Located within the storied Dunham House, this remarkable duplex seamlessly blends historic elegance with bold contemporary design. Upon entry, the home immediately reveals its striking architectural character through an impressive great room with 13-foot ceilings, extraordinary volume, and incredible south-facing light that pours in throughout the day. Currently designed as an entertaining space, this level offers the flexibility to easily function as a spacious second bedroom, guest suite, studio, or office depending on lifestyle needs. A beautifully restored wood-burning fireplace adorned in alabaster stone serves as the centerpiece of the room, while the home's original detailing has been meticulously restored. Floating above, a mezzanine-level balcony adds sculptural dimension while creating the perfect setting for a library, workspace, or gallery. Statement lighting throughout-including collectible pieces from Flos and Foscarini by globally celebrated designers such as Marcel Wanders, Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Patricia Urquiola, Luca Nichetto, and Ludovica + Roberto Palomba-elevates the home into a true design experience. On the lower level, the dramatic double height living room with nearly 20-foot ceilings serves as the home's intimate centerpiece. Anchored by a second wood-burning fireplace, this layered space offers a more traditional sense of comfort while maintaining the home's architectural sophistication. Just off this level, adjacent to the kitchen and living area, a separate office provides an ideal work-from-home setup-perfectly suited as a private Zoom room, creative workspace, or quiet study. The kitchen is sleek and highly functional, outfitted with a thoughtfully integrated suite of premium Bertazzoni appliances, including a five-element convection cooktop, electric oven, speed oven, dishwasher, and hood, paired with Blanco fixtures for clean-lined European precision. Both bathrooms continue the home's elevated design language with globally respected fixtures and finishes. The top-floor bath features Patricia Urquiola's celebrated AXOR Urquiola collection, blending sculptural softness with spa-like sophistication, while the lower bath incorporates Hansgrohe fittings with Duravit Happy D.2 vanities by Sieger Design-creating spaces that feel refined, timeless, and intentional. The private primary bedroom offers warmth, privacy, and thoughtful detailing, complete with a spacious walk-in closet that adds both functionality and scale. A Bosch stacked washer and dryer are conveniently located in the lower-level hallway, seamlessly integrated for everyday ease. What makes this residence especially rare is that it exists within one of Manhattan's great surviving private mansions. The building was originally commissioned in 1899 by Dr. Edward Kellogg Dunham and designed by Carrère and Hastings at the height of the Beaux-Arts era. The facade is distinguished by ornate carved garlands, a rusticated stone base, a stately mansard roof, and sophisticated Parisian influence. Widely admired for its exuberant yet masterful design, the residence stands as an early example of the architectural brilliance that would later define Carrère and Hastings' iconic works, including the New York Public Library and The Frick Collection. Over the decades, the mansion evolved from elite private residence to cooperative while retaining its extraordinary pedigree, ultimately securing its place within the Upper East Side Historic District. Set just moments from Central Park and Madison Avenue, Residence 1A offers the rare opportunity to own not only a beautifully designed home, but a meaningful piece of New York City history. Pets and pied-a-terre allowed. No flip tax. 75% financing is permitted. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Duplex - **Beds**: 2 - **Baths**: 2 - **Rooms**: 4 - **Sqft**: 1,277 sqft - **Stories**: 5 - **Year Built**: 1910 - **Price per Sqft**: $1,762 - **Common Charges**: $3,771 / Monthly - **Listed On**: Apr 30, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 140 Days ### Residence Features - Washer Hookup - In Unit - Private Outdoor Space Over 60 Sqft ## Estimated Monthly Payment **$15,148 / month**, assuming a 20% down payment ($450,000), a 6.5% interest rate and a 30-year term.

Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1B (Apartment) | 3 | 1,700 | $1,995,000 | $1,174/ft² | January 20, 2022 | 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 - **This home**: $2,250,000 - **Median sold price**: $1,395,000 - **Difference**: +$855,000 (+61.3%) - **This home, $/ft²**: $1,762 - **Comparable sales**: 321 - **Sales from**: September 2024 – July 2026 - **Middle half of those sales**: $1,040,000 – $1,800,000 Based on co-op two-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill. Square footage is recorded for only 98 of these 321 sales (31%), so no price per square foot is shown for this group. Co-op sales rarely carry a floor area, and a figure drawn from a handful of them would not describe the rest. This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Lenox Hill instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sale-to-list price**: 96.1% (302 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 66% (302 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 81 days (301 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 92 days (305 sales) Based on co-op two-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill with the required listing and closing data. Sample sizes vary by metric. 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. ### Price trend Median sale price, co-op two-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2016 | $1,400,000 | 33 | | 2017 | $1,440,000 | 135 | | 2018 | $1,427,500 | 126 | | 2019 | $1,400,000 | 105 | | 2020 | $1,302,500 | 76 | | 2021 | $1,300,000 | 245 | | 2022 | $1,350,000 | 207 | | 2023 | $1,390,000 | 151 | | 2024 | $1,350,000 | 163 | | 2025 | $1,400,000 | 180 | | 2026 YTD | $1,462,500 | 84 | Based on recorded co-op two-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill. 2026 is year-to-date. Sales data through July 2026. 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.
