House: 141 East 18th Street

Completely reimagined by the famed Steven Harris Architect and Regele Builders, Inc., 141 East 18th Street is a rare Gramercy Park residence that combines the perfect blend of traditional elements and carefully considered contemporary updates and finishes throughout.

No detail was overlooked in the meticulous renovation of 141 East 18th Street. Configured as an upper quadruplex over a private one-bedroom apartment in the English Basement, this home boasts a grand stoop entry, excellent light, oversized windows, grand ceiling heights, and 8 air conditioning zones as well as a 9th unit in the A/V closet, creating a truly one-of-a-kind space.

The classic parlor floor offers approximately 12-foot-tall ceilings and provides the ideal layout for welcoming guests while graciously sized windows allow light to flood the home. In the rear sits the beautifully outfitted Eggersmann modern German kitchen, featuring luxurious finishes and high-end appliances including a commercial grade stove and exhaust. This magnificent space has direct access to the rear deck, and overlooks the private garden with hand-selected specimen Katsura tree. A private one-bedroom apartment with a kitchenette, and a washer and dryer sits below in the English Basement, perfect for hosting a guest or functioning as a home office.

A beautiful sweeping staircase with custom banister and spindles is perfectly situated in the center of the home. Above on the third level sits the perfect entertaining space; a living room and den/study, each with a gas fireplace, separated by a center gallery. The full floor primary suite features a center entry with custom cerused oak millwork dressing closets throughout, a luxurious bathroom in the front with Corian, Marble, and Caesarstone natural crystals in the countertops and an oversized shower for two, and sleeping quarters in the rear.

The fifth floor has two sizeable bedrooms, both with en suite bathrooms and ample closet space. The final floor features the glass skylight bulkhead to the private roof with open views to the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, the New York Life Building, and beyond.

141 East 18th Street is a stunning townhouse with lovely wrought-iron work and a charming forecourt. Positioned on a tree-lined townhouse block in desirable Gramercy Park, the building is a short distance from countless restaurants, shops, and nightlife venues. The newly designed Stuyvesant Square Park, famed Irving Place, Gramercy Park, and nearby Union Square provide open space and recreation on the surrounding blocks.
