Welcome to 245 East 52nd Street, a distinguished six-story, 5,940 square foot two-family townhouse located in the vibrant heart of Midtown East, nestled on a tranquil block between 2nd and 3rd Avenue. This prime location offers convenient walking access to Grand Central Terminal, The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), and the United Nations Headquarters.

Each elegant triplex unit boasts 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, private outdoor spaces, and the convenience of elevator access to each floor.
