Have your very own slice of historic NYC for less than renting! This exceptional apartment is truly a no-brainer: a charming prewar home on an idyllic, landmarked block, featuring 2 bedrooms, open landmark views, beautiful sunlight, in-unit washer/dryer, exposed brick, high ceilings, and low maintenance… for $960k! The apartment is located in the Stuyvesant Square Historic District close to Union Square, Irving Place, all modes of transportation, and the best downtown shopping and dining. Fun fact: 24 of the 62 restaurants given a Michelin star in Manhattan in 2023 are within a mile of the apartment. This split two bedroom apartment features 7 windows, a windowed eat-in kitchen that is open to the living room, a renovated windowed bathroom, a bright living room, and two bedrooms. One of the bedrooms has an attached room that can be used as a Carrie Bradshaw level walk-in-closet, office, or nursery (or opened up to kitchen to act as a third bedroom). This room has a south-facing window with a romantic view of historic St. George’s Church (J.P. Morgan’s church in the 1800s). 120 year old brick, painted white, welcomes you as you enter the apartment. The eat in kitchen has new appliances and a combination washer and dryer. The newly renovated bathroom is windowed with a vanity with good counter space and a bathtub with stunning brass retro fixtures. THE BUILDING: Nestled among historic buildings and red-brick townhouses on a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of Gramercy is the architecturally renowned 1903 Beaux Arts coop building, fittingly named “Mon Bijou” (my jewel). This well maintained prewar building is loaded with charm, original detailed molding, and beautiful ceramic tile floors in common areas. Original marble stairs and plant-adorned windows guide you up three flights to tranquil Apartment 4B, which features views of blue skies, trees, and townhouses across the way. Pets are welcome with board approval. Subletting permitted. Pied-a-terres permitted. Guarantor, gifting, and parents' involvement in purchase allowed case by case. Gratis outdoor bike storage is available. Storage units available for just $21/month. Buyer pays 2% flip tax. THE NEIGHBORHOOD: Two blocks from Union Square, this apartment is perfectly situated close to shopping, incredible eateries, activities, and transportation (the NQR and 456 trains leave from Union Square, the L train is just 3 blocks down on 3rd Avenue, and buses in all directions leave from nearby). A Citibike station is half a block away. The building is close to multiple grocery stores, including a Westside Market on the corner of 17th and 3rd Ave, Trader Joe’s 3 blocks south, Whole Foods in Union Square, and the Union Square Greenmarket. The apartment is on the same block as beautiful four-acre Stuyvesant Square Park, which has a dog park, extraordinary old trees, two fountains, and the original cast iron fence from 1847.
