From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

Set within one of Gramercy's most distinctive historic properties, 129 East 17th Street is an intimate five-residence apartment building designed by noted architect Napoleon LeBrun and completed in 1879. Considered Manhattan's oldest surviving intact apartment house, the building remains a remarkable example of the city's early residential architecture. This extraordinary duplex spans approximately 3,600 square feet across the third and fourth floors, offering exceptional scale, gracious proportions, and beautiful prewar character. With three exposures, high ceilings, hardwood floors, and a fireplace, the residence is filled with natural light and retains the warmth and character of townhouse living. The expansive and flexible layout includes three bedrooms, two full and two half baths, along with generously proportioned living and entertaining spaces. Additional features include three-zone central air conditioning and an in-unit washer and dryer. A rare combination of history, scale, character, and privacy in the heart of Gramercy.
