UES fixer-upper on the market for $35M
A mostly gutted, two-building structure at 133-137 East 73rd Street, at Lexington Avenue, is now on the market for $35 million and has the potential to be one of the city’s most luxurious private mansions, the New York Post reported. The 27,500-square-foot property has been used as medical offices and ground-floor retail space for the past 30 years, but it was once residential, and owner BLDG Management has permission to transform the five-story elevator building into a private residence. BLDG could also build a 2,500-square-foot duplex addition above it. The property, which has an alternate entrance at 1024 Lexington Avenue, first hit the market last year for $40 million before the latest price reduction. Ivan Hakimian of Itzhaki Properties has the listing.

The price had been slashed to $30 million in December. The 15,218-square-foot mixed-use townhouse is being marketed by Danielle Grossenbacher of Brown Harris Stevens.
