Whether it be for a short stay or a longer term lease, furnished or unfurnished, welcome to a world of impeccable taste and distinctive style. "The Abbey", a Landmark building, originally built in 1888 as St. George's Parish Church, has been magnificently renovated into unique Full Service Condominium residences, while preserving old world details - too many to mention - as it must be seen. This unique one-of-a kind 2 Bedroom, 2 and a half Bathroom Duplex will take your breath away the moment you open the door. Just some of the numerous details included in this spacious home are: original oversized stained glass and lead paned windows, soaring double height ceilings, meticulously laid herringbone-patterned hardwood floors with marble inlays, as well as distinctively dramatic exposed brick and stone archways throughout all angles of this home. Step up to the corner Master Bedroom suite that features immense lead paned windows, high ceilings with intricate crown moldings, and a sizeable walk-in closet. The lavishly designed travertine marble bathroom is inclusive of an oversized whirl pool soaking tub with a separate shower stall. The second bedroom upstairs, though private, is perched mezzanine level overlooking the spectacular living room with its own full marble bath. This luxuriously designed home has been furnished and decorated with only the finest finishes, complete with high end appliances to insure comfort in modern day lifestyles, while appreciating its rich architectural history. The Abbey Condominium is located on a quiet tree lined street steps from Friends Seminary, Rutherford Place and Stuyvesant Square Park, in the Gramercy Park and Union Square vicinities.
