140 E 19TH Street #House

A magnificent 23.5 foot wide townhouse featuring a living room with a 20-foot high ceiling built by the legendary Rosario Candela as part of a 1919 Sterner and Wolf remodel of a house on Gramercy Park's "block beautiful" - a charming stretch of 19th Street between Irving Place and Third Avenue. Abundant wall space provides a gallery-like setting for works of art. A remarkable wall of casement windows overlooks a private south-facing garden, and an intimate mezzanine overlooks this grand reception room. An adjacent eat-in kitchen features classic black-and-white-floors, a substantial chef's range and a service entrance for easy deliveries. On the second floor, a huge master bedroom suite occupies the entire width of the house, with French doors opening onto a private terrace. Four additional bedrooms, 4 1/2 baths, a sky-lit home office and a basement recording studio complete this remarkable family home. An elevator provides direct access to every floor. Built 60 feet deep on a 92-foot lot, this approximately 5,760 square-foot house offers the unique opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece with spaces for both grand entertaining and quiet contemplation.
