Set in the heart of Gramercy, 128 East 19th Street is an architecturally significant, 23.5-foot-wide landmarked townhouse with rare scale, rich provenance, and timeless appeal. Once the home of Lincoln Kirstein, co-founder of the New York City Ballet, this stately residence is a true piece of New York's cultural and architectural history. This grand home retains its historic charm while offering exceptional potential for customization. High ceilings, sun-flooded rooms, detailed moldings, and original hardwood floors define the elegant interiors. The garden floor welcomes you with gracious entertaining spaces, including formal living and dining rooms, period fireplaces, and oversized windows that bathe the space in natural light. Multiple levels of flexible living space offer a blend of grand entertaining and private retreat, with generous bedrooms, home offices, and gathering areas throughout.

Revered by historians, architects, and New Yorkers alike, "Block Beautiful" is not just a location - it's a destination. A living tribute to Manhattan's golden age of residential design, and a setting that elevates this offering into the realm of the truly exceptional.
