Bright and airy, this historic 4-story plus cellar single-family townhouse is ideally positioned on a pretty tree-lined residential street in the Kips Bay neighborhood of Manhattan. Designed in the Greek Revival style in the mid-19th century, the 18 wide beautifully maintained brick faade is adorned with three windows on each floor with custom shutters. Currently configured as a single-family home, the utility of the house is flexible with an option for a garden level rental if desired. Impressive in scale, the house features high ceilings, abundant oversized windows and lovely natural light streaming in throughout the day. Beautiful old-world details include 5 original fireplaces (some wood-burning), hardwood floors, solid wood pocket doors, built-in bookshelves and exposed brick. Modern renovations include central air conditioning, new kitchen with top-of-line appliances, two newly renovated baths, laundry, ADT security system, intercom phone system, built-in sprinkler system, water filtration system and exceptional custom-designed storage throughout. The flexible layout presents 3 to 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. This elegant home boasts a beautifully planted, brick-tiled outdoor garden with access off the garden floor and a Juliet balcony off the dining room with staircase to the garden below. Superbly positioned, 205 East 31st Street is surrounded by the best the city has to offer including a bounty of conveniences. Located on a beautiful tree-lined block in Kips Bay between Third and Second Avenues, the building is easily accessible to the Gramercy, Murray Hill, Flatiron, Union Square and Chelsea neighborhoods of Manhattan.
