House: 349 East 19th Street

Set on a row of North and Southside townhouses, 349 East 19th Street has undergone a complete renovation and restoration over the past 10 years. At 20’-wide and four stories tall, this townhouse is currently configured as an owner’s upper triplex unit with a terrace and rear yard access, and a mint condition 1-bedroom and 1 bathroom floor-through garden unit with HVAC systems throughout.

Access the upper triplex by a grand staircase with restored original banister and spindles. The gracious and sun-flooded parlor floor features 12’ ceiling heights, a loft-like living room with 3 oversized windows in front, an original wood-burning marble-mantled fireplace, a renovated, open, eat-in, chef’s kitchen with a center island, a powder room, and access to the private, 40’-deep landscaped garden.

The upper floors of this triplex feature 4 bedrooms, a large office/den, and 4.5 bathrooms, which include a 5 fixture, en-suite, master bathroom replete with Carrara marble slab, a steam shower, and a Jacuzzi tub.

349 East 19th Street is located near Gramercy Park and in the immediate vicinity of Stuyvesant Square Park, Union Square and its transportation hub and Farmer’s Market, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and some of downtown’s finest restaurants. Also convenient to Friends Seminary, PS40, UNIS and fabulous neighborhood schools. This property offers a multitude of options, which include live with income to cover all expenses, or a seamless conversion into a single-family home. Located outside the historic district with approximately 1,500 square feet of unused air rights, this property could be expanded in the rear or on top.
