105 Manhattan Avenue

Just Listed – Unicorn Brownstone on Manhattan Avenue

On a landmarked block of symmetrically arranged townhouses from 1900, steps away from Central Park, you will find 105 Manhattan Avenue, a 2700+ square foot, brand new family home cloaked in elegance and sophistication.

This four story, 18 foot wide, 4 bedroom, 3 full bath (with 3 wood burning fireplaces) townhome has been completely renovated from top to bottom by the owner to his personal exacting standards.

With a brand new roof and everything completely redone from the parapet down to the flooring of the English basement, every surface of this house has been meticulously recrafted in a modern way.

Every bathroom is redone from the subfloors and studs with top of the line plumbing fixtures and faucets, stunning floor to ceiling carrara marble walls and herringbone carrara floors complete with radiant heating.

There is both a tankless baseboard hot water heating system and a brand new heat pump HVAC system providing both additional heating on the coldest days and ice cold air conditioning in the summer complete with modern thermostats.

The current owner (and former occupant) is a world renown lighting designer and has redone the lighting personally to reflect his love of incandescent light, but with systems that can easily be converted to LED. With designer chandeliers, precise lamping and designer dimmer switches, as beautiful as this home is during the sun drenched day, the evenings are spectacular in their own right.

Carrera marble sinks and kitchen countertops, Zebra stone backsplashes, beautiful bathroom fixtures and beautifully done ebony floors throughout harmoniously create a singularly unique environment that is a block from the most beautiful part of Central Park.

This Unicorn of a home presents a unique opportunity to acquire a 125 year old home that is simultaneously historic in nature yet completely modern in design and sensibility, with the new owners having the distinction of being the very first people to live in this building’s newest chapter in life.
