211 East 62nd. A Landmark Residence Touched by History. Situated in the exclusive Treadwell Farm Historic District in Lenox Hill, this exceptional 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom townhome offers a modern luxury lifestyle set against the grandeur and promise of ages gone by. Its storybook past includes being the former residence of Eleanor Roosevelt and playing host to foreign dignitaries, political functions, celebrity trunk shows, and non-profit events. Built in 1873 and recently renovated by Maria Masi, this 19-foot-wide townhome rises five stories with a gorgeous redbrick faade. An elevator serves every floor, and a trio of private outdoor spaces include a classical courtyard garden, a terrace, and a rooftop deck with a dog run and skyline views. On the FIRST floor, a resplendent verde marble foyer with a brass entry gate and chandelier flows into an inviting reception hall with a powder room and custom printed wall panels depicting a 17th century Italian landscape. Just beyond that is a regal living room with verde marble floors and fireplace, mahogany wood paneling, contemporary coffered ceilings, and original stained glass French doors leading out to the garden. A fully-equipped service kitchen with its own entrance completes the first floor. A curved mahogany staircase leads up a SECOND floor with a formal den and dining room and a huge eat-in kitchen. Crema marble floors and period details run throughout. The dining room has a carved marble fireplace and an attached terrace overlooking the garden. The kitchen is adorned with stained glass windows, brass hardware, bespoke cabinetry, a large eat-in island, and high-end appliances from Trauslen, Miele, Gaggenau, and La Cornue. A convenient powder room sits just off the staircase. The THIRD floor contains the first of two primary suites. The bedroom chamber has custom cherry cabinets and wall paneling and a wall of built-in closets and shelves. The bathroom has a carved marble fireplace, a windowed marble double vanity, a water closet, a Steamist walk-in steam shower, brass towel warmers, and a vintage clawfoot cast iron jetted soaking tub. An added bonus is a cherry wood and marble wet bar. A private set of stairs leads up to a FOURTH floor with a second primary suite with original parquet oak floors. The bedroom chamber has another carved marble fireplace, exquisite moldings and wall paneling, and dual wardrobe closets. The spacious sitting room has a marble wet bar, and the bright bathroom has a double vanity, a water closet, a Steamist walk-in steam shower, and a windowed Whirlpool soaking tub. The FIFTH floor has two additional bedrooms with wood-burning fireplaces, original parquet floors, and private en-suites. The CELLAR contains a laundry room, a marble bathroom, and a windowed gym. 211 East 62nd Street is moments from Central Park, Pulitzer Fountain, Central Park Zoo, Wollman Rink, and numerous fine dining and luxury shopping options.

TImeless and full of character. This is the kind of place I like to see.

[@ljtinney]

Absolutely beautiful and rich in character. I love it.

Wow! The courtyard alone is breath taking!

The "Eleanor Home" is so beautiful, but the history is priceless. Thank you so much for sharing. 🌿♥️♥️♥️🌿

Ok I’m getting this for the heritage and exquisite craftmanship ❤

Please don’t sell that to anyone that will modernize it… simply gorgeous

YOU have poor taste.

Never mind it's already done.

[@Philippe.C.A-R]

See how serene! Now see Ivana Trump’s same size house which would have made a 19th century French bordello looked classy in comparison ! There are 2 things money can’t buy: class and taste !

[@emc14000]

$12 million seems very reasonable for this historic property.

[@PLH483]

Wonderful house. Greetings from London. I hope whoever buys it doesn’t rip out the interiors. Hopefully it’s protected.

[@gregpendrey6711]

None of this is original. Eleanor had an apartment there. Girl was a tomboy. No fuss. Promoted her causes. Hubby was a crossdresser.

[@t.gilligan9661]

Beats those boxy white cube "moderns" any Serhant video day!

[@aoh4905]

Finally a beautiful home interior!!! Holy shit!!!

[@paulgavian90]

Right.... Like of all the Batman, all glass, concrete build houses. This is a relief of the paint pastel difference of colors merging together yet portional.

[@chrisjackowski591]

I absolutely loved Ryan Serhant's presentation! It was regal and informative without being gaudy-a perfect blend of facts, aesthetics, and stunning visuals. If I had an expensive home, I wouldn't hesitate for a second to call Ryan and let him work his magic. He truly knows how to showcase a property!

