Set on the corner of tree-lined Irving Place and quiet 19th Street, an area affectionately known in New York City architectural circles as “Block Beautiful,” 78 Irving stands proudly as part of the Gramercy Park Historic District. A regal limestone, granite, and masonry exterior – with original 1901 ornamentation – provides a glimpse of the exquisite architectural detailing that awaits inside this stunning building. The expansive residences have highly malleable layouts with few obstructions, allowing owners to make the space their own. Kitchens have been thoughtfully designed to act as the hub of the house, with floating islands as a place to sit and work or share a meal. By the window, an extra prep zone doubles as an office nook, with a custom leather blotter and stool tucked away beneath the countertop. Just one of the many elegant yet functional touches that make life at 78 Irving Place Unique. Each residence takes its style cues from the Gilded Age, but has also been thoroughly updated and wired for the Digital Age. The building even has a powerful generator to allow life to go on as usual should an emergency arise – a feature that far exceeds city requirements, and another example of how 78 Irving goes above and beyond what you ever thought a New York City residence could be.
