Originally built in 1881 as a Victorian brownstone, Henry Block purchased it in 1906. He hired architect Henry Hertz to upgrade the house to the Beaux-Arts beauty it is today, the style du jour. Measuring 22’ wide and 100’ deep, The Block House was and remains absolutely ideal for entertaining! This is a unique opportunity to own a truly remarkable property. Welcome to Manhattan’s Gilded Age! Walk up the limestone stairs passing through the foyer into the impressive front parlor with Corinthian columns adorning the walls upholding the soaring 14’ornate ceilings. You are greeted by a monumental fireplace topped with a massive mirror opposite a beautiful wrought iron staircase. The oak herring bone floors with marquetry are in remarkably good condition. French mirrored paned doors open into an intimate sitting room with 2 tall French windows facing E76th with monumental mirrors on both walls, and a marble fireplace. Leaving this room, and walking south through a wide corridor, you arrive in the rear parlor with another massive marble fireplace and mirror. A dramatic crystal chandelier is the crown jewel. Passing through the second parlor, you step into a generously sized office. An arched window measuring the entire west wall, with its own window seat brings in light. A discreet locked door in the wall paneling leads to a secret office pantry and half bath. Descending one flight from the street, with a separate entrance, the garden apartment is a spacious two bedroom, currently the servants quarters. You could take the European sized elevator to the third floor to enter a glorious living room with high ceilings, and a black marble fireplace. There are 3 tall mahogany encased French windows with limestone balustrades overlooking the treetops of East 76th Street. Turn south through a mahogany mirrored- cabinet hall with pocket doors on either end. Enter the formal dining room with a white marble fireplace, topped by yet another massive mirror. The dining room flows to an area with a west bay window, and powder room leading to the full kitchen. Create gourmet meals with the chef’s sized Wolf stove. The third floor hosts a large primary bedroom with high ceilings and ensuite bath. There are 3 tall arched French windows facing E 76th, and a corridor of tall wall compartmented closets. Two additional bedrooms on the 4th floor are in the south end of the house, one with a white fireplace, and both with tall American windows. The third floor has 2 more bathrooms, one in marble with a bidet, and the other has a jacuzzi. The Fifth floor has an additional large bedroom facing north with ensuite bath. There is an additional full bathroom in the hall. Facing south, is another dining living area with an adjacent roof terrace, a galley kitchen, and a home office. The current owner utilizes 4 bedrooms plus the 2 in the maids quarters. Technically this is an 8 bedroom and 8.5 bathroom home in 10,000 square feet with 7 fireplaces, and 3 kitchens including the servants quarters. The next owner will likely want to give this fantastic property some additional tender loving care with some contemporary updating while leaving its splendid magnificence in tact! ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Single Family Residence - **Beds**: 8 - **Total Baths**: 11 - **Rooms**: 22 - **Sqft**: 10,000 sqft - **Stories**: 5 - **Year Built**: 1881 - **Price per Sqft**: $1,850 - **Monthly Taxes**: $13,327 / mo - **Listed On**: Jul 5, 2024 - **Days on Market**: 801 Days ### Residence Features - Window Unit(s) - Fireplace(s) - See Remarks - Balcony - Building Roof Deck - Private Outdoor Space Under 60 Sqft ## Sales Evidence ### Recent closed sales 18 East 76th Street has one recorded sale since September 2021, the most recent for $3,100,000 in June 2023. Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | C (Apartment) | 2 | 1,445 | $3,100,000 | $2,145/ft² | June 16, 2023 | City record · MLS | Every row is a recorded transaction, including ancillary spaces such as storage and staff rooms where they were sold separately. Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable house sales in Upper East Side is $10,750,000, based on 29 sales between September 2021 and July 2026. This home is asking $18,500,000, $7,750,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $6,550,000 and $16,000,000. - **Median closed price**: $10,750,000 - **Middle half**: $6,550,000 – $16,000,000 - **Based on**: 29 house sales in Upper East Side - **Period**: September 2021 – July 2026 - **Median $/ft²**: $1,879/ft² Across the 24 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 89% of what it originally asked. 88% of them closed below the original ask. A house is not part of a building of comparable apartments, so this benchmark is drawn from house sales across Upper East Side. Apartment sales are excluded from it entirely. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 89% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 88% of 24 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 164 days (about 23 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 62 days (about 9 weeks) Across the 24 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 89% of what it originally asked. 88% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 164 days (about 23 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 28 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 62 days (about 9 weeks), based on the 28 with both dates recorded. These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. Based on 29 house sales in Upper East Side, September 2021 – July 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one. Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls. Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 1013900061. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
