Description

A Rare Gramercy Area Carriage House with Private Garage - Delivered With Approved Plans

This extraordinary property preserves the historic facade of an original Neo-Flemish carriage house dating to 1893-an architectural relic that lends enduring character to East 22nd Street.

Behind this striking frontage lies the framework for a substantial modern residence, offering a combination of scale, volume, and features that are increasingly impossible to replicate in Manhattan. Most notably, the property includes a private curb cut and enclosed garage-an exceptional amenity rarely found in downtown townhouses.

Delivered with fully approved plans, the offering allows a buyer to bypass the most time-intensive stages of development and proceed directly to execution. Unlike many townhouse opportunities, this is not an open-ended project, but a well-conceived and fully realized architectural vision - with the flexibility to make it entirely your own through tailored layouts and customized design finishes.

Configured as a five-story, 20-foot-wide residence with nearly 7,000 square feet of potential living space, the home is designed for both grand entertaining and modern living. Plans include an ALT-1 permit for a private garage with vehicle lift to a newly created cellar, approximately 95 feet of enclosed ground-floor space complemented by a greenhouse, and an enclosed dining area with a glass ceiling on the second level. A dramatic vertical layout, serviced by an elevator, is paired with expansive outdoor spaces, including multiple landscaped terraces and a rooftop deck.

The parlor level is distinguished by soaring 15-foot ceilings, while floor-to-ceiling windows create a luminous, gallery-like atmosphere throughout.

The result is a rare opportunity to create a bespoke residence - one that seamlessly integrates historic character with contemporary scale, privacy, design and flexibility.
