Chak kay gen yon istwa, men kay sa yo ki nan 223–225 East 31st Street gen yon pase ki trè istorye. Ann konsantre sou òf la pou kounye a. Nan Murray Hill, pwopriyete sa a prezante yon opòtinite yon fwa nan yon jenerasyon pou akeri yon townhouse doube laj, ki se yon konbinezon de 2 townhouses ak yon sèl sètifika okipasyon. Kay la gen yon lajè enpresyonan 33 pye ak yon pwofondè 98 pye. Kouvri apeprè 8,141 pye kare, pwopriyete sa a ki gen 4 etaj ofri echèl, fleksibilite, ak distenksyon ki ra jwenn nan Manhattan. Pwopriyete a ofri yon FAR ki ka bati nan 2216 pye kare.

223-225 East 31st Street se 2 nan 4 townhouses idantik ki bati nan yon ranje soti nan 221 rive 227 East 31st Street. Yo te bati alantou 1858 nan stil Anglo-Italianate epi li pa tipik pou kay sa yo, men nan zòn nan, kay sa yo te bati ak Lintel fè asye orne anlè tout fenèt yo avèk baskèt ak kle enspire pa franse. Pandan kèk sous endike dat konstriksyon an kòm 1901, dosye istorik yo montre yo te fini orijinalman nan fen ane 1850 yo. Achitèk orijinal pou ranje a pa kle non li nan dosye istorik komen, ki te tipik pou lojman spekilatif nan mitan syèk la. Nou nan pwosesis rechèch plis dosye istorik.

Espas Komèsyal (Premye & Dezyèm Etaj + Souterrain) Nivo tè a gen yon zòn resepsyon entènasyonal (ki ka fasilman reconfigure pou adapte plizyè itilizasyon), yon kwizin, de twalèt, yon espas garaj pakin sou sit, ak twa biwo prive. Nan direksyon dèyè, yon espas estidyo ki te bati nan jaden de tou de kay yo ak yon wotè dramatik 23 pye, 42 pye long ak 30 pye laj, avèk yon do-kou solèy retractable ki kreye yon pwen achitekti ki frapan. Volim inik sa a te parèt nan seri HBO And Just Like That..., ki se kontinyasyon Sex and the City. Sa nou konnen nan dosye istorik yo se ke bilding sa a te achte pa premye Legliz Presbiteryen Chinwa nan New York e li te tou yon lekòl, epi estrikti masiv sa a te pwobableman jimnaz yo.

Pati komèsyal la ofri tou aksè dirèk nan yon basement plen, ki bay anpil espas depo adisyonèl oswa espas fonksyonèl. Dezyèm Etaj la gen yon twalèt konplè ak plizyè chanm vid ak planche an bwa ak fenèt miltip ki soti nan planche rive nan plafon ki gade sou East 31st Street, ki pèmèt anpil limyè natirèl.

Twazyèm Etaj la nan apeprè 1897 pye kare, se yon apatman rezidansyèl ki pwolonje sou tout lajè ak longè etaj la. Yon plan etaj jenere ki gen 2 chanm, 2 twalèt, yon gwo zòn salon manje ak yon sal solèy ki mennen nan yon gwo teras prive, ki kreye yon eksperyans k ap viv anndan-deyò san pwoblèm. Katriyèm Etaj la nan apeprè 1500 pye kare, se kounye a yon apatman 2 chanm, 2 twalèt ak yon salon ki gen yon skylight ak yon kwizin ki gwo pou kwit manje.

Sa a se yon opòtinite eksepsyonèl pou devlopè, envestisè, itilizatè final, oswa achtè ki vle viv ak travay ki ap chèche echèl, potansyèl revni, ak karaktè achitekti nan yon kote Manhattan ki nan pik. 223 East 31st Street chita trankil sou bò nò East 31st Street ant Dezyèm ak Twazyèm Aveny — yon trase byen rafine ki gen townhouse ki bay yon sans klè rezidansyèl, malgre li se kèk moman soti nan mitan vil la. Flanke pa brownstones elegant, blòk la ofri vi prive ak cham ki ra jwenn tou pre gwo koridò Manhattan yo. Sepandan, andedan mwatye yon blòk, anviwònman an chanje san pwoblèm nan yon zòn katye vivan ki rich an sèvis.

Nan lès, Dezyèm Aveny, rezidan ak lwe jwenn aksè imedyat nan sèvis ki nesesè chak jou ki gen ladan supermakèt, kafe, estidyo fizik, ak détaillants nan katye a, osi byen ke AMC Theatres, ki angaje trafik pye nan aswè ak wikenn. De blòk lwen, NYU Langone Health sèvi kòm youn nan pi gwo enstitisyon medikal Manhattan.

Nan lwès, Twazyèm Aveny ofri yon melanj vivan nan restoran ki gen sèvis, boutik boutik, sèvis espesyalize, swen ijans veteriner ak baz katye ki bay espas sa a yon atmosfè dinamik.

Every house has a story, but this houses at 223–225 East 31st Street had quite a storied past.
Let’s focus on the offering for now.
In Murray Hill, this property presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to acquire a double wide townhouse, a combination of 2 townhouses with one certificate of occupancy. The house spans an impressive 33 feet wide by 98 feet deep. Encompassing approximately 9,071 square feet, this 4 story mixed-use property offers scale, flexibility, and distinction rarely found in Manhattan. The property offers an additional buildable FAR of 2216 sq. ft.
223-225 East 31st Street are 2 of 4 identical townhouses built in a row from 221 through 227 East 31st Street. They were built around 1858 in the Anglo-Italianate style and uncharacteristic of these houses but in the area, these houses were built with Ornate Cast iron Lintels above all the windows with French inspired backets and keystones. While some sources list the construction date as 1901, historical records indicate they were originally completed in the late 1850s. The original architect for the row is not explicitly named in common historical records, which was typical for mid-century speculative housing. We are in the process of searching for more historical records.
Commercial Space (First & Second Floors + Basement)
The ground level features a welcoming reception area (easily reconfigured to suit a variety of uses), a kitchen, two half bathrooms, one on-site parking garage space, and three private offices. Toward the rear, a studio space that was built of the garden of both houses at a dramatic 23 Ft tall 42 ft long by 30 ft wide, with a retractable sunroof creates a striking architectural focal point. This unique volume has been featured in the HBO series And Just Like That..., the continuation of Sex and the City. What we do know from historical records was this building was purchased by the first Chinese Presbyterian Church in New York and was also a school and the massive structure was likely their gymnasium.
The commercial portion also offers direct access to a full-lot basement, providing substantial additional storage or functional space.
The Second Floor includes one full bathroom and multiple vacant rooms with hardwood floors and floor to ceiling multipaned windows overlooking East 31st Street, allowing for abundant natural light throughout.
Third Floor at approximately 1897 sq ft., is a residential apartment that spans the entire width and length of the floor. A generous floorplan consisting of 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a large living dining area and a sunroom that leads to a large private terrace, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience.
Fourth Floor at approxamtely 1500 sq ft. is currently a 2 bedroom 2 bath apt with an oversized living room w skylight and a cooks size kitchen.
This is an exceptional opportunity for developers, investors, end-users, or live-work buyers seeking scale, income potential, and architectural character in a prime Manhattan location.
