Set… Read More within The Turnure House-an intimate, self-managed cooperative of just seven homes-this convertible two-bedroom, two-bath residence is defined by its grand proportions, architectural integrity, and refined upgrades. Soaring 11-foot ceilings on both levels, original crown moldings, and dramatic new double pane south-facing windows for both thermic efficiency and noise reduction, create a luminous and spacious living environment rarely found in today's market. Owned by a private art dealer, the main level is currently utilized as an intimate, by-appointment showroom, highlighting the home's grand proportions and gallery-like atmosphere. The main level unfolds as a striking open living and entertaining space, anchored by a fully functioning wood-burning fireplace with a carved wood mantel-an ideal setting for both sophisticated gatherings and quiet evenings. The adjoining kitchen is thoughtfully renovated with stainless steel appliances and elegant stone countertops, while a full bath with a deep soaking tub completes this level. A sculptural spiral staircase leads to the private upper floor, where the primary suite offers a serene retreat. Featuring a second wood-burning fireplace, and a generous walk-in closet, the space is both warm and refined. A second bedroom provides versatility for guests, home office, or additional living, while an in-unit washer enhances everyday convenience. Originally constructed in 1858 by Kennedy & Haw, this 24-foot-wide Italianate townhouse has been home to notable figures including Colonel Louis Fitzgerald and John Bouvier III, father of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Today, the building seamlessly blends historic provenance with modern infrastructure, including updated mechanicals, renovated common areas, Verizon Fios wiring, and the benefit of exceptionally low maintenance due to its self-managed structure. Pets permitted - up to two per residence (50 lbs. each, subject to approval). Positioned on a picturesque, tree-lined block just off Park Avenue, the residence offers effortless access to Grand Central Terminal and multiple subway lines, placing the very best of Manhattan within immediate reach. A truly rare opportunity to own a residence of history, scale, and enduring elegance. Read Less
