About

The Abbey Condominium, located at 205 East 16th Street between Third Avenue and Rutherford Place, is a distinctive, historical landmark, consisting of 31 residences. Constructed in 1888 by the esteemed architect Leopold Eidlitz, the Romanesque Revival-style building originally functioned as a parish house for St. George’s Church next door. Converted to condos in 2005, many of the homes in The Abbey boast unique design elements, including some with stained glass windows, exposed beams and soaring ceiling heights.

Converted to condos in 2005, many of the homes in The Abbey boast unique design elements, including some with stained glass windows, exposed beams and soaring ceiling heights. While the historical character and integrity of the building is maintained through these details, residents enjoy modern conveniences such as central air conditioning, in-unit washer/dryers and high-end appliances and finishes. The full-service condo’s staff consists of a 24/7 doorman, porter and live-in super.

205 East 16th Street is situated on a quiet, tree-lined block with no through traffic in the charming Stuyvesant Square Historic District across the street from the notable Friends Seminary and Meeting House. The building is just moments away from the historic four acre Stuyvesant Square Park, which boasts extraordinary old trees and plantings, a dog park, beautiful fountains, bluestone sidewalks and the original cast iron fence from 1847. The Abbey is in close proximity to both Gramercy Park and Union Square, thereby providing several top-rated dining, shopping and entertainment options. It is also extremely accessible to several subway and bus lines.
