132 E 19th Street #5-F

Situated on one of the most beautiful blocks in Manhattan, this elegant prewar apartment is rich in history. Built by the famed architect, Frederick Sterner, the landmarked building has been home to a roster of luminaries, including Lillian Gish and Ethel Barrymore. Preserving their classic characteristics, the interior spaces have been updated for modern living. The centerpiece of this apartment is the grand living room with immaculate proportions, featuring a wall of double-hung windows which provide abundant daylight and a view of the spectacular surrounding architecture. Another focal point is the beautiful wood-burning fireplace. The clever floor plan creates an efficient flow through the living space with northern, eastern, and southern exposure. The bathroom is renovated, but it preserves the wonderful original details. Additional features are handsome original heart pine wood floors, washer/dryer hook-up, and the vented kitchen featuring Miele, Viking and Perrin & Rowe appliances. The building also provides a bike room, laundry facilities, and private storage (for a monthly fee). Serene Gramercy Park is a special oasis within the city and one of New York's finest neighborhoods. You will be moments away from the bustle of Union Square, the East Village and many of the city?s finest shops and restaurants.
