Opført i 1880 af den anerkendte arkitekt F. S. Barus er 38 East 63rd Street et byhus i nygeorgiansk stil, der er 5,5 meter bredt og har cirka 7.155 kvadratfod over terræn. Ejendommen rummer fleksible, åbne kontorlokaler samt yderligere 1.545 kvadratfod på nederste etage til opbevaring og tekniske installationer. Ejendommen ligger ideelt mellem Park og Madison Avenue på en stille, træbeklædt gade med historiske boliger.

Bygningens facade blev i 1904 redesignet af arkitekten William Strom i en elegant nygeorgiansk stil for bankieren John Greenough og hans familie. Den karakteristiske facade har en yndefuldt buet front over de tre første etager, forankret af en sokkel i kalksten med fint detaljerede vinduesindfatninger og gesimser samt en klassisk balkon, der fremhæver bygningens raffinerede arkitektoniske udtryk.

Kompositionen afspejler diskret den fremragende nygeorgianske facade, som Cross & Cross tegnede til det storslåede, 12 meter brede palæ på 36 East 63rd Street ved siden af, opført i 1930. Dette skaber en harmonisk arkitektonisk dialog mellem de to naboejendomme og understreger den historiske elegance på denne enestående gade.

I 2026 repræsenterer dette arkitektonisk betydningsfulde byhus en sjælden mulighed for at omdanne ejendommen til en enestående enfamiliebolig eller drage fordel af ejendommens zonering til fællesfaciliteter, som tillader en bred vifte af anvendelser i New York City.

Ejendommen ligger i et af Manhattans mest eksklusive kvarterer, midt i New York Citys luksusindkøbskorridor, få øjeblikke fra Central Park og Fifth Avenue samt nogle af byens mest berømte shopping- og restaurantdestinationer.

It features flexible open office spaces, plus an additional 1,545 square feet on the lower level for storage and mechanical systems. The property is ideally located between Park and Madison Avenues on a quiet, tree-lined block with historic homes.

The building's facade was redesigned in 1904 by architect William Strom in an elegant Neo-Georgian style for banker John Greenough and his family. The distinctive facade features a gracefully bowed front across the first three levels, anchored by a limestone base with finely detailed window surrounds and trim, along with a classic balcony that enhances its refined architectural presence.

The composition subtly echoes the superb Cross &Cross Neo-Georgian facade of the grand 40-foot-wide mansion at 36 East 63rd Street next door, built in 1930, creating a harmonious architectural dialogue between the two neighboring residences and reinforcing the historic elegance of this exceptional block.

In 2026, this architecturally significant townhouse presents a rare opportunity to convert into an exceptional single-family residence or to take advantage of its Community Facility zoning, which allows for a wide range of permitted uses within New York City.

- Non-profit art galleries
- Community centers and philanthropic foundations
- Daycare centers and nonprofit social service organizations

Positioned in one of Manhattan's most prestigious neighborhoods, the property sits at the epicenter of New York City's luxury retail corridor, moments from Central Park and Fifth Avenue, as well as some of the city's most celebrated shopping and dining destinations.

The townhouse spans five full floors, all serviced by an expansive wood-paneled commercial elevator. Additional highlights include:

- 12-foot ceilings on the parlor level
- Large windows overlooking one of the Upper East Side's most attractive historic townhouse blocks
- Multiple outdoor spaces, including a small garden, terrace, and solarium
