The home has been carefully rehabilitated to preserve its original character, including wide-plank floors, fireplaces, and preserved millwork throughout. While you have all the amazing character and charming detail inside, outside you step into a gloriously large garden, 70-ft deep, giving you your own oasis in New York City. With a storied history and many notable inhabitants over the years, including Lincoln Kirstein founder of the New York City Ballet, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a piece of NYC history and to add your own chapter to its story. Garden Floor A front entry hall leads to a spacious updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a large dining area. The kitchen opens directly to a private, full-canopy garden with mature trees, lush landscaping, and a working fountain, creating a peaceful Midtown retreat. Ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining, or relaxation, the 1,250-sq-ft bi-level garden also offers significant expansion potential. And of course, abundant room to roam for your happy dogs. Parlour Floor The formal stoop entrance opens to your main living space with 10-ft ceilings in a generously proportioned living room that flows into a rear library and study which is lined with built-in bookshelves overlooking the garden. The space is brightened by large window exposures and retains original architectural details including functional shutters, ornate carved wood mantels, exposed brick, and fireplaces. A powder room with a crystal chandelier completes the level. Third Floor Two well-proportioned bedrooms are bright and airy, including a front bedroom with a bonus room that functions as a large walk-in closet, nursery, or private study, adding flexible use for a variety of needs. The bedroom in the rear has great views into the lush garden and its own decorative fireplace. A windowed marble bathroom with double pedestal sinks and soaking tub completes the level. Fourth Floor The entire top floor is dedicated to a gracious primary retreat, entered through a skylit landing that brings in abundant light. The full primary bedroom features arched alcove windows and original exposed brick detailing, creating warmth and character throughout. Abundant built-in storage and multiple closets provide exceptional practicality, while the en-suite bath with double pedestal sinks and original tin ceiling offers a quiet sense of luxury. A flexible rear room serves equally well as a walk-in dressing room, private office, or sitting area. Cellar The cellar provides additional storage and utility space, along with laundry facilities, extra refrigeration, a cedar closet, and direct stair access to the garden. *Select photos have been digitally staged. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Single Family Residence - **Beds**: 3 - **Total Baths**: 3 - **Rooms**: 8 - **Sqft**: 2,775 sqft - **Stories**: 4 - **Year Built**: 1866 - **Price per Sqft**: $1,405 - **Monthly Taxes**: $3,292 / mo - **Listed On**: Jun 8, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 102 Days ### Residence Features - Central Air - Common Area - Garden - Private Outdoor Space Under 60 Sqft ## Estimated Monthly Payment **$23,012 / month**, assuming a 20% down payment ($780,000), a 6.5% interest rate and a 30-year term.

We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one. Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls. Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 1013450047. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
