Own a piece of history! This rare and never before listed house at 177 East 78 Street, is a magnificent 4 story red brick townhouse with a finished basement and an elevator servicing the entire home. Built circa 1899, this stately home is contiguous to its sister house, 175 East 78 Street. Located on a beautiful tree-lined block, 177 East 78 Street was first inhabited in 1871 by hardware merchant Augustus T Chur, at the end of the Civil War. The wealthy widow Mrs. Mary Sheehan , lived in the single house for a number of years until the real estate firm Lowenfeld & Prager purchased both 177 and 175 East 78 Street in 1902. Miraculously, the two homes have remained bonded under single-ownership ever since. It should be noted that in September of 1946, the two buildings became home to the great American author and Nobel Prize winner, John Steinbeck. Together with his wife, they lived and owned both homes until 1948. Most recently, the houses have been owned by the same family for over 55 years. 177 East 78 Street is 18’ wide and has been completely renovated from top to bottom.
