Overview of 45 East 78th Street

45 East 78th Street is a landmarked townhouse on the Upper East Side dating to 1920, with 14 rental apartments. For decades, the address housed Mnuchin Gallery, and the property retains the formal scale and domestic character associated with its early twentieth century architecture.

The structure is organized around grand public rooms and distinctive circulation details, including a parlor floor with a circular staircase, two formal rooms with fireplaces, and tall ceilings. A garden level looks onto a north facing courtyard, while the uppermost level is paired with a 1,335 square foot private rooftop terrace and a guest suite.

Set on East 78th Street between Madison and Park Avenues, the building is close to Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the restaurants and boutiques of the Upper East Side. Its combination of landmarked townhouse architecture, former gallery use, and unusual outdoor space gives the address a character uncommon among conventional rental buildings.
