Property Description for 127 East 26th Street

JUST REDUCED TO SELL! -Entire brownstone for $3.75m. SHOWINGS BY APPT. Brownstone Exclusive in Prime Downtown/NoMad location! A beautiful turn-of-the-century entire house in Downtown Manhattan's hottest neighborhood. Currently built the existing 3,100-square-foot, two-unit home is filled with classic architectural details including high tin ceilings, original moldings, exposed brick walls and hardwood floors, all complemented by natural light streaming in via floor-to-ceiling windows. There is also a large, recently fitted backyard, an enviable space for outdoor entertaining or relaxing during the warm weather. This 4/5 bedroom 3 bath brownstone is set on a quiet block, and is in good condition; however it is not landmarked and this fixer-upper can be redeveloped to suit your needs including adding a substantial amount of square footage to this existing large home. (Some pics are virtually staged as noted) The unbeatable location between Park and Lexington Avenues is set amidst the rapidly growing NoMad neighborhood, home to many of the city's fastest-selling new developments. The best of New York living is all just around the corner, from Michelin-three-star dining at Eleven Madison Park to gourmet shopping at Eataly and the urban oasis of Madison Square Park. With a FAR of 4 yet built only to 2.14, the space potentially allows for additional square footage to be built on this extra-long 98.5-foot lot. A true candidate for 1031 Exchange and other possibilities. Why buy a condo and pay top condo prices and monthlies when you can have an entire property all to yourself at a fraction of the cost? Private showings upon request. Delivered vacant.

Kips Bay | Manhattan

Quick Profile

If you take a walk through Kips Bay, which is loosely defined as the area between 23rd street and 34th street and the East River to almost Lexington, you’ll quickly learn it's a hodgepodge of sorts and not as well defined as other neighborhoods in New York City. Some New Yorkers say Kips Bay has an identity crisis because 1st, 2nd, and 3rd avenues are distinctly different from one another as you traverse them. Despite the perceived lack of neighborhood vibe there are others that appreciate its affordability and convenience.  

First Avenue is dominated by hospitals and hospital buildings such as NYU Medical Center and Bellevue Hospital to name a few. Second Avenue is a mosaic of convenience stores, fast food joints and nondescript brick buildings. Third Avenue is saturated with small bars and gastropubs and the twenty somethings that patronize them. 

No judgement against Kips Bay here. It’s a great neighborhood that is just as much a part of New York City as any other neighborhood. Kips Bay It’s bordered by Murray Hill to the North, Stuyvesant Town and Gramercy Park to the South, and Rose Hill to the West. The neighborhood is partly defined by newer high-rise apartments, brick rowhouses, and former tenement buildings.
