Perfectly situated in the center of Sniffen Court Mews and included on the National Register of Historic Places, this rare jewel box is surrounded by just 8 elegant and quant historic carriage houses, each with its own distinctive preserved facade and scale. Rarely does a home of this caliber come to market with the ability to transport you to another world from the center of Manhattan. A unique and turn-key home for a buyer seeking a very private and beautiful setting. The Great Room with voluminous 15" ceilings is a WOW and punctuated by a handsome lilac stone fireplace and gorgeous double-wide window offering eye-catching leafy views onto the mews. A clerestory window above the living space running the full width of the house invites in beautiful afternoon light and golden sunsets. Beyond the Great Room, an intimate library is lined with custom floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. An inviting dining room at the rear offers a cozy contrast to the larger living spaces of the home. The windowed kitchen off the dining room includes stainless steel countertops and custom cabinetry. An attractive powder room off the library and handsome Oak Herringbone flooring complete the main level of the home. A beautiful staircase with a curved banister overlooking the Great Room brings you to the second level guest bedroom with a contemporary marble bath en-suite. The expansive third floor primary bedroom suite includes a separate sitting room and home office with a charming row of windows over the mews. This level includes a luxuriously appointed primary marble bathroom with tub and vast stall shower and a perfect kitchenette/morning bar with a windowed banquette. Up a short flight of stairs, a very comfortable and sun-drenched rooftop deck includes ample space for dining and entertaining surrounded by lush potted landscaping and perimeter hedges. The renovation includes central air-conditioning, custom lighting and window treatments. Sniffen Court is an intimate collection of just 10 original historic carriage houses along a private gated mews built by John Sniffen in the Romanesque Revival style between 1863 and 1864. Originally built as horse stables, the houses were converted to homes in the early part of the 20th century down the street from the JP Morgan Library and now number just 6 homes. Residents enjoy the privacy offered by its distinctive scale. The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated Sniffen Court as a historic district in 1966 and the mews were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Annual Resident Dues cover maintenance of the mews - $1,800/year.
