Description

Create a solarium, glass rooftop, or entertain in your private garden. Use your imagination and call your architect to convert this property into an absolutely fabulous spacious single-family mansion in the heart of the city .
Tucked snuggly away on a tree-lined street for more than 100 years, this quintessential New York City townhouse possesses the rare combination of charm and versatility that is the dream of any home buyer. And although it wears an unassuming mask of simple limestone, the home behind it is filled with a cavalcade of attributes both enticing and unexpected.
The building holds 4 units and rises 5 stories, but it has 6 separate levels of living space. Spread across those levels are 8 bathrooms (7 full and 2 half-baths), 8 bedrooms, 4 kitchens (each one on a different floor), 9 wood burning fireplaces, a bar, an outdoor garden, and 2 roof decks. Starting at the bottom, the basement contains a large bedroom with its own closet, an attached half-bathroom, and a washer/dryer.
The triplex garden level newly renovated configured 3-bedroom 3.5 bath apartment with a garden, perfect for entertaining.
The parlor level consists of a pair of split-winged bedrooms, each with its own full bathroom, closet space, and fireplace.
Rented for $16,000.
The third and fourth levels are apartments all their own. The third features a spacious master bedroom with a large closet, 1 full bathroom, 1 fireplace, and kitchen, living/dining area anchored by a bay window with a view of the street. The fourth is comprised of 2 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom.
Currently rented for $8,700/month (pre-Covid $12,000).
Both the third and fourth levels are equipped with their own galley-style kitchen.
The fourth level is a large 1 bedroom with a balcony, open new a kitchen/dining room/living room that flows openly across grey hardwood floors. It has 1 fireplace, 1 full bathroom and washer and dryer. Rented for $4500/month.
Designed with a thought for contemporary flare, the PH level 2 bedroom 2 full baths and the roof ,boasts a kitchen/dining room/living room that flows openly across grey hardwood floors. It has 1 fireplace and 1 full bathroom with a separate shower and bathtub.
The kitchen features white lacquer cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and a sleek countertop and backsplash. Up a flight of floating stairs and nestled between a brace of outdoor decks, the rooftop bedroom comes with its own closet space and a full bathroom with clean, white-tiled walls and a double vanity sink. While both can be considered typical of city living, each roof deck has a unique atmosphere. With a surround of rising buildings, the north- facing deck confers upon its dwellers a courtyard-like feeling. Given the extra buffer the street and a low-lying neighbor, the south-facing deck enjoys an open view of other rooftops and the local skyline. Rented for $9,750.
Just over a block away from Central Park, is located near several main subway lines, and sits mere steps of some of New York’s finest restaurants including Michelin-starred neighbor “Daniel “and dessert icon Serendipity III. Though it is surely a home with a long and rich history, it is also a home that is ready to sail into the future.
