61 Irving Place, 8-CD

Perched atop a distinguished limestone prewar co-op on one of Gramercy's most coveted blocks, this light-filled two-bed, two-bath penthouse is a rare blend of prewar scale and true indoor-outdoor living. It offers 10-foot ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, solarium eat-in kitchen, and private planted terrace with open views of Gramercy and the famous Con Edison Clock Tower.

A gracious foyer opens to an expansive living and dining room with north, south, and east exposures. Anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, the space features custom built-ins including a desk and bookcase ideal for a home office. Sliding glass doors seamlessly connect the indoor entertaining space to the terrace.

The unique solarium eat-in kitchen is the heart of the home, sun-drenched and finished with hand-laid Italian mosaic floors, custom cabinetry with exceptional storage, and a built-in banquette. Appliances are all top-of-the-line, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Marvel wine cooler, Viking 4-burner range with grill, and Bosch dishwasher.

The south- and east-facing terrace is beautifully landscaped with an irrigation system and awning. It is a serene oasis for entertaining or quiet mornings outdoors and seldom found at this scale in the neighborhood.

The two north-facing bedrooms are privately tucked away from the living space. The primary bedroom is a tranquil retreat with custom built-ins and a spa-like en-suite bath featuring an oversized Jacuzzi tub, a separate glass walk-in shower, and a skylight. The second bedroom sits nearby, with a full bath just off the hall.

Additional features include a large laundry room with generous storage and through-wall AC.

The Gramercy is a prewar cooperative originally built as the Gramercy Exchange Building of the New York Telephone Company. Amenities include a part-time doorman, virtual intercom system, common laundry, bike room, and storage room (waitlist). Located in the heart of Gramercy, you are moments from celebrated dining destinations such as Pete's Tavern, Friend of a Farmer, Gramercy Tavern, Union Square Café, and Caffè Panna, as well as the boutiques and farmers market at nearby Union Square. Transportation is effortless with the 4, 5, 6, N, Q, R, W, and L subway lines all minutes away.
