Napakaganda at pambihirang two-bedroom na sumasakop sa buong palapag, na matatagpuan sa isang 1862, 25 talampakang lapad na brownstone na may elevator, sa isang luntiang bloke na hitik sa kasaysayan, sa tapat ng Morgan Library at limang bloke lamang mula sa Grand Central.

Sa loob ng apartment 4FR sa 23 East 37th Street, matutuklasan ninyo ang mararangyang maluluwang na kuwarto, mga kisameng labing-isang talampakan ang taas, dalawang orihinal na fireplace na may mga marmol na mantel, at pambihirang dami ng mga detalyeng pangkasaysayan na maingat na naibalik.

Dati itong dalawang magkahiwalay na apartment. Nagsagawa ang kasalukuyang mga may-ari ng malawakang pagsasaayos upang lumikha ng isang elegante, kaaya-aya, at komportableng tahanan—na maingat na pinanatili sa bawat hakbang ang makasaysayang karakter nito, habang banayad na isinasama ang mahahalagang pangangailangan para sa pamumuhay sa ika-21 siglo.

Sasalubungin kayo ng isang maluwang na foyer na may sarili nitong walk-in closet at magtatakda ng tono ng buong tahanan. Malaki at maaliwalas ang living room, na may orihinal na marmol na fireplace, maseselang detalyeng mayaman sa karakter, at mga bintanang nakaharap sa timog na tanaw ang 37th Street. Kapag tumingin kayo sa kabilang kalye, makikita ninyo ang pinakamatandang bahagi ng Morgan Library, at kapag tumingala kayo—ang Empire State Building. Hindi ninyo kailanman makikita ang heating at air conditioning dahil nakatago ang mga ito sa ilalim ng mga bintana. Mayroon ding orihinal na mga kahoy na shutter ang mga bintana na maingat na nawawala sa loob ng mga frame kapag hindi ginagamit.

Maluwag din ang primary bedroom, na may sarili nitong marmol na fireplace—nagbibigay ng pakiramdam ng isang marangyang suite sa pinakamataas na uri ng hotel. Mayroon itong dressing room na may bintana, modernong banyo na may mga high-end na Dornbracht fixture at mga sahig na may radiant heating, pati na rin washer at dryer. Tanaw ang mga hardin ng mga townhouse sa likuran, at napakatahimik ng primary bedroom.

Ipinapakita ng kusina ang pinakamainam na pagsasama ng lahat ng katangian sa pagsasaayos—ang magagandang custom na cabinetry ay sumasalamin sa makasaysayang karakter ng lugar, habang itinatago ang Miele dishwasher at Sub-Zero refrigerator at tampok naman ang Viking range at hood.

Sa tabi ng kusina ay ang ikalawang kumpletong banyo, na nilagyan din ng mga high-end na Dornbracht fixture. Sa tabi ng living room ay ang ikalawang bedroom na may dalawang malalaking closet.

Hitik sa kasaysayan ang bloke at ang gusali. Ang #23 ay isa sa tatlong malalaking Italianate brownstone na itinayo sa pagitan ng 1860 at 1862 ng tagapagtayong si David Robins, noong nagsisimula pa lamang lumipat sa Murray Hill ang mga prominente at mayayamang taga-New York. Noong panahong iyon, hindi pa ganap na tapos ang Central Park, at ang tanging bahagi ng Fourth Avenue na natakpan at pinalitan ng pangalang Park Avenue ay ang bahaging nasa pagitan ng 33rd at 40th Street. Sa dulo ng bloke na nasa Madison Avenue ay matatagpuan ang pinakamatandang bahagi ng Morgan Library, na itinayo noong 1853, at ang Beaux-Arts De Lamar Mansion, na itinayo noong 1905 at isa na ngayong konsulado. Sa dulo naman ng bloke na nasa Park Avenue, sa lupang pinagsama-sama ng anak ni J.P. Morgan na si Jack, matatagpuan ang Union League Club.

