Description

Have your very own slice of historic New York City for less than renting - nestled on one of Gramercy’s most picturesque, tree-lined blocks.

This exceptional apartment is truly a no-brainer: a charming prewar home on an idyllic, landmarked block featuring two bedrooms, landmark views, beautiful sunlight from south and west exposures, an in-unit washer/dryer, exposed brick, 9.5’ high ceilings, and low monthly maintenance - all for $925K.

Located in the Stuyvesant Square Historic District, the apartment is moments from Union Square, Irving Place, and some of Downtown Manhattan’s best shopping and dining. Fun fact: 26 of the 59 restaurants awarded a Michelin star in Manhattan in 2025 are within a mile of the apartment.

The thoughtfully laid out split two-bedroom home features seven windows, a windowed kitchen that is open to the living room, a renovated windowed bathroom, and excellent natural light throughout.

One bedroom enjoys south-facing views overlooking historic St. George’s Church—famously attended by J.P. Morgan in the 1800s (and don’t worry—no church bells!). The second bedroom can be reconfigured to comfortably fit a full sized bed and desk.

The apartment welcomes you with 120-year-old exposed brick, giving the home authentic prewar character. The windowed kitchen includes a range, microwave, refrigerator, and in-unit washer/dryer. The coop allows dishwashers. The renovated bathroom features a vanity with generous counter space and a bathtub/shower combination.


The Building

Nestled among historic townhouses on a quiet, tree-lined block in the heart of Gramercy is “Mon Bijou” (“my jewel”), an architecturally distinctive 1903 Beaux-Arts cooperative.

The building is beautifully maintained and filled with original charm, including ornate moldings, decorative ceramic tile floors, and marble staircases in the common areas.

Original marble stairs and plant-adorned windows guide you up four flights to tranquil Apartment 5C.
