Description

178 East 75th Street is an iconic home of distinction thoughtfully renovated and curated by renowned international artist, Ilana Goor and her husband.

A rare blend of character and modern luxury, a carriage house on this grand a scale is uncommon in a city where many landmark carriage homes stand out for their instantly recognizable facades rather than their size.
