Own a piece of NYC history on a quintessential tree-lined Gramercy street. "The Little House" located at 78 Irving, is a single-family carriage house built in the mid-1800s. Once home to various notable families and companies throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, the 2,423 square foot home just south of Gramercy Park has been identified as one of only three renovated carriage houses on the historical "block beautiful." While offering the privacy of a townhouse, this home has the convenience of white glove service including a full time doorman and resident manager.
This Flemish-inspired home has been completely renovated to appeal to modern senses. Completely turn-key, the Carriage House includes 3-bedrooms, 2.5-bathrooms and a flexible bonus room. Upon private entry, dual skylights in both the foyer and in the adjacent kitchen wash the home with spectacular light. The opulent kitchen, appointed with top-notch appliances, holds its own under the drama of vaulted 20-foot ceilings and overlooks the living room outfitted with a working fireplace. The apartment features include solid oak chevron floors and exposed brick.
The spacious primary bedroom includes a custom Poliform walk in dressing room and a windowed ensuite bathroom equipped with heated marble floors, dual sinks, standalone steam shower and a separate soaking tub. The second bedroom has charming views of the beautiful tree-lined street from a lovely bay window.
The lower level of the home has a large media/rec room with yet another working fireplace and a bonus room, perfect for an office or additional sleeping area with a powder room. This level is currently outfitted as a gym equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and a washer/dryer. 78 Irving is a boutique condominium with 24/7 concierge services, a live-in resident manager and only six units. Located in the heart of the famed Gramercy Park neighborhood, you are just moments away from the best dining, shopping, and entertainment Manhattan has to offer.
