Property Description
Rare Gramercy Park Pre-War Gem with Floor-to-Ceiling Windows and Juliette Balcony Truly special, this is "the one" for those dreaming of Gramercy Park charm. Perched on the coveted third floor of 242 East 19th Street, this distinctive home features stunning floor-to-ceiling windows and an elegant Juliette balcony, only available on a handful of apartments. The windows, overlooking treetops, flood the entire apartment with natural light. A graceful private foyer leads into an expansive great room centered on an original wood-burning fireplace with its 1920s mantle intact. The versatile layout offers endless possibilities, whether you envision mirrored sofas flanking the fireplace or a large sectional with multiple seating areas. Two walls, lined with custom-built, solid wood bookcases painted with Farrow & Ball high gloss, showcase the home's editorial panache. Unit 3c's sophisticated feel is further enhanced by antiqued mirrored walls that reflect the 9.2-foot beamed ceilings, moldings -- and the view. Custom touches continue with renovated hardwood floors in a lovely shade between hickory and ebony and walls newly freshened with Farrow & Ball "Ancestral White" paint. For those who entertain, look no further. Two separate dining areas enable formal dining in the living room, seating 10 guests comfortably, as well as a cozy breakfast room that accommodates 4 to 6. The breakfast area can also double as a bright windowed office. Delightful in every way, the sunlit windowed kitchen has been carefully curated with custom yellow Ann Sachs tiles accented with bright pops of orange. A vintage 1920s double farmhouse sink, custom-built wood open shelving and a pantry area with ample storage. For serious cooks, there is a butcher block countertop and a special one of white marble -- making this kitchen a chef's dream. Style and functionality unite with a Bosch dishwasher, an LG refrigerator, and a refurbished vintage Wedgwood stove equipped with 6 burners, two ovens and two grills. A separate service entrance completes the authenticity of this exceptional space. The bathroom, also with an oversized window, has a clawfoot tub, glistening glass and polished nickel accents, and a penny tile floor. The bedroom easily accommodates a king-sized bed. It features two additional large windows and a large custom-built cedar-lined closet. Storage abounds is this home with one more enormous custom walk-in closet and a guest closet in the foyer. NOTE: Electricity and gas are included with the maintenance. 242 East 19th Street is a premier Gramercy Art Deco full-service co-op. Impeccably maintained with a 24/7 doorman, live-in manager and full-time handy-man. The building offers a serene landscaped roof deck with sweeping views, and a large laundry room with views of the communal meditation garden. The building is just moments from Gramercy Park, Stuyvesant Square, Union Square, Madison Square Park and many of the neighborhood's justly celebrated restaurants, shops, and cultural touchstones. Co-purchasing, guarantors, and pets are permitted with board approval. Some images have been virtually enhanced.