Madarama ninyo ang mayamang kasaysayang ito paglapit ninyo sa #23. Sa labas, isa itong kahanga-hangang gusaling 25 talampakan ang lapad at limang palapag ang taas. Sa loob, may naibalik na Otis elevator—isang malugod at di-inaasahang kaginhawaan sa isang townhouse mula ika-19 na siglo—ngunit hindi dapat palampasin ang hagdanan, na may napakagandang naibalik na mga handrail at gawaing kahoy, at sinisikatan ng liwanag mula sa skylight sa itaas. Habang umaakyat kayo, mararamdaman ninyong bumabalik kayo sa nakaraan.

Siyempre, hindi maaaring maliitin ang pambihirang kaginhawaan ng lokasyon. Limang bloke lamang ito mula sa Grand Central at One Vanderbilt, wala pang isang milya mula sa Theater District, at napapaligiran ng napakaraming restaurant at iba pang pasilidad na madaling marating—sa halos anumang direksiyon. Mahirap makahanap ng mas magandang lokasyon para tamasahin ang New York.

Ang buwanang maintenance para sa 4FR ay $3,268.08, kasama na ang mga buwis.

Ang 23 East 37th Street ay isang co-op na nagpapahintulot ng pied-à-terre. May flip tax na 2% na sasagutin ng mamimili. Tandaan din na bukod sa washer at dryer sa unit, lahat ng residente ng 23 East 37th ay may access sa washer at dryer, pati na sa common storage, sa basement level.

Stunning and rare floor-through two bedroom in an 1862, 25' elevator brownstone, on a leafy and history-rich block across from the Morgan Library, only five blocks from Grand Central.
Inside apartment 4FR at 23 East 37th Street, you'll find luxuriously spacious rooms, eleven-foot ceilings, two original fireplaces with marble mantels, and an extraordinary abundance of meticulously restored historic details.
Previously two separate apartments, the present owners undertook extensive renovations to create a gracious, inviting and comfortable home - taking care at every step to honor the historic feel, while gently incorporating the essentials for 21st century living.
A generous foyer, with its own walk-in closet, welcomes you and sets the tone. The living room is amply scaled, with an original marble fireplace, rich detail, and south-facing windows overlooking 37th Street. If you look across the street, you'll see the oldest section of the Morgan Library, and if you look up - the Empire State Building. You'll never see the heating and AC - but they're tucked away under the windows. The windows even have original wooden shutters that disappear discreetly into the window frames when not in use.
The primary bedroom is also generously scaled, with its own marble fireplace - giving off the feel of a top end luxury hotel suite, with a windowed dressing room, a modern bath with top-end Dornbracht fixtures and radiant heated floors - and a washer and dryer. Overlooking rear townhouse gardens, the primary bedroom is pindrop quiet.
The kitchen illustrates the best-of-all-worlds approach of the renovation - fine custom cabinetry reflects the historic feel of the place, which concealing a Miele dishwasher and Sub Zero Fridge, and showcasing a Viking range and hood.
Off the kitchen is a second full bathroom, also equipped with top-end Dornbracht fixtures. Off the living room is second bedroom with two large closets.
Both the block and the building are steeped in history. #23 was one of three large, Italianate brownstones completed between 1860 and 1862 by the builder David Robins, at a time when prominent and wealthy New Yorkers were just beginning to move to Murray Hill. At the time, Central Park wasn't yet fully complete, and the only stretch of Fourth Avenue that had been covered over and renamed Park Avenue was the stretch between 33rd and 40th Street. On the Madison Avenue end of the block is the oldest part of the Morgan Library, dating to 1853, and the Beaux Arts De Lamar Mansion, dating to 1905, now a Consulate. At the Park Avenue end of the block, on a site assembled by J.P Morgan's son Jack, stands the Union League Club.
You'll sense this rich history when you approach #23. Outside, it’s an imposing 25’ wide, and five stories high. Inside, there's a restored Otis elevator, a welcome and unexpected convenience in as 19th century townhouse - but the stairway is a gem not to be missed, with beautifully restored banisters and woodwork, and sunlight streaming in from a skylight above. As you ascend, you'll feel like you're stepping back in time.
Of course, we cannot understate the extraordinary convenience of the location. Just 5 blocks from Grand Central and One Vanderbilt, less than a mile from the Theater District, and with countless restaurants and other resources within easy reach - in almost any direction - it would be hard to find a better location to enjoy New York.
Monthly maintenance for 4FR is $3,268.08, which includes taxes.
