Listing Notes

Available for rent, this impeccably restored and turnkey Triplex in a brownstone sits on one of the best-preserved townhouse blocks in Manhattan, offering refined elegance, modern comfort, and rare private parking. The home is configured as a spacious owners triplex providing exceptional flexibility for living, working, or hosting. The parlor floor welcomes you with grand double doors, an entrance vestibule, soaring 11-foot ceilings, and beautifully preserved 19th-century details. Pocket doors open to a sun-filled living room anchored by a curved alabaster fireplace, one of several distinctive fireplaces throughout. The expansive chefs kitchen is outfitted with walnut counters, marble work surfaces, and premium appliances by Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Miele. A stunning formal dining room features quarter-sawn wood paneling, a coffered ceiling, a penny-tile hearth, and a dramatic stained-glass window. A windowed butlers pantry with powder room leads to the elevated rear terrace overlooking the gated Kings Alley. Upstairs, the serene north-facing primary bedroom includes a dressing room and an en-suite bath with custom woodwork, an oversized soaking tub, and stained-glass window. Pocket doors connect to a wet bar and a grand south-facing room with leafy views of the historic block. The top floor offers two additional bedrooms, including a north-facing suite with a windowed bath, a bright front-facing bedroom, and a spa-sized bathroom with clawfoot tub, walk-in shower, double sinks, and skylights. The garden level features generous north and south facing rooms, a kitchen, full bath, and private front entrance; ideal for additional living space, home offices, or guest accommodations. The finished basement houses mechanicals, laundry, and a large tiled recreation or storage space. Modern upgrades include three-zone central air conditioning, new wood windows with sound-dampening lamination in bedrooms, rooftop solar panels, and direct access to a private rear garage opening onto the Strivers Row carriage lane. The property offers either two private parking spaces, or one parking space plus a dedicated studio gym, providing a rare level of convenience and flexibility. The garage is also ready for electric vehicle charging. A unique opportunity to rent a classic New York brownstone. Floorplan to come.
