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 façade. 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.

really makes your realize how soulless most modern design is! gorgeous home, Ryan! whoever buys this will be so lucky!
Soulless indeed.
Exactly
This is what "old money" looks like. Stunning!
That’s what I thought, too - and I’m so happy to see it preserved rather than overhauled in favor of the modern aesthetic.
This was the most influential historical home Ryan has ever toured I truly enjoyed this 🤎
I love the historical and elegant homes...it takes a very talented architect to do modern successfully...but this gorgeous home is pure class. Almost simple in appearance until you look at the details and craftsmanship. Is this really only 12 million?...I was expecting a heck of a lot more for this home in this location in the most vibrant city in North America.
12 Million
Over priced?
A staircase that takes you upstairs! How novel.
Ryan’s “over the top fake emotions” makes one look harder for the flaws.
I'll take this any day over the bare and cold homes that are built today.
Tastefully appointed..... timeless elegance !
My jaw was on the ground from the thumbnail alone. Gorgeous home.
THIS....THIS is truly a remarkable property in every way!
I'm currently on my third rewatch of this home. Can't. Stop. Watching. Such a spectacular little jewel box.
What a treat to tour this beautiful home.
A House with lots of Soul,History and American Bygones Years Legacy😊
Timeless beauty
Now THIS is how you live on the Upper East Side! Who was the decorator, btw? What a genius! Remarkable tour, Ryan, thanks for showing this one!
WHAT? With the Rest of the Liberal Elitist Libtards? lmao.
What I love even more than this gorgeous home is Ryan’s enthusiasm! You can tell he loves his job and is genuinely hyped about the history and architecture of this home. Bravo!
The symmetry is amazing
Classy, beautiful home. They should have honoured and mirrored that with the choice of backroundmusic.
I am sad the this historical masterpiece is being sold. It should be a museum.
Better that it's being lived in. If it were a museum it would not be maintained as well
Thank you for sharing this beautiful historical home!!!
Totally stunning..❤️
*Amazing place* 👍
I caught brief sight of the beautiful brass door hinges - the kind with top & bottom finials and embossed plates - and just sighed. I know hidden hinges are all the rage now, but these turn of the century adornments really speak luxury to me....💎
Truly Exceptional!
Authenticity and personality. Rare find.
OMG! I found my dream home with the silver dream guy.
I love that molding and pattern is coming back in style
Omg I’m obsessed with that Palladian entry hall 😍
Thank you, so much for showing Elenor Roosevelt townhouse..God blessings ! Amen .The home is a piece of history.She was awesome writer...my Mom read her writing in the newspaper. She describe her writing smooth and full of life lesson. My Mom 88yrs old..
The french doors are just amazing ! Stunning ! I wouuld take them for my french house....
What I did see of it is pretty nice. I love the size of the kitchen. And
I love those pale colored glass leaded windows, it seems they give
a full spectrum of color and the texture of the glass gives privacy.
The outside space is beautiful too.
Jeff❤
The LaCornue $55,000 range with the French top is one of the most perfect ranges ever made, The whole townhouse is perfection, true class.
Beautiful opulent house excellently presented.
Absolutely beautiful. Also we'll thought out and functional without loosing timeless sophistication. I also love your sincere enthusiasm. Lovely❤
That's the coolest thing I have ever seen!
Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful 👏👏👏❤😍😍😍
Ryan, I absolutely loved this home, thanks for showing it.
Wow fantastic house
That house is an artifact from another era., the mahogany, the stained glass, that shower bath in front of the fireplace. When you throw in that kitchen, this is the house that Lauren Ambrose as Dorothy buys after surviving the Servant. It's the sort of environment in which you would have grown up if your last name were Bush, Mellon or Roosevelt. It's literally the remains of old money, WASP aristocracy gone with the wind.
I love your presentation Ryan💙
Remarkable home💫
Ryan looks better with all the grays.. 💪 😎
I love all the wood , marble and brass !!!! Lovely home with so much class and soul 🧡🧡🧡
You just started this video with the best comment : everybody is doing the all white everything (it is jus a trend if you ask me) and it will get dated. A house like your showing will never be dated, it is a piece of art, the quality is showing everywhere as well as the perfect taste ! Thank you so much, Ryan, for this video. - Rosalind -
I second your sentiments! know to some this townhouse seems dark and stuffy, but oh how I miss dark, polished floors, coffered ceilings, wide millwork, elaborate windows and ornate fixtures! It’s those details that make me pause and reflect on the skill and pride of those craftsmen who carved the wood, created the windows and modeled the plasterwork....
Old New York was built not just to impress, but to create design elements worthy of surviving that era ...things that others would be proud to inherit and want to retain - and be motivated to maintain. When today’s age has passed, what of merit will we have to show for it? That’s what I often wonder.
@@jenniferlynn3537 So well said ma chère, so well said.
RODALIND YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL ADORABLE SEDUCTIVE RAVISHING SENSUAL SEXY CAPTIVATING AND PASSIONATE MARRY ME 💗
Such a treat to see this home.
