112 East 19th Street, 11-F

Residence 11F is an extraordinary renovated three-bedroom (plus den) loft in the heart of Gramercy - on the historic “block beautiful” of 19th street between Irving Place and Park Avenue South. Located on the penultimate floor of the Ruggles House Lofts at 112 East 19th Street, this gracious home features an inviting open layout spanning approximately 1900 square feet, 10’7” ceiling heights with beamed ceilings, and 12 massive (CitiQuiet) windows throughout. Exposures to the east, north, and west boast city vistas and views onto the historic buildings in the Gramercy area.

The light-filled magnificent 24’x 22’ great room extends by two solid pocket doors with vintage mirrors to the media room/den with custom built-in cabinetry including bookshelves and a desk. A sizable open chef's kitchen offers uncompromising top-tier craftsmanship and features a Miele dishwasher, 6 burner Viking range with stainless steel hood, and an extra deep Franke stainless steel sink. Floor-to-ceiling custom two toned wood cabinetry, Carrara marble counter and backsplash, under-counter Marvel wine fridge, 42” side by side Subzero refrigerator, and a butcher block island with breakfast bar make for a perfect mix of artistic design and luxurious functionality. A chandelier hangs over the adjacent spacious dining area that separates the kitchen from the living room.

Tucked into the back of the loft is the king-sized primary suite which features western exposures, multiple built-out closets and bookshelves, and an ensuite bathroom with a glass-enclosed Waterworks steam shower, Waterworks nickel fixtures, and luxurious marble walls, countertop, and floor.

At the other end of the home are two additional adjacent bedrooms. One has a built-in full-size platform bed and desk and pretty views east over the neighboring buildings. The other faces north over 19th street. A large windowed secondary bathroom boasts an extra deep Kohler 5.5’ soaking tub with Caesarstone surround, Grohe fixtures, two separate Duravit sinks and vanities, and a wall-mounted Toto commode.

Central air conditioning with linear diffusers, a Miele washer-dryer, abundant closet space including a large separate linen closet, wide-planked walnut-stained oak flooring, and recessed lighting with Lutron switches throughout add comfort and convenience to the timeless design of this exceptional loft home. A large storage locker transfers with the sale of this loft.

Situated on the tree-lined “block beautiful” of East 19th Street, Ruggles House is a boutique twelve story, understated loft building with video intercom system and key locked elevators that lead to semi private landings with only two residences per floor. The meticulously maintained, pet-friendly building features a gorgeous recently updated marble lobby, a lovely planted roof deck with beautiful views, bicycle storage, and an attentive full-time superintendent. It is one of the very few loft buildings in the area of quiet serenity near Gramercy Park, but it is also conveniently close to the restaurants of Irving Place and Park Avenue South. (Union Square Cafe is on one corner and Caffè Panna Ice Cream the other!) All the conveniences of public transportation, and the greenmarket and shopping at Union Square are in close proximity.
