12 East 20th St. 5/6-FLR

Welcome to this one-of-a-kind penthouse duplex atop a stunning townhouse directly on Gramercy Park. Available for rent for the very first time, this sprawling 2500 square foot home has just been completely renovated and seamlessly blends unparalleled pre-war charm with modern convenience.

After stepping off the elevator directly into the apartment you will find a beautifully-bright, massive open living and dining room with dramatic 12-foot ceilings, oversized casement windows looking directly onto Gramercy Park and a working wood-burning fireplace. Just off the dining room is the brand new, gut-renovated kitchen by Bilotta that features top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances such as a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Caesarstone countertops, custom built cabinetry, a glass tile backsplash and a new washer/dryer in its own area behind the kitchen. There is also another dining area in the kitchen with a skylight that allows flowing sunlight all day long.

In the rear of the lower level of the apartment is the large, symmetrical master bedroom featuring tremendous custom closets and a stunning, gut-renovated en-suite bathroom lined with Carrera marble tile and Waterworks fixtures. Just before the stairwell leading to the upper bedrooms is yet another large room that can be used as a den, home office, media room, playroom or even a guest room/4th bedroom. The duplex home is completed by the upper floor which has two additional bedrooms separated by a full bathroom. For added ease of living there is a new multi-zone central a/c system throughout the home.

12 Gramercy Park South is a historic and intimate townhouse that blends seamlessly into this iconic neighborhood. Residents of this home receive an elusive key to Gramercy park, which is meticulously maintained and perhaps the ultimate New York City amenity.
