Located on one of Carnegie Hill’s most coveted tree-lined townhouse blocks just off Park Avenue, 117 East 91st Street is a distinguished four-story brownstone that embodies the timeless elegance and architectural grandeur of New York’s Gilded Age. Spanning approximately 3,300 square feet, this exceptional residence offers four bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, gracious entertaining spaces, and a private garden oasis in the heart of the Upper East Side. Rich in original detail and historic charm, the home showcases beautifully preserved inlaid wood floors, marble mantels, magnificent pocket doors with etched glass, and intricate moldings, lending character throughout.
