There are things I ...Thank you all for commenting. There are things I like about all, of course. I have never been inside any of them. But I think I would be drawn to the Halston house, 101 East 63rd Street. Residential spaces of such volume are unusual in NYC and could really be chic with a few well-chosen, large scale, antique furnishings. The roof deck and garage are also great amenities.John J.

I've walked by so many of these townhouses always wondering what was behind those walls.
