242 East 19th St. #2FG

No board approval is required for this spacious and charming prewar apartment located in Gramercy Park, one of NYC’s most desirable residential areas. A combined unit, the current layout includes a living room, three bedrooms, kitchen, dining room and two baths, abundant closet space and three bright exposures. The oversized living room features a wood-burning fireplace and faces west through three large windows overlooking bucolic townhouse gardens. Sunlight streams into the adjacent dining room from southern and western views. One bedroom, originally a living room, is massively proportioned. The remaining two bedrooms are also generous, one with double exposures east and south. Prewar ceiling heights, beams, and refinished hardwood oak floors run throughout.

In need of a renovation, the apartment can be redesigned in numerous ways to include a third bathroom, open the kitchen to the living room to make for a grand loft like area, and reconfigure the bedroom wing. One such option is shown in an alternate floor plan included with this listing. Best of all, this is a sponsor unit which makes for a quick and easy transaction. Purchaser pays NYS and NYC transfer taxes.