[@dw309]

I think we watched two different recordings.

No one wants it. People are getting the HELL out of CRIME ridden New York

[@serenasomerset]

I can tell you from personal experience nyc is suffering because it’s gone to shit and less and less people want to invest in the lib shit show especially since the migrant invasion. So many agents and agencies are closing

[@trentrowe7376]

I have enjoyed your presentations of very high end real estate. This is the first time I not only enjoyed the tour of The Eleanor, I was entranced with how thrilled you were to show it off. The elegance and comfort through every well thought detail with the touch of whimsical joy thrilled you and did the same for me. Well done. Not that you need anyone’s validation. Thank you.

[@gregpendrey6711]

Get a room.

[@JamesBrown-ij1px]

Magnificent. This Townhouse MUST be made an Historic Landmark Home to PROTECT the integrity of the interiors! I fear that someone will come in and strip these gorgeous interiors! Landmark Status would protect the integrity of this historic home.

[@monkeygraborange]

If you think that those interiors are original, you’re wildly mistaken.

[@JB-3794]

​Wildly? You're a little dramatic.

[@caressas]

How you articulate, how you move, the little nuances you do. Gets you interested, even when you might not have been in the property. You are so very good at this "job" you chose. No wonder you are successful. :)

[@gregpendrey6711]

Ooh lala.

[@benjaminniemczyk]

Looks very nice. It has been heavily modified but done in a way that doesn't distract. VERY difficult to pull off to the trained, historically-informed eye. Bravi. Really a pleasure to see.

[@Ebb5845]

I love Eleanor Roosevelt! What a wonderful woman!🤟🏼🩷

[@lindafassett582]

I love your obvious passion for this home. Thank you for showing your taste for excellence.

[@robertladue7647]

What an absolute treat. Thank you.

[@albertsmyth9616]

Lovely house, but I do find the paused, breathless, sanctification of her rather over-the-top. Eleanor Roosevelt would have been the first to decry it as she was a very no-nonsense, forthright lady who had no time for such silliness.

[@gregpendrey6711]

Perfectly said. Or at least well done. Spot on, no, that's just gross. Clean it up.

Stunning home! Classic & timeless style.

[@mzmiller52]

Who did the interior design. Can’t imagine this is Eleanor’s design.

[@lindacifelli3878]

This man would have difficulty speaking if he had to eliminate the words "incredible" and "amazing" from his vocabulary. It would be interesting to see what the house looked like when Eleanor Roosevelt lived there in the 1950's and it was divided into apartments. It wasn't anything like the way it is now after very extensive remodeling.

[@hotoneinspai]

This has to be The Perfect place to have a home in the New York City... A little quirky but 100% bespoke. Can I also say...Ryan... Your Presentation alone makes me want to Own this Property... Best House Presentation... Really; You should be teaching the others......How Too!! ... BTW I'm British and your style...is much needed here.

It has a historic house/museum quality that many would find not conducive to daily living, I think. Perhaps a foreign investor would appreciate this space.

[@barbararoberts1418]

I hate it when Ryan pretends that my house is for sale.

[@JSListerud]

This wasn't a home Eleanor actually owned, it was actually a Rental and was like the modern styled quad plex town homes. It was renovated to be one, but it wasn't.

[@landrover153]

At 3:487 do you say that "the room leads into the remainer of the parlor"?

[@gregpendrey6711]

Let's get out the scrabble dictionary.

[@ChristySandhoff]

[@gregpendrey6711]

Once too many. Get a new broker.

[@erikaleonard2848]

This shouldn't be sold accept to a museum so its guaranteed to stay as it currently is and the public can visit and give donations to keep it maintained 😊

Beautiful home! As far as "who owned it or spent time there" Who cares.

[@mabdub]

The presentation was incredibly unprofessional, actually it was tasteless. There was such great potential for an informative learning experience but sadly the cheerleading style took precedence and derailed what could have been a wonderful once in a lifetime experience for viewers. A proper redo would be much appreciated.

[@GatewayGarden267]

How do they get the furniture up to the upper floors with those super narrow staircases??

[@throughmyeyes9940]

carefully, v e r y carefully

If you need to know it's not for you. There are people. Call the people darling.
