The house was cited at the time by the New York Times as "One of the finest townhouses on the East Side". Its facade is in the Colonial Revival style, with a stately and elegant presence on the street. It was included in the Upper East Side Historic District Extension of March 23, 2010. "One of the finest townhouses on the East Side" ON four levels, David Rockefeller’s Manhattan home, a 40 foot wide redbrick and terra-cotta mansion with an additional basement level of approximately 2,465 square feet with an entrance to the garden. The total outdoor space is approximately 2,958 square feet. The facade elevation features four windows on the first four levels. While the window configuration varies on the rear facade, both the living room and master bedroom feature east-facing windows in addition to the southern windows. The dining room overlooks the garden, as does a sitting room, with access to the rear garden. Also overlooking the garden, the living room spans the full width of the house with an additional east window and a fireplace. There are 8 bedrooms, a library, as well as 6 staff rooms. There are 8 full baths and 3 half baths, a total of 8 fireplaces and a large temperature controlled wine vault. The entry to the house is particularly appealing as the greenery of the garden is immediately visible. The staircase ascends to the fourth floor and is capped by a large skylight designed to permit light to pour into the building. There is also an elevator that serves all floors, including the basement. There is an exceptional calm and beauty to the interior. There are only a few dozen single-family townhouses on the Upper East Side that are 40 feet or more wide, according to city tax records, and several are owned by foreign governments. In 2015, Jim Clark, the billionaire founder of Netscape, paid $37 million, brokers said, for a 40-foot wide townhouse at 125 East 70th St. that was one block closer to Central Park, between Lexington and Park Avenues. And in 2009, Madonna paid a total of $32 million for three adjacent townhouses on East 81st Street between the same avenues that bracket the Rockefeller townhouse, to create a mansion that is 58 feet wide, including a garage. David Rockefeller isn’t the only notable person who lived on the block. Richard M. Nixon bought the next door townhouse in 1979, and sold it a few years later to the Syrian government.
