A Masterpiece of History and Elegance in the Heart of NYC

Carli Biryla

Nestled on one of Manhattan’s most esteemed blocks, The Symphony Townhouse stands as a testament to timeless elegance and architectural brilliance. Originally constructed in 1872 by John Prague, this historic gem has been masterfully reimagined, blending Victorian-era charm with the refined sophistication of a Neo-Georgian facade designed by R.D. Graham. Its exterior, meticulously restored by the same artisans behind The Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine, has earned a recommendation for national landmark status, a fitting recognition of its cultural and architectural significance.

Spanning over 8,000 square feet on a 2,008-square-foot lot, this five-bedroom, six-plus-bathroom residence is an ode to grandeur. Upon arrival, heated bluestone pavement welcomes guests into a world of opulence. The foyer, adorned with hand-painted wall coverings, sets a captivating tone, while the parlor floor enchants with Versailles wood floors, soaring 13.5-foot ceilings, and a library featuring original pine wood from 1872. Here, a bronze chandelier from the early 1800s casts a warm glow, complementing the custom faux Fragonards and Venetian chandelier in the grand living room.

Entertainment spaces abound, from the Belle Époque American Walnut bar with its Lalique French crystal ceiling to the dining room, graced by a meticulously restored 1750s Provencal hand-painted tapestry from the Metropolitan Museum. Culinary enthusiasts will adore the French Country eat-in kitchen, complete with a 300-bottle wine cellar, while the grand staircase, an architectural marvel, connects every level of the home.

Ascending to the upper floors, the third level hosts three spacious bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms and ample closets. The fourth floor is dedicated to the primary suite, a sanctuary of luxury featuring electronic skylights, a custom sound system, and direct access to the rooftop terrace. This sun-drenched outdoor retreat spans 20 feet in width, offering bluestone and marble flooring, a snow-melting system, and an enchanting fountain illuminated by lanterns—a truly magical setting.
