Theater Icon's Former UES Home Hits Rental Market

UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — An Upper East Side townhouse that was once home to a theater icon has hit the rental market for the first time.

The four-story home at 230 E. 62nd Street, located between Second and Third avenues, is asking a pricey $22,000 per month, according to a real estate listing on realtor.com. The regency-style residence was once home to Broadway icon Tallulah Bankhead and also served as The New York School for Piano in the early 20th century, according to the listing.

"This home exudes the soul, character and charm of its rich and illustrious history," reads a real estate listing.

The home features four bedrooms, five bathrooms and luxury offerings such as a marble-clad entry foyer, a recently-renovated kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances and a grand room with a functional wood-burning fireplace. The home also comes with a Van Cliburn-signed Steinway & Sons piano, according to real estate listings.

The townhouse "exudes Regency flair" with its original architectural details, but has also been upgraded with modern amenities like central air conditioning and new hardwood floors. The home also features a 1,000-square-foot garden.
