About this property
This imposing, renovated, limestone facade townhouse constructed in 1910 is perched on a beautiful row moments from Stuyvesant Square Park with a 106 ft deep garden, and is set back from the street with a gracious entry stoop.
The sunny, south-facing, five-story, limestone, single-family residence is located in the historic and highly coveted Gramercy Park neighborhood. The townhouse that retains much of its original detailing is 19 feet wide, approximately 6,700sf in size, with an additional four outdoor spaces that total approximately 1,150sf, including a tranquil north-facing garden, shaded by mature vegetation.
This home has been updated with all the conveniences of today’s lifestyle and includes central air and heat, yet still retains its alluring original pre-war charm. The dramatic parlor floor with its 12ft-plus ceiling heights includes a gracious wide entry hall that opens to a reception/library as well as a spacious living room with an original marble mantle fireplace and a home office. French doors lead to a private balcony. The oversized windows throughout the house create a light-filled atmosphere and every floor benefits from elegant and generously scaled rooms with strong ceiling heights, unlike so many other homes where heights drop off as you go up.
The primary bedroom suite is located on the third floor and offers a serene sanctuary with its en-suite light-filled marble bathroom overlooking the gardens. The five additional bedrooms are located on the third, fourth, and fifth floors. The fourth floor has a private terrace and the fifth floor has a large dramatic skylight that beams light through the stairwell below. There are a total of 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 2 powder rooms, laundry on the garden floor as well as a large laundry room with a washer/dryer on the fifth floor. An abundance of storage space and closets throughout the house makes it practical as well as pretty.
The garden level has a separate entrance and includes a family room, a large open dining area, and a chef’s eat-in kitchen featuring top-of-the-line appliances. A double set of French doors leads out to the private patio/garden that allows for gracious al fresco entertaining and living. The cellar level has a media room, recreation/gym, storage, and a mechanical room. This townhouse is located in a vibrant neighborhood filled with numerous restaurants, cafes, transportation, and shopping options, moments from Trader Joe’s and Union Square with its outstanding Farmer’s Market. A few streets south, the East Village beckons with its vast array of lifestyle offerings.
