Description

Bring your architect to this rarely available park-facing 20-foot townhouse full of original detail and ready for a 21st century renewal. Every window in the Italianate style facade enjoys sunlit south views onto the 20-acre Mount Morris Park. With its recently restored facade and interior full of original detail, no. 7 is a unique combination of well-preserved history and untapped development potential directly off Fifth Avenue.

The Parlor floor is perfect for entertaining with 11'4" ceiling heights and grandly proportioned living and formal dining rooms. Original details abound- from the grand plasterwork, wooden shutters and intricately carved window surrounds, marble mantlepieces, and three enormous period mirrors. The Garden floor features a front-facing bedroom, two interior rooms, full bathroom, and large eat-in-kitchen. A charming sunroom opens to exceptionally deep garden, running nearly 42' to the rear of the property. Third and Fourth Floors retain their classic layout of front and rear bedrooms, each with original mantlepieces and connecting WICs. Adjacent to both Fourth Floor bedrooms are windowed rooms perfect for use as a home office, nursery, or luxurious dressing room.

Currently configured as a spacious single family townhouse, the property comes with a multiple dwelling ‘garden apartments’ building class designation. With over 6,000 square feet of total potential usable floor area, we recommend that any interested purchases carry out a zoning review to assess expansion or other development potential. The property is being sold in as-is estate condition. The Parlor, Third and Fourth floors are currently unused, and require renovation.
