An historic Murray Hill two-family townhouse has recently entered the market at $3,339,000. The listing is for 126 East 35th Street, a 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath duplex home. Situated on a tree-lined street between Park and Lexington, the Campion Platt-designed residence perfectly marries 19th century charm with modern features. The townhouse was originally built in 1854 by Thomas Kilpatrick, and is nearly 24-feet wide with more than 3,000 square feet.
A common entryway on the first floor leads into the unit’s foyer and formal dining room. A large gallery space with picture windows and recessed lighting lead to the spacious living room at the front of the house. Adorned with dark hardwood flooring and an elegant fireplace (just one of four in the whole house), it is a cozy yet comfortable space, perfect for relaxing. There is also a full bath in this area of the home.

The back of the house is an open chef’s kitchen, great room, and a 375-square foot landscaped garden which is accessible through french doors in the dining and great rooms. The kitchen features a beamed ceiling, stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops. Another wood-burning fireplace functions as the focus of the great room.
On the second floor are three bedrooms, one with an ensuite full bath. There is also a walk-in closet, laundry room, and small pantry. Also on the second floor is the master suite, which features 13-foot ceilings, a bay window overlooking the garden, and a decorative wood-burning fireplace. The windowed master bath is complete with a deep-soaking spa tub, double vanity, separate glass enclosed shower, and a large dressing room.
Other features of the townhouse include custom built-in closet units, additional basement storage, and central air conditioning. In 1941 the building’s facade was altered to remove the stoop and add a mansard roof, but it still retains its historic paneled wood door.
