Description

19 West 12th Street is a beautiful red brick townhouse in the heart of the Gold Coast just steps away from Fifth Avenue. The 5-story single-family residence was constructed in the Late Greek Revival style in 1845, which is an imposing 25 feet wide and 52 feet deep on a 106 foot lot. It has been impeccably renovated with meticulous attention to detail keeping traditional and contemporary features in perfect harmony.
From the stoop, one enters the parlor floor which boasts almost 13 foot ceilings (12ft9in) in a gracious living room, bar area and a formal dining room opening on to a terrace that overlooks a luscious garden. It is a perfectly gracious space, ideal for entertaining. The living room receives abundant sunlight from its two floor to ceiling windows. Both the living room and dining room have EcoSmart ventless fireplaces. There is a powder room with a window overlooking the garden.
When entering from the garden level, there is a caretaker’s apartment with kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. Floor to ceiling closets line the hall leading into a tremendous kitchen outfitted for a professional chef, featuring top-of-the-line appliances-two Miele ovens, two dishwashers, warming drawers, a Subzero refrigerator/freezer, wine cooler and professional stove. There is enough room to generously seat 16 before entering the sun-filled garden.
The third floor has a bedroom with en-suite bathroom and a sitting area with study. The fourth floor is comprised of two elegant bedrooms each with an ensuite bathroom and a powder room in the hall.
On the fifth floor is a stunning master suite. The bedroom has a skylight that extends the entire 25 feet of the townhouse letting in copious amounts of sunlight. The master bathroom is unequivocally one of the most sensational in the city. It is 450 square feet of Italian Calacatta marble spanning the width of the townhouse with a fireplace, iron cast bathtub, freestanding shower….. No detail has been spared in this bathroom that it truly a work of art. Completing the master suite is a spacious dressing room with skylight.
Enjoy some of the most spectacular views of New York City from the planted rooftop garden.
