Spectacular Historic Townhouse with 1,000 SF Garden and Terrace

Rarely available 20-foot-wide Anglo-Italianate townhouse with a 1,000 SF south-facing garden and oversized third-floor terrace, located just moments from Carl Schurz Park. One of four contiguous red-brick homes built in 1862, this designer-updated residence blends historic architectural character with modern living.

The parlor level opens into a grand front living room with soaring ceilings and a striking antique hand-carved wooden ceiling imported from Europe. Toward the rear is a large bedroom or den with antique leaded south-facing windows overlooking the garden, along with an en-suite bath featuring a deep soaking tub, double sinks, and generous closets.

The second floor is configured as a full-floor family living and entertaining space with a wall of glass sliding doors opening onto the sun-filled terrace. A second kitchen provides exceptional flexibility for entertaining or multi-generational living.

An elegant curved staircase leads to the third floor, which features two spacious bedrooms and two windowed bathrooms.

The garden level, with both private street access and interior entry, includes a north-facing bedroom with en-suite bath and an updated open kitchen flowing into a dining area/den with direct access to the lush garden.

A full-height, dry sub-basement offers outstanding potential for a gym, wellness level, wine cellar, or additional living space, and currently houses laundry, mechanicals, and extensive storage.

Configured as a legal two-family home with approximately 3,800 SF across five levels, the property is currently used as a single-family residence and can easily remain so or be reconfigured.

Not landmarked and outside a landmark district, the home also offers significant air rights, creating opportunities for vertical or rear expansion.

Ideally located near Carl Schurz Park, the East River promenade, neighborhood dining and shopping, and the Q subway line.

Tenant-occupied; can be delivered vacant. Private showings by appointment.
