34 Gramercy Park E #3BR New York, NY 10003

PARISIAN GRANDEUR ON GRAMERCY PARK Experience grand Parisian style in the heart of Manhattan in this masterfully gut-renovated two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bathroom residence featuring original gilded age architectural detail and luxury finishes. Located in a revered, full-service cooperative on Gramercy Park, this exquisite home also provides the opportunity to secure one of New York City's most prized possessions - a coveted key to its only private park. Built in 1883, The Gramercy originally advertised its homes as "French flats" to distinguish its fine accommodations from less inspired apartment houses. The building's historic origins and ornate architecture inspired this beautifully restored and elevated unit's decidedly Parisian aesthetic. New finishes were carefully selected to match existing elements. Soaring ceilings with designer lighting by Apparatus and Urban Archeology rise above new custom white oak chevron floors. All of the magnificent original details were retained and restored, while new skim-coating and Farrow & Ball paint provide a pristine backdrop throughout. A gracious entry ushers you into the expansive nearly 30-foot-long salon, where you'll find a generous footprint for relaxing and entertaining alongside large windows and dramatic cloud chandeliers. An adjacent alcove provides an ideal space for a home office. The apartment includes 2 walk-in closets and a convenient entry way coat closet. The thoroughly renovated kitchen pairs custom millwork with distinctive Arabescato marble countertops and backsplashes. The fleet of professional appliances includes a vented Viking range, dishwasher, Sub-Zero refrigerator-freezer and oversized wine refrigerator. An in-unit washer and vented dryer add wonderful convenience. A dramatic nearly 50-foot-long windowed hallway separates the public areas from the private quarters. Enter the bedroom wing, where you'll find the serene primary suite with eastern exposures and a stately original fireplace that can be converted to natural gas. A comfortable second bedroom can also be used as a den. The meticulously gut-renovated full bathroom features an oversized rain shower, two console vanities, and a Toto washlet commode, plus stunning Catchpole & Rye hardware, Waterworks tiles and all-new plumbing and electric. An equally well-appointed powder room with picture frame molding completes this gorgeous Gramercy Park showplace. This home's extensive upgrades include solid-wood paneled doors, California closet fittings, thoroughly restored original radiators, all-new brass hardware and custom Bendheim glass transoms made to match the existing historic handblown glass. Designed by George W. DaCunha, The Gramercy is a commanding red brick and terra-cotta structure incorporating dramatic Queen Anne and Edwardian elements credited as the city's oldest existing cooperative. This haven for celebrities past and present boasts 24-hour doorman service, a live-in building manager and a breathtaking lobby featuring an original fireplace, Tiffany glass ceiling and stunning Grueby and Minton tiles. The Gramercy also offers private storage, a package room, a bike room and central laundry. Fifty percent financing, pets and pieds-á-terres are permitted with approval. Surrounded by Greenwich Village, the Flatiron District and NoMad, this Gramercy Park home is at the epicenter of exciting Manhattan living with abundant shops, restaurants, services and outdoor space at every turn. Union Square and Madison Square Park have a dog park, greenmarkets and year-round events mere blocks away, and foodies will love the proximity to numerous Michelin-starred restaurants, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Eataly.
