Graceful Midtown Garden Duplex with Private Garden Oasis
Available April 1 / Pets allowed

A rare find in historic Turtle Bay, this charming garden duplex is nestled within a classic Midtown brownstone on a picturesque tree-lined street. Spanning both the parlor and ground floors, this versatile residence can function as a two bedroom plus ideal home office or second living room/den or three bedroom. The highlight is the coveted private garden, a serene retreat shaded by grapevines and a southern magnolia tree more than half a century old.

Offering a seamless blend of old-world elegance and modern conveniences, the home showcases beautifully preserved pre-war details, including beamed ceilings in the great room, a working wood-burning fireplace and gilded mirrors in the grand primary bedroom, located just across the street from the former residences of Katherine Hepburn and Kurt Vonnegut. While rich in character, the home is also equipped with top-tier appliances, including a Miele dishwasher, Wolf range, Liebherr refrigerator, and a built-in washer-dryer.

The parlor floor boasts soaring 13 foot ceilings, restored hardwood floors, original moldings and intricate craftsmanship throughout. Situated parallel to Turtle Bay Gardens, this coveted location has long attracted distinguished figures from the worlds of art, politics, film, and finance.

Pets allowed, subject to approval. Easy and quick approval process. All measurements and square footages are approximate and all information should be confirmed by customer.
