Located on a lovely tree-lined street, one block from Gramercy Park and right next to the historic "Block Beautiful" on 19th Street, this wonderful, almost 2,000 square foot loft with 11 foot beamed ceilings and oversized windows is ready for your dream renovation. Enjoy the current two bedroom, two bath with den/library/office layout or easily convert it to three bedrooms. Tons of details are still intact including the original oak doors and bird's eye maple hardwood floors. Lots of storage and closet space, dishwasher and laundry room. Ruggles House is an excellent pet friendly coop and one of the few prewar loft buildings in Gramercy Park. Other building features include a fabulous roof deck, individual storage and bicycle storage for each unit in the basement. The Gramercy Park neighborhood is truly a special oasis within the city. Between the park's beauty, the quaintness of Irving Place and the historic buildings that have been preserved there, it is one of New York's finest neighborhoods. You are also centrally located just steps away from many premier restaurants and Union Square, which hosts the farmer's market and has subway lines to connect you to any destination in the city.
