Property Description for 218 East 31st Street, 1
Welcome to 218 East 31st Street, a classic New York brownstone in Kips Bay. The unmissable, red brick facade features a high stoop and wrought iron gate and is further characterized by its large windows and large forecourt.
The pinnacle of this building is the majestic owner's duplex. Enter in and you'll be immediately struck by the high ceilings and sunlight pouring in.
Walk straight back through the large living room and gaze out onto your private backyard, perfect for hosting, al fresco dining, or just laying back with a good book and a refreshing cocktail.
The bedrooms are each on separate floors, giving complete privacy to the occupants of each. Each bedroom is more than sufficiently large to accommodate a king-sized bed plus additional furniture, with the garden-level bedroom also featuring a walk-in closet.
As you continue past you'll enter into the eat-in kitchen, which has been finished in a way that hybridizes a classic, country-style and the romance of the prewar buildings New Yorkers love. Classic white cabinetry, exposed brick flanking the oven, and a gorgeous tiled floor. The stone that makes up the countertops continues to create a striking backsplash.
After you finish cooking, step outside into your private backyard. where you can tend to your plants or simply enjoy the fact that you have that rarest of gems: your very own, undisturbed, massive outdoor space.
We look forward to welcoming you into this incredible unit. Contact today for a showing!

Quick Profile
If you take a walk through Kips Bay, which is loosely defined as the area between 23rd street and 34th street and the East River to almost Lexington, you’ll quickly learn it's a hodgepodge of sorts and not as well defined as other neighborhoods in New York City. Some New Yorkers say Kips Bay has an identity crisis because 1st, 2nd, and 3rd avenues are distinctly different from one another as you traverse them. Despite the perceived lack of neighborhood vibe there are others that appreciate its affordability and convenience.
First Avenue is dominated by hospitals and hospital buildings such as NYU Medical Center and Bellevue Hospital to name a few. Second Avenue is a mosaic of convenience stores, fast food joints and nondescript brick buildings. Third Avenue is saturated with small bars and gastropubs and the twenty somethings that patronize them.
No judgement against Kips Bay here. It’s a great neighborhood that is just as much a part of New York City as any other neighborhood. Kips Bay It’s bordered by Murray Hill to the North, Stuyvesant Town and Gramercy Park to the South, and Rose Hill to the West. The neighborhood is partly defined by newer high-rise apartments, brick rowhouses, and former tenement buildings.
