Property details
About 8 E 62nd St
Originally built in 1903 by John H. Duncan—the legendary architect of Grant’s Tomb—this Beaux-Arts masterpiece has undergone a series of exceptional renovations. In the early 2010s, the renowned New York townhouse contractor Xhema led a full-scale refurbishment. More recently, another leader in ultra-prime New York construction, Highline Construction, executed significant renovations and upgrades, ensuring the property remains at the forefront of luxury and innovation. The most recent phase, completed in October 2023 and further enhanced in the summer of 2024, was a meticulous undertaking designed to restore and elevate the property’s elegance, functionality, and security. From revitalized finishes to state-of-the-art technology integration, every detail has been crafted to maintain the highest standards of New York’s elite architectural landscape. Behind its stately limestone façade, this extraordinary residence welcomes you with a grand gallery featuring original malachite mosaic flooring, a marble-mantled fireplace, and a sweeping marble staircase.
