A Deal of a Lifetime Presents Itself in Manhattan

A potential deal of a lifetime has popped up on the Upper East Side: the chance to purchase three adjacent townhouses and merge them to create one 60-foot-wide, 20,000-square-foot-plus mega-mansion. Owned by three different sellers, the residences at 50, 52, and 54 East 81st Street are on the market for a combined price of $52.445 million. Listing agents Leonel Piraino, David Kornmeier, and Maren Faiella of Brown Harris Stevens are also presenting alternative options, such as keeping 50 and 52 East 81st Street as multifamily rentals adjacent to the spacious 8,375-square-foot house at 54 East 81st Street, which features walnut flooring, custom millwork, and a 2,000-square-foot garden.
