Elegantly Yours: A Key to the Park Apartment 16C, a beautiful one Bedroom Gramercy Park home is a sight to behold. The high floor pre-war beauty is housed in a 1929 Landmark Building looking south on Gramercy Park. The singular, only private-gated park in the city is noteworthy for its majestic presence and spectacular manicured garden. Only the residents in homes surrounding the park have the privilege of access to this serene oasis. 44 Gramercy Park North is one such building; its residents enjoy the distinction of having the prized key to the park. Apartment 16C, a top floor apartment with north and east exposures provides amazing light and open city views. The arched entry way with coat closet opens onto a stunning, spacious living room; the north-facing wall of casement windows is the elegant focal point of the space.

The high beamed 99 ceilings, hardwood floors, and the magnificent and wide, carved wood-burning fireplace creates a warm and magical atmosphere; both for entertaining and quiet solitude.
