Originally designed in the… Read More Neo-Grec style by Steinmetz & Carter in the late 19th century, the residence blends timeless pre-war craftsmanship with refined modern updates. Spanning approximately 8,290 square feet including the cellar, the property is currently configured as five residential units, offering flexibility for both live-with-income and single-family conversion for end-users. The townhouse will be delivered vacant apart from free-market tenants in the duplex which expires in October 2026.

Entered beneath the stoop, it opens to a generous eat-in kitchen with honed granite counters, a large island, and direct access to the landscaped garden with custom bluestone pavers—ideal for entertaining or everyday living. Arched ceiling details add old-world character, paired with wide-plank rustic wood and original barn beam plank floors. Multiple entrances and a connected living area allow flexibility for a home office or guest space, all with a strong sense of privacy. Parlour Floor, Owner’s Duplex Designed for entertaining, the parlor level features a full-width dining room with preserved woodwork, a decorative mantel, and original pocket doors that open to a gracious front living room. Off the dining room is the updated kitchen with quartz countertops, multiple south-facing windows, and a washer/vented dryer concealed within custom cabinetry. A powder room sits opposite the grand wrought-iron staircase, while 12-foot ceilings and oversized windows bring exceptional light and scale throughout. Third Floor, Owner’s Duplex Two full-width bedrooms create a true private level. The rear primary suite includes a Venetian-plastered en-suite bath with an arched niche over the marble-encased soaking tub by the window. At the front, a full bath sits off the landing, followed by the second full-width bedroom with bay windows—currently set up as an office with custom built-ins. Central air and in-unit laundry add modern comfort while preserving the home’s historic character. Fourth Floor Two one-bedroom residences. The rear apartment is renovated for light and indoor-outdoor living, opening to a private terrace. The front apartment offers classic pre-war charm with large windows and a decorative fireplace; it is rent-stabilized and delivered vacant. Fifth Floor A bright, airy two-bedroom with multiple skylights and a loft-like feel. Includes a pass-through kitchen with Pietra Cardoza stone countertops, two south-facing bedrooms, ample storage, and built-in shutters—an elevated, quiet retreat at the top of the house. Read Less
