Originally designed in the 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.<br><br>Interiors are richly appointed with soaring ceilings, elegant crown moldings, warm hardwood floors, and stately fireplaces, creating refined, light-filled living spaces with enduring character. Owned and thoughtfully enhanced by a highly experienced New York City architect, the home reflects a careful balance of historic integrity and modern design.

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.<br><br>Parlour Floor, Owner’s Duplex<br>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.

A powder room sits opposite the grand wrought-iron staircase, while 12-foot ceilings and oversized windows bring exceptional light and scale throughout.<br><br>Third Floor, Owner’s Duplex<br>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.
