Property Description for 167 68th Street, 2-A

No detail has been overlooked in the creation of this massive and furnished one bedroom, two bathroom home at the Abbey in historic Gramercy Park.

Built in 1888 as the Parish House of the St. George Church, The Abbey has earned a place in history as a New York City Landmark. Just outside your door, you'll find peaceful and quiet East 16th Street and Stuyvesant Square Park, and plenty of intriguing architecture. Back inside, a masterful renovation with clean lines and modern conveniences, such as central air conditioning and in-unit washer dryer, enjoys a playful juxtaposition with original stained-glass windows and The Abbey's history.

The expansive chef's kitchen features top of the line Miele appliances, custom cabinetry, and under counter washer/dryer and quartz countertops. The central island is perfect for entertaining with an induction cooktop, downdraft vent, and seating for four. A dining area for eight is opposite for those more intimate or formal occasions. Incredible natural light wraps around the gracious living room with spectacular original stained-glass windows offering views of St. George Church and Stuyvesant Square Park to the East and plenty of sun throughout the day from the South.

The primary suite is tucked away on the opposite side of the home for maximum privacy. The suite boasts multiple closets and an ensuite bathroom outfitted with radiant floor heating, Bella Carrara marble floors and a custom vanity with inset lighting and hidden Bluetooth speakers.

This boutique, prewar, full-service condominium consists of only 31 residences. The 1888 Romanesque Revival-style building was constructed by esteemed architect Leopold Eidlitz and while the historical character and integrity of the building has been maintained throughout the years, residents enjoy modern conveniences and services thanks to The Abbey's 24/7 attended lobby, porter and live-in super. The Abbey is situated on a quiet, tree-lined block with no through traffic in the charming Stuyvesant Square Historic District across the street from the notable Friends Seminary and Meeting House and is near both Gramercy Park and Union Square, providing access to top-rated dining, shopping, and entertainment options, not to mention Stuyvesant Square Park. In 1836, Peter Gerard Stuyvesant and his wife Helen Rutherfurd reserved four acres of the family farm and sold it for five dollars to the City of New York to create the park we know today. Stuyvesant Square Park is a historic urban greenspace featuring mature trees, flowing plants, walking paths, statues, a central fountain, and a cast iron fence dating back to 1847. This is truly a one-of-a-kind home in one of New York's most historic buildings and neighborhoods. Available March 1.

Bay Ridge | Brooklyn

Lush front yards and trimmed hedges are pretty common in Bay Ridge.

Quick Profile

Bay Ridge is an old-world neighborhood neatly tucked into the southwest corner of Brooklyn within the shadows of the Verrazano Bridge. The neighborhood is encircled by the Belt Parkway along the shore line and the Gowanus Expressway inland.

Bay Ridge, long known for its generational pull, has historically been home to a diverse number of ethnic groups. While the area is flush with people of Irish, Italian and Greek descent, these ethnic communities have been joined by larger numbers of new groups, including people with Russian, Polish, Asian and Middle Eastern backgrounds. The Arab American community today in Bay Ridge represents the largest concentration of Arab Americans in New York City.

For many years, Bay Ridge and its waterside location, would attract the affluent. But most of the mansions that once lined Shore Road are long gone and have been replaced by six-story apartment buildings.  

Aside from the low-rise apartment buildings, the neighborhood pretty much consists of one and two-family homes. Lush front yards and trimmed hedges are pretty common here.  

Current zoning and limitations on building heights restrict any out of the norm development. At present, the future beholds small development on some of the commercial strips and teardowns of older homes for smaller residential projects.
