft like open space, central air conditioning, renovated kitchens and baths, and private outdoor areas recur across the residences, while the townhouse's original character remains visible in features such as marble fireplaces, ceiling rosettes, bowed windows, curved stairs, walnut floors, and high ceilings.

The most distinctive arrangement is the quadruplex, which organizes a private home over four successive levels rather than within a single apartment floor. Other residences use the garden level and include access to a large backyard and terrace, with cellar space that has been described as suitable for office or studio use.

163 East 71st Street is a short walk from Central Park and sits amid the Upper East Side's historic townhouse blocks, shops, and restaurants. Modern building updates include upgraded plumbing and electrical systems, central air conditioning, security features, and fire sprinklers, while private roof or terrace space appears as part of the townhouse's residential layout.
