Nichée nan yon kay an ranje ki date depi 19yèm syèk la, sou youn nan blòk Gramercy ki pi pitorèsk yo, ak pye bwa sou toude bò lari a, apatman sa a ki gen yon chanm ak de nivo posede yon kalite karaktè yo pa ka fabrike: brik ekspoze, plafon an fèblan dekoratif, yon chemine an mab ki boule bwa, ansanm ak jis ase touche modèn anba lavil la pou tout cham istorik sa a pa parèt twò delika. Rockwell Group, ki renome anpil, te desine kay la; li se an menm tan yon refij amoure ak yon retrè sofistike nan vil la.

Espas salon an nan nivo prensipal la cho, entim epi byen panse, avèk eleman bati sou mezi ak yon kwizin modèn an asye pur ki gen aparèy Miele, Gaggenau ak U-Line. Anba a, chanm nan vin tounen yon retrè prive poukont li, ak pandri sou mezi, yon biwo bati sou mezi ki antoure miray la, ansanm ak yon machin lave ak sechwa Miele andedan apatman an. Twalèt ki enspire pa Japon an ka byen se pi gwo sipriz liksye apatman an, avèk yon basen tranpe an wòch rivyè ak yon douch ki imite lapli, planche ki chofe, ansanm ak ekipman Duravit ak Watermark. Chofaj ak èkondisyone nan de zòn, son antouraj Bose ak detay pèsonalize ki byen reflechi nan tout kay la fè l konfòtab menm jan li memorab.

Soti nan pati East 17th Street sa a, ki gen anpil pye bwa epi ki pwoteje kòm yon sit istorik, pi bon sa ki genyen nan anba lavil Manhattan sanble ap louvri nan tout direksyon. Gramercy Park, Stuyvesant Square ak Union Square tout toupre, ansanm ak restoran katye yo, kafe, mache ak transpò fasil. Li toupre tout bagay, men depi ou antre anndan, vil la sanble byen lwen, yon fason ki bèl anpil.

Apatman an chita nan yon koperativ entim ki aksepte bèt kay epi ki jere tèt li; li gen tou frè antretyen mansyèl ki ekstraòdinè ba, sèlman 834 dola. Pou nenpòt moun ki te janm imajine yon lavi nan yon kay an ranje klasik New York, men ki ta prefere l ak yon kwizin designer, yon basen tranpe ak machin lave/sechwa, sa a ta ka pi bon altènatif la.

Tucked inside a 19th-century townhouse on one of Gramercy's most picturesque, tree-lined blocks, this one-bedroom duplex has the kind of character that can't be manufactured: exposed brick, ornamental tin ceilings, a marble wood-burning fireplace, and just enough downtown edge to keep all that historic charm from feeling too precious. Designed by the acclaimed Rockwell Group, the home is equal parts romantic hideaway and sophisticated city retreat.

The parlor-level living space is warm, intimate, and beautifully considered, with custom built-ins and a sleek stainless-steel kitchen featuring appliances by Miele, Gaggenau and U-Line. Downstairs, the bedroom becomes its own private escape, complete with custom closets, a wraparound built-in desk and an in-unit Miele washer and dryer. The Japanese-inspired bathroom may be the apartment's most unexpected indulgence, with a river-rock soaking tub and rainfall shower, radiant heated floors, and fixtures by Duravit and Watermark. Dual-zone heating and air conditioning, Bose surround sound and thoughtful custom details throughout make the home as comfortable as it is memorable.

From this leafy, landmarked stretch of East 17th Street, the best of downtown Manhattan seems unfolds in every direction. Gramercy Park, Stuyvesant Square and Union Square are all nearby, along with neighborhood restaurants, cafés, markets and effortless transportation. It is close to everything, yet once inside, the city feels wonderfully removed.

Set within an intimate, pet-friendly, self-managed cooperative, the apartment also comes with remarkably low monthly maintenance of just $834. For anyone who has ever imagined a life in a classic New York townhouse, but would prefer it with a designer kitchen, soaking tub and washer/dryer, this might be the next best thing.
