Rare Garden Facing Gramercy 3 Bed 2 Bath

Prewar charm and elegant updates abound in this spacious and sunny three-bedroom, two-bathroom Gramercy co-op filled with the classic and modern elements that capture the essence of New York City living.
Situated on the 3rd floor, this beautifully combined residence greets you with a private foyer leading to 9.5-foot-tall beamed ceilings, gorgeous hardwood floors and floor to ceiling oversized casement wood windows framing unobstructed views of back gardens. The apartment has southern, eastern and western exposures. Relax in front of the wood-burning fireplace in the large living room, or host lavish gatherings in the corner dining room also clad with corner wooden casement windows facing trees. The contemporary kitchen features glass-front and wood cabinetry and high-end appliances, including a Miele gas cooktop, oven and dishwasher, Sub-zero refrigerator and two pantries.
The private foyer with custom bird's eye maple cabinetry and large walk-in guest closet, separate the primary suite from the rest of the residence. Wake up to sunrise views in the massive east-facing bedroom featuring an office area and a beaty station including a large walk in closet. A swoon-worthy dressing area with endless custom lead to private bathroom with a jetted tub which completes the tranquil haven.
Two oversized secondary corner bedrooms are tucked down a private hallway. Each offers bright double exposures, excellent closets, built-in cabinetry and easy access to an updated, windowed bathroom with a tub/shower and double vanity. Washer/Dryer hot and cold water lines are available off the second bathroom.

242 East 19th Street is a handsome well-run Art Deco building trimmed in brick and limestone. Residents of the full-service cooperative enjoy attentive 24-hour doorman/elevator service, a modern laundry room, bike and resident storage (for a fee), a garden and a glorious landscaped roof deck with panoramic views. Maintenance includes electricity and gas. Pets, co-purchases, guarantors and parents buying for children permitted with board approval. Sorry, no pieds-à-terre.
