308 East 15th Street, PARLOR

This gracious double-parlor residence encompasses almost 3500 square feet in total across one floor, with 2715 square feet interior and 741 square feet exterior space spread across TWO PRIVATE TERRACES. With over 40 feet in total width and both North and South exposures, two historic 1910 Italianate brownstones were put together to make this remarkable home possible. Step directly from Stuyvesant Park and enter through your own private entrance into a divine New York mansion, perfect for both grand entertaining and for idyllic, peaceful daily living.

Direct views of Stuyvesant Park greet you from both the living and dining rooms. The combined entertaining space features a WORKING FIREPLACE, soaring 13-foot ceilings, and over 30 feet of park-facing frontage, with four massive floor-to-ceiling double encased 36-inch-wide windows. The extra-large living room offers double depth, measuring almost 28 feet by itself. The dining room can comfortably accommodate a table with seating for ten.

Walk down a hallway, past a powder room and past several walk-in closets, to the rear of this home to discover four spacious bedrooms, three additional bathrooms, and TWO PRIVATE TERRACES. The expansive primary suite features a SECOND WORKING FIREPLACE, a large walk-in closet, direct access to one of the terraces, and enough space for a king-sized bed and a large seating area. The primary bath features a steam shower and double vanity.

In one of the other bedrooms, which the current owners use as a private sitting room and office, you find a walk-in closet, a magnificent wall of built-in bookshelves, and access to the other private terrace. One of the hall bathrooms has been converted to a Japanese-style spa, complete with deep soaking tub and steam. The terraces feature birches, Japanese maple, azaleas, hydrangeas, magnolias, and other seasonal plants. They are fully outfitted with lighting, sound, and automatic watering systems.

The separate kitchen features limestone countertops, substantial cupboard space, and a top-tier Miele appliance package, including oven, range, refrigerator, dishwasher, and IN-UNIT WASHER DRYER. The home also features central ducted forced-air heating and cooling and a state-of-the-art BluOS smart phone-controlled speaker system with speakers on both terraces, in the bedrooms, kitchen, dining and living rooms, with 11 amplifiers in total.

The design-and-build for this home was completed by Roger Hirsch of acclaimed Hirsch Corti architects. The unique double-brownstone building is a pet-friendly condominium, and the superintendent for the building lives nearby. A gardener will maintain the terrace plantings at no additional charge.
