East, west, and southern exposures provide light throughout the day. The parlor floor overlooks Grace Church and the Manhattan Skyline and New York Harbor are visible after leaf-fall.   A grand single-family in 1866, the home's period sensibility has been upheld with care and attention for the facade, ironwork, double door entry, a reconstructed original staircase, and 6 wood-burning fireplaces restored by the legendary Jos. A. Walas.   Converted in 1969 to a 3-family, it has been occupied since 1975 as a two family.   The garden apartment rental is vacant.   There are a total of 12 rooms, 7 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and a full cellar beneath. Outdoor space includes a charming, private courtyard garden and a terrace above the extension. Unobstructed panoramic views from the roof make it ideal for a future roof deck. Please reach out with questions and to schedule a visit.
