119 East 10th Street, 1/2

This stunning townhouse duplex occupies the parlor and second floors of an extra-wide 19th century mansion. Ascend the original stoop to a truly grand entertaining suite unified by 11.5 foot ceilings and compelling prewar details. The banquet-sized dining room adjoins the generous living room with immense windows facing the landmarked street. Pocket doors allow for privacy, and each room is warmed by an immense wood-burning fireplace. The eat-in kitchen occupies a wide porch that has been enclosed with a wall of casement windows to showcase the verdant garden beyond. The cooking area is just as impressive, outfitted with top of the line appliances including a Viking stove. The private balcony offers plenty of room for dining al fresco, overlooking the picturesque fountain and paths winding through the 125 foot long communal garden shared by the cooperative. Throughout this classic townhouse residence, rooms are of a grand scale, with original wide plank floors, wooden shutters, pocket doors, high ceilings on both floors, and a total of four wood-burning fireplaces. Modern conveniences include central air conditioning and a private laundry room. Currently configured as two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and an office, this space could potentially accommodate a third bath.

This Greek Revival townhouse is situated on a prime East Village block in the center of the St. Mark's Historic District, just down the block from historic St. Mark's Church. The house was originally built as a single-family mansion in 1845, and has now joined several neighboring 19th century townhouses as part of an exclusive, financially sound cooperative. This is a non-smoking co-op; pets are more than welcome.
