From 18 Gramercy Park:

For a property of this significance to become available in so exclusive a neighborhood, within a world capital city, is a rare event indeed.

Overlooking the square inspired by the private parks of Regency-era London, 18 Gramercy Park South occupies four of the original 66 building lots laid out by developer Samuel Ruggles in 1831. The 17-story Georgian structure is situated on the corner of Irving Place, which allows for its attractive fenestration and high window to floor area ratio. Constructed in 1927, the building soars above its low-rise neighbors. But for the second floor and penthouse, each floor conforms to a similar configuration. Further distinguishing this prized property are four terraces on the penthouse level and the chamfered facade of the building, yielding 12 exposures.

The historic district of Gramercy Park is one of New York City’s most sought-after neighborhoods. It is immediately accessible to Midtown Manhattan, Greenwich Village and the chic shopping districts of Chelsea and Soho, yet it remains a secluded oasis characterized by traditional brownstone and brick residential buildings. Residents of this “keyholder” property are among the exclusive few with access to the interior gardens of the only remaining private park in New York City.
