Property Details

Live the life at 17th and Irving between Gramercy Park and Union Square in one of New York's most iconic apartments, once the living room of Elsie de Wolfe, the famous early 20th century designer and bon-vivant. 400 square feet/ 38 square meters. L-shaped living space, perfect for two. Charming and old but very clean with fresh paint, good carpet, and fine linens. 1929 golden-era Knabe Grand piano. Stearns and Foster mattress with pillow top, down pillows, cotton sheets, down comforter. Remote-controlled blackout shades for sleeping late. Decent hanging space. Well heated in winter with fresh air through the French doors leading to the balcony overlooking Irving Place. Charming scenery: street lamps, slow-moving traffic, bicyclists and passersby. It's like living in Washington Irving's 19th century living room since, at least according to the plaque on the house, it was! Note for those who need complete quiet: car traffic isn't bad since Irving Pace is a narrow Village-like street but trucks can be a bit noisy sometimes. Laundromat and Wash-and-fold services a block away. Virtual electronic doorman for visitors and deliveries.
