Description

This two-bedroom duplex offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of pre-war history in the iconic Tudor City enclave of Midtown Manhattan. The residence exudes timeless architectural character, including gracious proportions, soaring 9-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, and south-facing casement portrait windows. At the heart of this exceptional home are two wood-burning fireplaces, one on each level, that lend a warmth and romance rarely found in Manhattan living. The open living and dining space with custom-built bookshelves neighbors a private alcove office with western views. Evenings spent by the fire feel worlds away from the city’s bustle, yet close to Midtown’s best dining, culture, and transit systems. The chef’s kitchen has been thoughtfully designed to marry contemporary functionality with classic style, outfitted with professional appliances, fine finishes, and generous counter space that will delight the most discerning home cook, all without sacrificing the pre-war soul of the home. The bedrooms are accessed either by the spiral staircase or their own convenient entrance from the 3rd floor. The charming primary bedroom has plenty of natural light from five south-facing windows. The primary and secondary bedrooms share a large windowed bathroom outfitted in crisp white tile and a glass shower door. Storage is never a concern with an abundance of spacious closets throughout both floors and an additional storage space in the basement. The duplex layout provides a natural separation between living and sleeping spaces, making it ideal for both entertaining and everyday comfort. Two floors, two bedrooms, two full bathrooms and two wood burning fireplaces equals one unforgettable apartment.

In 1988 the Landmarks Preservation designated the park in the National Register of Historic Places.