This home and video have special meaning for me. (About five years ago, I learned that Eleanor Roosevelt was a distant cousin on my mother's side.) Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Now that's a classic ❤
Birds being Happy ❤
Just GORGEOUS💫⚡️🏆
The architecture is stunning, the floors and windows beautiful. If I dare have a criticism it would for me lacks warm textures and plush cosiness and a little bit dark.
This is the type of property we all enjoy the most.
Reject modernity. Embrace tradition.
GORGEOUS!!! ❤❤
Wow! What a gorgeous home!❤
Magnificent.....Timeless.
Absolutely beautiful!
I wonder if 100s of years from now these RUclips videos will still be available online for other generations to watch.
Stunning home.
Stunning. I did not realize how poor I was until I watch this.
Amazing design. Great tour
Beautiful home. ❤
This is a GEM
Wow! It should be a museum 😍
Beautiful ❤
Amazing❤
That was awesome.
Gorgeous house!❤
what a beautiful home what exquisite taste. Sure beats those disgusting open floor plan homes.
Thank you so much to share. Love Eleonor. She was,no,is still the best of. I just shared to my fb story too.
The bath/shower dates back to the 1920s. Very few homes could afford to have such a luxurious item. The garden is probably the same size as the average house gaeden in London. The whole house is very elegant but you forgot to state the asking price
Almost $12 million
Gorgeous. 🥰.
beautiful
The entry of this house with all that black marble floors gives me a kind of morgue or funeral home vibes.
A beautiful house.
One design flaw: The mural wallpaper should have continued up the stairs.
That delineates the floors
This is a dream ❤
Your hyperbolic language gets old really fast. I get it; I'd be that excited to be in this house too. But we see it's spectacular. Just give us details that aren't visibly obvious. Thanks.
All of his narrations are like this. Gets old fast indeed. I often just turn the volume down.
@@rjd3wine Or find the listing & just enjoy the pictures at your own pace.
I've often done that as well. And the listing usually includes the floor plan which really completes the picture.
Oh my gosh, I love this! Having now watched the entire video, I wouldn't change a thing. This one is perfection!
Where does one find a "purveyor of parquet" floors?
Love It Love It Love It
LOVE❤
This would make THE most OPPULANT Lesbian Bar/Complex in the entire U.S.
Amaxing
Absolutely stunning. So many of these properties have been ruined by some soulless modern redesign, this house is just a jawdropper. The floors, the garden, the ping-pong...wait, get rid of the ping pong table.
Yeah, you're right. Cornhole would be better. lol
You just have to state that there was style in the old days, really my new dream house
Wow
Thank yu
seems really comfy
realy nice
I was convinced that today even the rich are getting cheated with their money. One look at this gorgeous house only shows that to be true. Absolutely stunning. For once, a house didn't need your charm to sell it as it could sell itself with its own charm.
Great historical property maybe some museum will buy it or maybe have as an Airbnb. Anyone buying as a permanent residence would want a complete Reno and redesign.
Ryan... One thing you forgot to mention throughout the entire presentation... The multi coloured opaque panels in each of the windows and doors... Yeah... It's Mahogany, but it's all about the right lighting...
I’d love to know what was there during Eleanor Roosevelt’s time and what’s been changed since. Not all of the elements, like the kitchen, appear to be original. A lot to like about this place, and I would want to be true to its history, but I would also refresh some of the spaces while respecting the history. There is a lot of brown going on. Perhaps cut back on some of the brown furniture so that the pieces and woodwork don’t blend into each other. Becomes a bit dreary at times.
My husband's family is related to the Roosevelt family and although I personally am not a fan of Eleanor Roosevelt, I do love the Eleanor House. Having just toured a San Francisco townhome (totally tastelessly decorated) and now comparing this home, there's just no comparison. This home is incredibly tastefully decorated. Perhaps it's the East Coast background I have, but this decor is just awesome and incomparable!
Love,Love Mrs. Roosevelt…soooo “Progressive Thought and Inclusive!”🌞👍🏿👏🏾👊🏿
Amazing home. Truly divine. I just do not understand the fascination some people with big cities because the moment I stepped out on that terrace I would be depressed with the landscape. Gilded birdcage, indeed. I get it. To each their own on what environment makes you tick though. This is definitely someone's dream and I do not blame them. However, FDR had it right with his cottage nestled in the woods of Warm Springs Ga.
Nice museum 😃
Exceptional. I Hope whoever buys it keeps it as is. Remodeling would ruin it!!!
"Palatial by definition" hahahaha
It's an antique. Great sales job by Serhant. But fact Elenor Roosevelt lived there seems beside the point of buying a house, but I guess name identity sells. Remember George Costanza buying John Voight's car in Seinfeld, except the actor spells his name "Jon". If you want to live in another time, this is a place. Also, I love how Serhant says "I have to show you MY bathroom here." So it's Serhant's bathroom? Great.
I noticed this too….whoops
Ryan, you are exhausted man, I picked that up! Gets some rest and refresh man! Let some of those paid employees start pulling their weight man! Peace!
There are so many shitty realtors out there and especially on youtube. This guy's good.
I'll take it! When can I move in? And I'm keeping the Kermit picture above the bed.
No shots of the bed in the main bedroom. Or closet | Great vid as usual though
Omgggg! What???
I promise you he talked himself into buying that house!
❤
No walk in closet in the primary bedroom?
