About the Listing 51 - 40215

Introducing an extraordinary opportunity to own a truly unique, turnkey townhome on New York's prestigious Gold Coast. Located at 20 East 10th Street, this impeccably renovated 25-foot-wide townhouse, originally built in 1864, has been flawlessly reimagined by renowned architectural firm Deborah Berke Partners. Once the cherished residence of the iconic Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, this home offers five levels of luxurious living space, plus a basement, blending modern sophistication with the timeless charm of its historic roots.

Upon entering the parlor level, you are welcomed into a sun-drenched foyer that leads to an elegant, reimagined interior. The grand wood staircase, a central design feature, was meticulously updated with a custom handrail that honors the building's historic architecture while embracing modern sensibilities. To the right, the formal dining and living rooms span the full length of the home, offering a sense of scale and light that is amplified by the 12-foot ceilings and expansive northern and southern exposures, which bathe the rooms in natural light through oversized windows.

The dining room, which can be elegantly separated from the living room by the home's original, beautifully crafted pocket doors, offers a serene tree-lined view of 10th Street and features a gorgeously carved marble mantel surrounding one of the home's seven wood-burning fireplaces. The expansive living room, overlooking the immaculately maintained garden, provides direct access to the outdoors, with a second fireplace and a custom wet bar with a Sub-Zero beverage refrigerator-ideal for seamless indoor and outdoor entertaining. Intricate moldings, wide-plank 12-inch white oak flooring (which continues throughout the upper floors), a powder room, and a spacious coat closet complete this level.

One floor below, the modern, eat-in Boffi kitchen is a chef's dream, equipped with an integrated Gaggenau appliance package that includes an induction hob, refrigerator, freezer, oven, microwave oven, steam oven, warming drawer, and sealing drawer, along with two Miele dishwashers. On the southern side of the kitchen, floor-to-ceiling glass doors provide an abundance of light for the large dining area and open to reveal the meticulously landscaped garden and bluestone patio, complete with an irrigation system and lighting plan.

The floor above the parlor level is dedicated to the guest or secondary bedrooms. Here, you'll find an oversized, north-facing bedroom with three large windows, a wood-burning fireplace, and a luxurious en-suite bath. The southern half of the floor houses two additional bedrooms overlooking the garden-one with an en-suite bath and the other offering a spacious den or dressing room and a private bath.

The full-floor primary suite, situated one level above, is the ultimate in luxury and privacy. With nearly 10-foot ceilings, this expansive retreat includes a beautifully appointed bedroom with a fireplace, a vast walk-in closet, and a sumptuous, spa-like bath featuring yet another fireplace, a free-standing soaking tub, custom marble and oak vanities and state-of-the-art fixtures. Off the bedroom, a private garden-view terrace provides a peaceful outdoor escape, perfect for dining or lounging.

The top floor, with its voluminous lofted space and preserved vaulted skylight, offers endless possibilities as a media room, office, gym, art studio, or guest suite. A full bath and duct work are already in place, allowing the space to be easily partitioned for additional rooms if desired.

For those in need of additional storage or an area for projects, the basement provides generous space, including a laundry room with two full-sized washers and dryers, a full bathroom, a temperature-controlled 1,000-bottle wine cellar, and ample, thoughtfully designed storage running the length of the home.

The townhouse's new systems, including a roof membrane, a 9-zone HVAC system, humidification system, water heaters, smoke and heat detection, fire doors, and a Siedle entry phone system with intercom and app controls, ensure the utmost convenience and peace of mind, truly elevating the concept of "turnkey."

This extraordinary townhome offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of history while enjoying all the comforts and luxuries of modern living in one of Manhattan's most sought-after neighborhoods. With its rare combination of space, style, and sophistication, don't miss your chance to make this remarkable property your new home.
