Description

Perfect proportions and tranquil spaces abound in this 6,000+ square foot, 23-foot wide townhouse located at the epicenter of downtown’s famed Gramercy Park neighborhood. The handsomely restored brownstone façade and landscaped front garden welcome you into this lovingly curated residence which boasts soaring ceilings, six fireplaces, and gracious scale among just a few of its attributes.
 
Entering the parlor floor, 12-foot ceilings with period plaster moldings envelop you immediately with a sense of grandeur, supplemented by its highly desirable and rare triple room flow-through configuration and three wood-burning fireplaces with intricate mantels. Herringbone pattern oak hardwood floors and oversized windows are found throughout, as is a lovely planting terrace overlooking the lushly landscaped rear garden. A butler’s pantry complete with dishwasher, sink, and beverage fridge, as well as a powder room, completes this level.
 
Descending down to the garden level, you are met with an uncommonly open layout – an oversized kitchen, breakfast room, and family room, all visually connected to each other as well as the south-facing garden. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, custom crafted with Allmilmö cabinetry and black granite countertops, a 60-inch Viking cooktop, double Viking wall ovens, two full-size Sub-Zero refrigerators plus a full-height wine refrigerator, two dishwashers, a warming drawer, and three sinks – one which is a perfect flower arranging station. The breakfast room looks out onto the garden through oversized windows, and the adjacent family room is complete with a full wall of built-in cabinetry and another wood-burning fireplace. A powder room is conveniently located on this level, as well. The garden itself is a tranquil respite from the city that surrounds it – enveloped in ivy and lush plantings, it is an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining.
 
One level up from the parlor floor contains three bedrooms (one with a fireplace), two bathrooms (one of which is en-suite) and the home’s centrally-located laundry room with washer/dryer and utility sink. Ceiling heights reach over 10.5 feet and there are lush, green exposures through each bedroom’s oversized windows. The top floor of the home contains three additional bedrooms including the primary suite, complete with another wood-burning fireplace, a walk-through dressing room, and skylit primary bathroom with two sinks as well as a separate jetted tub and shower.
 
A fully-finished lower level with multiple storage rooms, recreation space / fitness zone, and full bathroom with steam shower completes this warm and inviting residence.
 
Located in the heart of Gramercy, you are within a short distance of both Stuyvesant Square Park and Gramercy Park, as well as some of the city’s finest restaurants and cultural institutions. Listing courtesy of Compass ...
