Bring your contractor to this sunny, one bedroom, prewar home located on Gramercy Park's famed and landmarked "Block Beautiful". This apartment is nestled in a unique "jewel box" turn-of-the-century Arts and Crafts style co-op that was designed by the renowned architect Frederick Sterner in 1911. Surrounding this special building is an eclectic variety of historic townhouses, some of which were renovated by Sterner around 1915 from Greek Revival to Arts and Crafts and there is even a Gothic Revival townhouse across the street. This apartment has three exposures--south, west and north with views of the Empire State building and other iconic buildings, a wood burning fireplace, its original pine hardwood floors, a renovated bathroom, individual storage space for a monthly fee, bike storage and laundry facilities in the basement. Sorry no pets. 132 East 19th Street has been the home to author Ida Tarbell, the society painter Cecilia Beaux, banker and patron of the arts, Chester Dale and the architect's brother, painter Albert Sterner. It has also been the home to actresses Lillian Gish, Theda Bara, Ethel Barrymore and Helen Hayes. The Gramercy Park neighborhood is truly a special oasis within the city. Between the park's beauty, the quaintness of Irving Place and the historic buildings that have been preserved there, it is one of New York's finest neighborhoods. You are also centrally located near many premier restaurants and Union Square, which hosts the farmer's market and has subway lines to connect you to any destination in the city.
