324 West 22nd Street

324 West 22nd Street, The Isaac Phillips House, is on the market for the first time in almost 60 years. Built in 1843, this home was originally part of the Clement C. Moore estate and has only had three different owners. Located mid-block on one of the most beautiful tree-lined Chelsea streets, surrounded by rows of historic townhouses, this Greek Revival style home with a handsome brick facade is a must-see. Making a grand impression, the original high front stoop and cap-molded brownstone lintels and railings remain intact. Built 21-feet wide by 60-feet deep on a 21-foot x 99-foot lot, this townhouse spans approximately 5,100 square feet across four levels (plus basement) with 700 square feet of private outdoor space.

The result of thoughtful upgrades through various architectural periods, this home features Colonial-style window sashes, Italianate cornices, and a distinguished Italianate wooden door and enframement. A truly special detail, the front door has large acanthus-carved console brackets supporting a segmented arched door opening with a carved keystone. These beautiful doors are inlaid with glass panels to allow sunlight into the entrance hall and further enhance the beautiful facade.

In its current configuration, the owner's unit spans three floors with a total of five bedrooms, a library, three full baths, a powder room, front and backyards, and a south facing terrace off of the primary bedroom. A beautiful and wide staircase services each level of this residence. Generous ceiling heights and thoughtful details throughout add to the scale and charm of each room. The study off of the primary bedroom boasts a mural painted by the famous artist Neel Bate himself as a gift to the current owners. The additional separate two-bedroom, two-bathroom garden apartment has its own entrance and offers an area ideal for a guest suite, live/work, or the opportunity for extra income. This townhouse is an amazing opportunity to reinvent a distinguished piece of New York City's past, adding your own vision to create a townhouse masterpiece.
