Versailles in Manhattan…Originally built in 1872 by John G. Prague, this 5-level Neo-Georgian townhouse is constructed in raked limestone and timeless red clay brick. The palatial 20 ft. wide townhouse welcomes visitors through a secure electronic gated front entry. Once behind the front door, a grandly scaled foyer welcomes visitors into the interior of the home. The sprawling parlor floor begins in the mirrored gallery as you enter this lavish level. The expansive 90 ft. deep parlor floor encompasses an English pine paneled library and beautifully proportioned living room which flows into a two-storied glass atrium. The formal dining room elegantly finishes this grand entertaining and living space. The house boasts museum quality materials and details. East 64th Street between Lexington and Third Avenues is lined with townhouses bordered by trees and historic bishop’s crook lampposts. Though not designated by Landmarks Preservation, the block is graced with period homes boasting bay windows, decorative pediments and Juliet balconies.
