238 E 19TH Street

Ideally positioned between a row of Italianate townhouses sits 238 East 19th Street, a 20?-wide, four-story plus finished basement single-family home which has just undergone a tasteful restoration. While keeping the integrity of its original 1860s build and period details including ornate plaster moldings, the sweeping stair and banister, white and black marble mantles, and wide plank floors, this house has been built for today?s modern lifestyle. Updated features include gracious, open spaces for entertaining, dual zone HVAC, a dumbwaiter, a country size chef?s kitchen with large double doors that open onto the garden, a center marble island with built-in wine storage, a luxurious windowed en-suite master bath with deep soaking tub, double vanity, a large stall shower, three wood burning fireplaces, surround sound throughout, and an excavated basement with an oversized laundry room, recreation space, storage, brand new mechanicals, and an original brick arch perfect for wine storage. Enter this home through the gated forecourt to garden level or from the high stoop into the luxurious parlor floor ideal for entertaining. Each room is distinct. With grand proportions, this house features five bedrooms plus private guestroom, five full and one half baths. Facing south onto other townhouse gardens with no obstructions, 238 East 19th Street maintains its sun flooded, landscaped garden. In addition, there is a sundeck balcony located off the fourth floor bedroom. Steps from Gramercy Park and Irving Place.
