Gramercy Park Red Brick Townhouse

This Gramercy Park townhouse, built in the Anglo-Italianate style in 1854, offers a blend of historic character and modern living. Located on a noted tree-lined street in the Gramercy Park Historic District between Irving and Third Avenues, this red brick home is in impeccable condition, having been carefully renovated to preserve its original charm, while incorporating contemporary conveniences. Imbued with the experience of a life lived in Milan, Paris, London, and Madrid, this stylish and comfortable home provides a tranquil retreat amidst the vibrant pulse of downtown Manhattan.

143 East 18th Street spans across five levels, featuring four bedrooms and four full bathrooms. This home provides ample space for comfortable living and entertaining.

An updated chef's eat-in kitchen is equipped with a Wolf five-burner stove, Sub-Zero refrigerator drawers, an additional full-sized refrigerator, Fisher & Paykel dishwasher drawers, and two ovens. Custom Wood-Mode cabinetry and a wet bar connecting the kitchen to the dining room make this space both functional and elegant for gatherings. The striking dining room is elevated by an important antique Murano chandelier.

Original details like seven working fireplaces (all of which were recently converted to gas), hand-carved moldings, and the original mahogany staircase, have all been meticulously preserved. Four skylights bring natural light into the home, enhancing the impact of open spaces and high ceilings.

The fourth floor is dedicated to the primary suite, featuring original wood floors and a handsome original fireplace mantle. The primary bathroom is a relaxing retreat, with three skylights, a Marcy hammered copper double slipper tub, and Perrin & Rowe fixtures, including a bidet.

Additional features include central air conditioning throughout and a Saint-Moritz Chalet-style media room on the lower level. The media room, with its cedar sauna, Dolby surround installation, sound-insulated walls, concrete floors, and barn-wood paneling, provides direct access to a planted and decked backyard, offering a versatile space for both relaxation and entertainment.

Additional design features include Farrow and Ball paint throughout, Brunchwig & Fils Toile de Jouy wallpaper and fabrics on the primary floor, and Thibaut Chateau du Loire Toile de Jouy and wallpaper and fabrics in the dining room and kitchen.

Gramercy Park itself is an exclusive, private green oasis, surrounded by low-lying, stunning 19th-century architecture. Just steps away, you'll find Irving Place, a vibrant hub of restaurants, bars, and establishments that capture the essence of the city's rich history and culture. This house is a short walk to the 4, 5, 6, N, L, R, and Q trains and the park at Union Square. Greenwich Village, the West Village, and Washington Square Park are all likewise easily accessed from this location.

Co-Exclusive with Compass.
