Gramercy Park is one of New York City’s most sought-after neighborhoods. This affluent Lower Manhattan enclave is known for its upscale residences and restaurants, as well as the exclusive Gramercy Park itself, where only residents of nearby buildings can enter. One new residence in Gramercy Park, 250 East 21st Street, adds to the neighborhood’s appeal, offering resort-quality amenities to elegantly crafted residences.
250 East 21st Street, designed by Issac & Stern Architects, stands out in Gramercy Park with a timeless Parisian-style design. Its design is so striking that people passing by have walked in and bought an apartment on the same day. The building has standout exterior features that immediately catch the eye, including a hand-laid limestone facade, oversized windows, Mansard crown, customized decorative metal accents, and many Juliette balconies. A large grand entry door leads into a stylish lobby with a reception area offering services 24/7.
The building has an array of high-end amenities that ensure residents will enjoy an unparalleled lifestyle. A rooftop park with picturesque landscaping provides excellent views of the surrounding city, with seating and a rooftop barbecue to maximize the outdoor fun. The second level of the building is the amenity center. It includes a state-of-the-art fitness center, a Zen yoga garden, and a salon with a media center, fireplace, and dining area that can be reserved for private events. These homes are selling rapidly, as more than 90% of the units have already sold, and residents are already living in the building.
Unit 10B is priced at $6,995,000. The interior of this stunning residence was designed by Paris Forino, a highly sought-after interior designer with a track record of internationally acclaimed interiors, and staged by Ash Staging. Buyers have the option to purchase the furniture used to stage the apartment for an additional price. This 2,468-square-foot unit has four bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, and a private outdoor terrace over 45 feet in length.
Residence 10B has a spacious feel, enhanced by the 10-foot ceilings that make each room feel all the more accommodating. Hand-laid white oak herringbone flooring and custom wall paneling with picture frame molding give the residents a sense of gravitas, and the light color scheme provides a contemporary and inviting atmosphere. When entering the home, a long hallway leads to the spacious living and dining room area. The living room features an abundance of seating and gorgeous furnishings in a black and white color palette, including a pair of custom ribbon chairs in charcoal fabric by Ash and a stone cocktail table with unique bone inlay details. The connected dining room is anchored by a solid walnut table, surrounded by ivory upholstered chairs and a large, sleek Roll & Hill chandelier hanging above.
The lovely, custom-designed kitchen, seamlessly connected to the dining area, includes best-in-class Miele appliances, a Liebherr wine refrigerator, custom millwork cabinetry in a soft blue color, and Tundra marble countertops.
The primary bedroom is boldly decorated in a black and tan palette, with a wallpapered accent wall and an ebony ceiling. Other unique features include black and walnut nightstands by Kelly Wearstler, which are paired with Serge Mouille sconces, and a Jeanneret-style bench with rattan detailing at the foot of the bed. This serene space provides direct access to the terrace and also includes a large walk-in closet.
The spa-quality, five-fixture primary bathroom boasts Crystallo Pearl marble, a custom vanity, and bespoke Waterworks fixtures in polished nickel.
The residence also includes a beautifully decorated child’s bedroom, a bold, contemporary guest bedroom, a study with direct access to the terrace, and a laundry room and a powder room just off the entryway.
With an exterior that reflects Gramercy Park’s European charm, interiors designed by one of New York City’s top interior designers, and high-end amenities that provide numerous lifestyle benefits, it is no wonder that homes in 250 East 21st Street are being snatched up so rapidly.
