About This Property
A pioneer of the "International Style," the Swiss-born American
architect William Edmond Lescaze, a confirmed modernist, set out to
reinvent Manhattan townhouses with clean lines and sincerity in
approach. According to The New Yorker, Lescaze, "a fierce
perfectionist" had "taken the lead in Modernist architecture in
this country." In fact, Lescaze designed 211 East 48th to be his
first New York City townhouse, as well as his personal home and
studio. It also became New York City's first modern residence in
1936 and the first residence to have central air conditioning.
Paying close attention to the balance of solid space and voids, the
home was one of the first American structures to incorporate glass
bricks into its construction. Lescaze was eager to create vast
amounts of natural light in the home, while remaining fuel
efficient and preserving a sense of privacy.Current ownership
recognized the historical importance of this Landmarked townhouse
during its entire restoration and repair. Updates include: a
glass-enclosed hydraulic elevator, a Boffi kitchen, central air
conditioning, new structural steel inside and out, and a large
north-facing courtyard with solid glass block skylights.Set on a
block of 26 townhouses, 211 East 48th Street represents a rare
opportunity to own a piece of history on a prime Turtle Bay
residential block in close proximity to some of Manhattan's finest
shopping, restaurants, Midtown offices and public transit. It will
be delivered vacant.
