Bihirang Townhouse sa Midtown na nasa ilalim ng $4MM. Ang "jewel box" na ito mula sa panahon ng Digmaang Sibil ay maingat na inalagaan at na-update. Ang four-story townhouse ay perpektong na-configure at nag-aalok ng pinakamataas na kalayaan mula sa abala ng mga kapitbahay at mga board ng coop/condo.

Sa pagpasok, mahirap hindi maramdaman ang relaks at masayang atmospera ng bahay. Pansinin din ang mga detalye: ang pinto ng harapan at ang panloob na hagdang-hagdang ay ginawa sa kamay gamit ang lumang South American mahogany na nakolekta mga 50 taon na ang nakalipas.

Ang parlor floor ay nagtatampok ng isang living room na may fireplace, dining area, at kusina kasama ang isang kamangha-manghang patio courtyard na bumabara ng liwanag at kulay sa loob. Ang modernong kusina ay may maple cabinets, granite countertops, at mga appliance ng Viking at Bosch.

Ang pangalawang palapag ay may dalawang maluluwang na silid-tulugan at isang bagong banyo na may steam shower. Ang itaas na palapag ay tahanan ng pangunahing suite na may puwang para sa isang king-sized bed. Ito rin ay may fireplace, walk-in closet, at zen-like 5-piece bath na may mga fixture ng Fantini. Ang lahat ng 3 antas ay konektado ng isang magandang hagdang-hagdang ilaw na pinapagana ng isang malaking skylight.

Sa ibaba ng parlor level ay isang English basement na may karagdagang entrance mula sa kalye, isang media room, pangatlong fireplace, powder room, laundry (na may full size washer/dryer), at isang serving pantry. Sa ibaba ng English basement ay isang malinis na cellar na may workshop, storage, at mga makinang kasama ang boiler at dalawang hot water heater.

Ang HVAC ay isang Unico high velocity system na may space-saving tubes na nagdadala ng mainit/malamig na hangin mula sa 2 mahusay na inilagay na air handlers (basement at kisame ng 2nd floor) at rooftop condensers.

Ang bahay ay matatagpuan sa isang tahimik na kalye na may mga puno at maraming malapit na pasilidad at madaling access sa transportasyon. Ang Gramercy Park, Madison Square Park, at Murray Hill ay ilang bloke lamang ang layo. Ang kapitbahayan ay may mga intimate na restaurant, mga kaakit-akit na coffee shop, H&H Bagels, Fairway, Whole Foods, at ang Trader Joe's ay nasa likod ng kanto.
