Step into a world designed by renowned architect Gilbert A. Schellinger 1898-1900. Here is your opportunity to connect with a classic prewar building that takes you back to the times of horse & buggy in Manhattan. It puts you squarely in the center of town with a prime Union Square Park location.

This flat itself is one of the most unique you will ever see. Forget about shopping for art pieces as the apartment itself is the “art piece�. You will find one of the largest ornate decorative fireplaces with mantle along with stained glass separating the bedroom and living areas (featured extensively in the media). I would encourage you to take a deep dive into the media on this as its quite immersive.

The apartment can be used for residential however it has historically worked well as a therapist's office and the co-op will permit this.

This apartment is a junior one priced right and ready to rent @ $3300 per month.

This flat features a heavy dose of historic prewar detail including huge ornate decorative fireplace, stained glass and detailed original moldings on the ceiling. Further features include kitchen with a D/W, two remote control central AC units, high ceiling (9.3 feet), hardwood floors & windowed bath.

1. The co-op will not permit any kind of alternative medicine type offices.
3. This apartment does not get any natural light and has no view as its lobby level and internal.
