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. Set on a picturesque, tree-lined block just moments from Central Park and surrounded by cultural institutions, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a townhouse of exceptional scale, character, and potential.<br><br>Garden Floor<br>A warm, private one-bedroom with rich materials and a seamless indoor-outdoor feel. 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.<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. 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.<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. 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.<br><br>Fourth Floor<br>Two one-bedroom residences. The rear apartment is renovated for light and indoor-outdoor living, opening to a private terrace.
