Have your very own slice of historic New York City for less than renting – nestled on one of Gramercys most picturesque, tree-lined blocks. Sunlit views over courtyard trees, classic brick facades and slate rooftops, evoke the romance of a Parisian skyline – right in the heart of New York City.

This exceptional apartment is truly a no-brainer: a charming prewar home on an idyllic, landmarked block featuring two bedrooms, landmark views, beautiful sunlight from south and east exposures, an in-unit washer and dryer, exposed brick, 9.5 high ceilings, and low monthly maintenance – all for $925K.

Located in the Stuyvesant Square Historic District, the apartment is moments from Union Square, Irving Place, and some of Downtown Manhattans best shopping and dining. Fun fact: 26 of the 59 restaurants awarded a Michelin star in Manhattan in 2025 are within a mile of the apartment.

The home features seven windows, a windowed kitchen, a windowed bathroom, and excellent natural light throughout.

The apartment welcomes you with 120-year-old exposed brick, giving the home authentic prewar character. The windowed kitchen has character with white brick walls and blue tile backsplash and includes a range, refrigerator, washer and dryer and dishwasher. Both bedrooms fit queen sized beds and enjoy south-facing views overlooking St. George Church’s courtyard. The windowed renovated bathroom features a large walk-in shower.

The Building

Nestled among historic townhouses on a quiet, tree-lined block in the heart of Gramercy is Mon Bijou (my jewel), an architecturally distinctive 1903 Beaux-Arts cooperative.

The building is beautifully maintained and filled with original charm, including ornate moldings, decorative ceramic tile floors, and marble staircases in the common areas. It is also run very tightly financially; Maintenance only went up 1% last year – so rare!

Original marble stairs and plant-adorned windows guide you up three flights to tranquil Apartment 4D.
