Napakabihirang matagpuan sa hinahangad na lokasyong ito sa Gramercy ang malawak na duplex penthouse na ito na may limang silid-tulugan at lima’t kalahating banyo. Punô ito ng liwanag buong maghapon at iniaalok sa perpektong kondisyong handa nang tirhan, na may pinakamahuhusay na finishing sa buong bahay. Perpektong matatagpuan sa gitna ng downtown Manhattan, ngunit madaling mapupuntahan ang midtown at iba pang lugar, ang 57 Irving Place ay isang boutique, full-service condominium na may siyam na unit lamang. May 4,826 square feet ng panloob na espasyo, bukod pa sa tatlong outdoor terrace na may kabuuang 528 square feet, kaya ang tahanang ito ay may perpektong ayos para sa pamumuhay at pagtanggap ng mga bisita sa loob at labas ng bahay.

Bumubukas ang elevator na may pribadong susi patungo sa isang malawak na great room na hitik sa sikat ng araw, na may 100 linear feet ng mga bintanang mula sahig hanggang kisame na nakaharap sa silangan at kanluran, na nagbabalangkas sa mga tanawin ng lungsod at kalangitan. Tiyak na kahanga-hanga ang dramatikong pasukan na may dobleng taas, halos 20 talampakan ang kisame, at isang arkitektural na kahanga-hangang lumulutang na hagdanang yari sa kahoy at metal patungo sa palapag ng mga silid-tulugan sa itaas, na pinaglilingkuran din ng elevator. Dahil sa maluwag at flexible na espasyo para sa iba’t ibang ayos ng muwebles, madaling mapagkakasya sa great room ang maraming seating area, kabilang ang malaking sala, dining area, den, at bar/lounge o study. Nagtatampok ang napakagandang palapag na ito para sa pagtanggap ng mga bisita ng 10-talampakang kisame, powder room, ethanol fireplace, at malalapad na plank na sahig na yari sa kahoy. Ang terrace na nakaharap sa silangan at bahagyang nakausli mula sa gusali ay umaabot sa buong 50-talampakang lapad ng great room, at may sapat na espasyo para sa lounge seating at dining area, pati na rin built-in na Viking grill. Ang mas maliit na terrace sa kanlurang bahagi ng great room, na may maayos na landscaping, ay may tanawin ng Union Square Park.

Sa timog-silangang sulok ng great room matatagpuan ang elegante at modernong kusina ng chef, na nagtatampok ng mga kasangkapang hindi kinakalawang na asero, kabilang ang refrigerator na Gaggenau, 48-pulgadang Thermador cooktop, dalawang Gaggenau oven, dalawang Miele dishwasher, Viking wine refrigerator, at malawak na custom cabinetry kabilang ang dalawang pull-out pantry at isang saradong coffee station/appliance garage. Nagbibigay ang napakalaking isla ng sapat na counter space para sa paghahanda ng pagkain, pati na rin ng counter seating para sa anim na tao. Maginhawang matatagpuan sa tabi ng kusina ang isang vestibule na may pribadong lagusan para sa basura.

Ang ikalimang silid-tulugan, kasama ang sarili nitong banyo, ang kumukumpleto sa ibabang palapag. Kasalukuyan itong ginagamit bilang aklatan/study, ngunit maaari rin itong maging perpektong suite para sa bisita o staff.

Ang eleganteng hagdang nasa gitna ang humahantong sa pribadong bahagi ng tahanan, kung saan matatagpuan ang apat na silid-tulugan na lahat ay may sariling banyo. Nagtatampok ang pangunahing suite sa sulok ng napakalaking silid-tulugan na may mga pader na Venetian plaster at kisameng may panel na bleached oak wood, dalawang maluluwang na walk-in closet na may malawak na custom-fitted cabinetry, at terrace sa sulok na may landscaping at tanawin patungong kanluran, hanggang Union Square. Hitik sa natural na liwanag ang marangyang banyong nakakabit sa suite dahil sa malaking sliding glass wall na bumubukas patungo sa pribadong terrace. Nagtatampok ito ng walk-in double rain-head shower, freestanding soaking tub, steam room na binalutan ng marmol at teak, at double-sink vanity na may malawak na storage. Sa dulo ng pasilyo ay tatlo pang silid-tulugan, bawat isa ay may sariling banyo, pati na rin ang isang maluwag na laundry room.

Nagtatampok din ang magandang tahanang ito ng central air conditioning na may walong zone at ganap na automated na audio/video system, ilaw, at mga window shade na kinokontrol sa pamamagitan ng Crestron Home Automation system. Kasama sa apartment ang paglipat ng pagmamay-ari ng dalawang pribadong storage unit. Ang mas malaki sa dalawa ay may custom-built na cedar closet.
