DESCRIÇÃO

Triple-mint renovated 1 bedroom/1 bath with a huge landscaped private terrace, located in a 29-foot-wide brownstone mansion built in 1853 on one of the most beautiful blocks in the stuyvesant square historic district, a highly coveted and landmarked enclave of gramercy.  Perfectly situated directly across the street from beautiful stuyvesant square park and surrounded by many architecturally distinctive buildings, this handsome brownstone with an elevator still has a grand stoop, balcony ironwork, a framed entranceway, and a gracious entry foyer and staircase.  Located on the 4th floor, this quiet apartment faces north in the back of the building, overlooking other brownstone gardens and terraces, providing a tranquil and inviting urban refuge with great natural light.  The apartment features a proper entry foyer with a walk-in closet that leads to an ample-size living/dining room with a decorative fireplace with whitewashed original brickwork.  The living/dining room overlooks landscaped terraces, gardens and trees.  Sliding glass doors off the living room lead to the crown jewel of the apartment: private outdoor space.  The large landscaped terrace measures 23.  5 feet x 16 feet and is surrounded by other terraces, gardens and trees from the brownstones that line east 17th and east 18th streets.  Off the living/dining room is a completely new renovated kitchen featuring all stainless appliances, including a dishwasher, refrigerator, gas range, and microwave; classic white shaker-style custom cabinetry with recessed lighting; and plentiful silestone countertops.  Also off the living/dining room is an ample-size bedroom with a large walk-in closet and beautiful views of the landscaped terrace.  The bathroom has been completely renovated with a new toilet, vanity, tub and tiles.  The apartment also features new everything throughout: new wide-plank floors, new doors, door moldings and door hardware, new baseboard moldings, new windows and sliding glass door, new through-the-wall acs, and new custom-built radiator covers.  This is a co-op, but because it’s a sponsor sale, the purchasing process is much easier—no co-op board approval required.  This is gramercy living at its best: close to all the charming shops and restaurants on irving place, to union square with its renowned greenmarket, and to trader joe’s, whole foods, and wegman’s—and just across the street from beautiful stuyvesant square park.  Also a short walk to greenwich village, the east village, union square, flatiron, and chelsea, with convenient access to midtown and grand central terminal.  The 4, 5, 6, n, r, w, q, and l trains—convenient to both the east and west sides—are all located nearby at union square.  This boutique co-op permits pied-à-terres.  The low monthly maintenance of $1,451 per month makes this home even more attractive.  Early history of the building: known today as the margaret neilson house, it was built in 1853 and sold to margaret ann fish neilson in 1856.  Neilson was the daughter of nicholas fish and elizabeth stuyvesant, both descended from old new york families.  She was the sister of secretary of state, senator, and governor hamilton fish and a direct descendant of peter stuyvesant, new york’s last dutch governor, whose 17th-century farm encompassed all of stuyvesant square and beyond.  In 1975 the new york city landmarks preservation commission designated the building and its surrounding neighborhood as the stuyvesant square historic district.
