1 East 62 Street   Unit 1A

Become part of history at 1 East 62nd Street. Located in a 42 foot wide limestone mansion, this magnificent home was designed by Horace Trumbauer, America's greatest classical revivalist architect. It was originally built in 1903 for John R. Drexel (a grandson of the founder of Philadelphia banking house Drexel & Co.) and his socialite wife Alice Troth Drexel. From the time it was completed, 1 East 62nd has enjoyed a rich and varied history. It was converted into apartments in the 1930s after it had been bequeathed to Columbia University. Ernest Hemingway was one of its residents and wrote The Snows of Kilamanjaro during his many years in the mansion. The living room of this exquisite duplex, formerly the mansion's library, boasts 14 foot high ceilings, grand picturesque windows, and a gas fireplace. Located just steps from Fifth Avenue, this gracious 1 BR 1.5 bath home is for those who treasure individuality and European-style, along with all of the modern amenities of a full service condominium building.
