All open houses are BY APPOINTMENT only

327 East 18th Street is a 20-foot-wide townhouse on one of Gramercy's most charming, architecturally interesting blocks. Bright, open, and loft-like throughout, the house blends a contemporary aesthetic with warm townhouse character, centered around a spectacular landscaped garden and expansive entertaining spaces.

Entered through a classic stoop, the parlor floor opens into an impressive full-width living room with soaring, 12-foot ceilings, oversized windows, and exceptional scale. Bright and airy throughout, the space has a distinctly loft-like feel while still maintaining the warmth of townhouse living. A separate lounge or music area creates flexibility for entertaining, media, or work-from-home use, while a front bedroom or office and powder room complete the level.

Below, the garden level is designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living. A spacious dining room sits at the front of the home, leading into a sleek open kitchen with center island and direct sightlines through the entire floor. At the rear, an oversized den and living area is framed by dramatic floor-to-ceiling glass overlooking the beautifully landscaped 20-foot-wide garden, creating incredible natural light and an indoor-outdoor connection rarely found in townhouse living. A powder room completes the floor.

The third floor is dedicated to the primary suite. The oversized rear-facing bedroom overlooks the gardens below and is complemented by a large dressing room, multiple closets, and a bath. At the front of the floor is a substantial office or additional bedroom, ideal as a private study, nursery, or creative workspace.

The fourth floor features three bedrooms, flooded with natural light, along with multiple closets and two baths, of which one is en-suite for the oversized bedroom in the back. Skylights above bring even more light into the upper level, continuing the home's bright and open atmosphere.

Structural improvements completed during that renovation include steel beam installations and substantial infrastructure upgrades, helping create the expansive entertaining spaces and seamless flow found throughout the home.
