CONTRACT SIGNED Private Garden Sanctuary in the City Sophisticated garden and parlor floor duplex renovated and perfected to the highest standard is now offered for the first time in a discreet, historic townhouse in Gramercy/Stuyvesant Square. In mint- move in condition this elegant home offers the grace of a turn-of-the-century home with every modern convenience of today. The grandly proportioned parlor floor of this beautiful home contains a true chef's kitchen with Sub-Zero, Viking and Miele appliances, soapstone and marble counters, custom millwork with glass-paneled lighted cabinetry, and a charming oversized bright eastern window overlooking a deep planted window box- the ideal place to prepare a lavish meal and sit with a cup of tea. The side by side formal dining and living rooms feature high ceilings with restored architectural detail, custom baseboard and crown molding, rift cut solid white oak flooring, a working, wood burning fireplace, and two soaring Palladian arched, triple glazed windows and French doors overlooking your magical, private garden. The European influenced full bathroom on this level features a cast iron claw foot tub, marble basket weave flooring, and Waterworks fixtures. Downstairs a gently sloping stairway, you will find a truly luxurious master bedroom with a second, working, wood burning fireplace, custom closets and cabinetry, and French doors that lead to your beautiful garden.

The two rooms on this level share a spa influenced serene bathroom with Ann Sacks mosaic tile lining an oversized, step-in windowed shower, and offers radiant heated floors and towel warmers along with Waterworks fixtures. The private garden is essentially a "private park" in the city. Accessed via a butterfly staircase from the parlor level, and step-out French doors from the master, and measuring a splendid 16.5 feet wide and 44 feet deep, the garden offers the ideal outdoor living lifestyle for large scale entertaining as well as quiet enjoyment. Paved in large slab bluestone, planted with mature trees, fully irrigated and lit, the designer landscaped garden features essentially a series of rooms for dining, lounging, grilling and gardening. From its unique perspective facing West, overlooking neighboring gardens, one feels completely removed from the bustle of the city beyond.
