About This Home
As of November 2025Set in the heart of Gramercy, 128 East 19th Street is an architecturally significant, 23.5-foot-wide landmarked townhouse with rare scale, rich provenance, and timeless appeal.

This grand home retains its historic charm while offering exceptional potential for customization. High ceilings, sun-flooded rooms, detailed moldings, and original hardwood floors define the elegant interiors. The garden floor welcomes you with gracious entertaining spaces, including formal living and dining rooms, period fireplaces, and oversized windows that bathe the space in natural light. Multiple levels of flexible living space offer a blend of grand entertaining and private retreat, with generous bedrooms, home offices, and gathering areas throughout.
There is a south facing garden and potential for a terrace on the second floor. These tranquil retreats provide ideal settings for quiet mornings, al fresco dining, or simply enjoying the serenity of this storied block. Perfectly positioned between Irving Place and Third Avenue, this home enjoys immediate access to Gramercy Park, Union Square, acclaimed restaurants, artisanal cafés, and boutique shopping, all while offering a rare sense of calm and privacy.

Revered by historians, architects, and New Yorkers alike, "Block Beautiful" is not just a location - it's a destination. A living tribute to Manhattan's golden age of residential design, and a setting that elevates this offering into the realm of the truly exceptional..
