Property Description

Remarkable 40 FT wide Neo Georgian Mansion

This elegant home was built by brothers, Elliott and John Cross (Cross & Cross) in 1930, as the Hangar's Club, an exclusive club for business men involved in the development and financing of early aviation in America

Esteemed Architect, Peter Pennoyer and architectural Historian Ann Walker, in their book, New York Transformed: The architecture of Cross & Cross describe the brothers and business partners as Masters of their craft and well connected Society men, who oversaw the construction and development of dignified structures throughout New York City, from apartment houses to country estates of Society families and industry leaders

The Brother's achievements include diverse projects such as: The Art Deco RCA Victor Building (1931) , The Landmark Tiffany Building on 57th & Fifth. (1940), not to mention the exclusive One Sutton Place South cooperative building designed in collaboration with Delano & Aldrich for the Phipps family (1927)

George S. Chappell, writing about the property for the New Yorker magazine in 1931, said in these beautiful words:

A truly Georgian Design and a very successful one is that made by Cross & Cross. This might well be in some quiet London Street, so perfectly has the atmosphere of the gentlemen's club house being in our old Manhattan. The interiors of the property have the quiet intimacy and well bred quality predicated by the exterior . The interiors provided all the comforts of a well appointed house, that is, one designed for Captains of Business

In 2025, the dazzling outlook of 36 East 63rd Street is more evident than ever on this superb tree lined block: The striking beauty of its centered three story bowed facade from its base up in Flemish bond brickwork and limestone base and trimmed center window elevates the elegant design

This glorious home consists of approximately 15,875 SF of interior space and about 2,725 of outdoor (Garden and Roof terrace)

The secure formal entrance is an immediate invitation into the clean and minimalist elegance of this home. A very large gallery graced by a WBFP and extra large closet leads to the center Hall with its spectacular 1930 staircase ascending gracefully to the the top floor to reach a superb original cupola rising above it

This Townhouse offers the exclusive use of two large elevators: A private and a service elevator. A special feature rarely found in Townhouses

The residence has a traditional floor plan for an extremely refined lifestyle, it offers countless layout possibilities and is currently set up to accommodate 10 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, an Eat in kitchen and staff quarters

The glamorous Parlor is simply divine in proportions, flow and light:

The Grand Salon runs the entire width of the house in clean and contemporary aesthetics and features five beautiful floor to ceiling
