Itinayo noong bandang 1878 at lubos na naibangon at ni-renovate noong 1958, ang multi-residential na mid-century modern townhouse na ito ay may kakaibang masagana at magandang 32 talampakang lalim, double wide-garden na mahusay na nakaposisyon sa gitna ng Beekman-United Nations na pamayanan, hindi kalayo sa Ilog sa Silangang bahagi ng Manhattan sa isang maganda at tahimik na residential na kalsadang punungkahoy. Itinampok sa tour ng City Garden Club ng NYC noong nakaraang taon, maaaring ito ang pinaka-espesyal na pribadong hardin sa Manhattan dahil ito ay maganda sa taglamig pati na rin sa tag-init. Ang kahanga-hangang sukat ng bahay na ito ay ipinapakita ng 20 talampakang lapad nito, limang palapag + cellar, 6,098 gross interior square feet, ang kamangha-manghang landscaping at maingat na pinanatiling hardin sa buong taon, at magandang natural na liwanag na pumapasok mula sa malalaking bintana: nangungunang klase na steel casement windows sa harap na may lubos na sahig hanggang kisame sa likod. Bilang karagdagan, ang masaganang berdeng tanawin ay makikita mula sa bawat bintana sa harapan at likuran ng bahay. Ang harapan ng gusali na may Pietra Piasantina na bato at steel casement windows ay na-renovate noong 2001.

Ang gusali ay kasalukuyang nahahati sa 3 maayos na pinanatiling potensyal na kita na bumubuo ng mga apartment: isang 3-4 na kuwartong, 3.5-banyo na triplex ng may-ari, isang one-bedroom duplex, at isang two-bedroom duplex bawat isa ay nag-aalok ng mga natatanging detalye tulad ng naglalagablab na fireplace, nakabuyangyang na ladrilyo, mga bintana mula sahig hanggang kisame, pribadong panlabas na espasyo, at mataas na kisame. Mayroong isang sistema ng seguridad para sa bahay at sentral na air conditioning sa buong bahay maliban sa dalawang unit na nasa dingding. Ang bahay ay pinainit gamit ang natural gas at may circulating hot water heating system, na may baseboard cast-iron radiators. May washer/dryer sa basement.

Ang bahay ay maaaring i-reconfigure bilang isang single-family home o bilang live/work home, o isang malaking tahanan ng may-ari na may dalawang yunit na bumubuo ng kita na may mababang rate ng bakante dahil sa lapit nito sa UN. Sa isang magandang, tahimik, at kaakit-akit na lokasyon, masusing detalye, pambihirang pribadong panlabas na espasyo, at maayos na proporsyonado at kaakit-akit, kanais-nais na mga apartment, ito ay isang hindi kapani-paniwalang oportunidad! Maaaring maihatid ang bahay na ganap na bakante kung nais.

Walang kaparis na Berdeng Tanawin at Kahanga-hangang Hardin
Mula sa loob, ang tahanan ay masisiyahan sa nangingibabaw na masaganang tanawin ng mga dahon - pareho sa direksyon ng kalsada, at palabas sa hardin - sa halos bawat antas. Ang mga eksena ay berde mula kalagitnaan ng Abril hanggang Oktubre, pagkatapos ay nagiging dilaw at kahel habang ang mga araw ay lumilipas patungo sa huli ng taglagas. Isang 60-taong-gulang na Beech tree ang tumutubo sa harapan ng bahay na nagbibigay ng nakabalot na talukbong ng mga halaman para sa bahagi ng kalsada. Sa likod, ang panloob na courtyard ng bloke ay partikular na bukas at may maraming matataas na puno. Ang hardin na nasa tabi ng bahay ay may mataas na London Planes at isang mature na Gingko, at isang understory na kinabibilangan ng redbuds, Japanese maples, snow drop, river birch, at witch hazel.

Isang 60 talampakang mahahabang brick wall sa likod ng lugar ng hardin na ito ay 12 talampakan ang taas at nakatapis ng mga lumang ivy. Ang hardin ay may hardscape na isang antigong Bourgogne stone patio na may mga mossy brick terraces sa kabila. Ang mga kama ng ivy ay tinukoy sa pamamagitan ng mababang brick borders, at may mga pako, hellebores, acuba, at rhododendrons. Isang kahoy na panabing na pader ay dinisenyo batay sa mga tanawin ng kalye sa Kyoto.

Built circa 1878 and completely reimagined and gut renovated in 1958, this multi-residential mid-century modern townhouse with an extraordinary lush and beautiful 32' deep, double wide-garden is superbly positioned in the heart of the Beekman-United Nations neighborhood just off the River on Manhattan's East Side on a lovely and quiet residential tree-lined block. Featured on last year's tour of the City Garden Club of NYC, this may be the most special private garden in Manhattan as it is beautiful in the winter as well as the summer. The impressive scale of this house is showcased by its 20-foot width, five stories + cellar, 6,098 gross interior square feet, the spectacular, landscaped and meticulously maintained year-round garden, and lovely natural light that massive windows draw in: top-grade steel casement windows on the front with completely floor-to-ceiling in the back. In addition, lush green views are showcased from every window both in the front and back of the house. The front of the building with its Pietra Piasantina stone and steel casement windows was renovated in 2001.

The building is currently divided into 3 well-maintained potential income generating apartments: a 3-4 bedroom, 3.5-bathroom owner's triplex, a one-bedroom duplex, and a two-bedroom duplex each offering unique details such as wood-burning fireplaces, exposed brick, floor-to-ceiling windows, private outdoor space, and high ceilings. There is a security system for the house and central air conditioning throughout except for two through-the-wall units. The house is heated with natural gas and has a circulating hot water heating system, with baseboard cast-iron radiators. There is a washer/dryer in the basement.

The house can be reconfigured as a single-family home or as a live/work home, or a large owner's home with two income-producing units with a low vacancy rate with its proximity to the UN. With a lovely, tranquil, and picturesque location, meticulous details, extraordinary private outdoor space, and well-proportioned and lovely, desirable apartments, this is an incredible opportunity! The house can be delivered fully vacant if desired.

Unparalleled Green Views and Magnificent Garden
From the inside, the home enjoys dominating lush leafy views -both toward the street, and out into the garden-on almost every level. The scenes are green from mid-April into October, then transmute through yellow and orange as days pass into late fall. A 60-old Beech tree rising from in the front of the house provides a layered veil of vegetation for the street side. In back, the block's interior courtyard is particularly open and there are numerous tall trees. The garden attending the house has an overstory of London Planes and a mature Gingko, and an understory including redbuds, Japanese maples, a snow drop, river birch, and witch hazel.

A 60'-long brick wall at the back of this garden area is 12' tall and draped in adult ivy. The garden's hardscape is an antique Bourgogne stone patio with mossy brick terraces beyond. Ivy beds are defined by low brick borders, and have ferns, hellebores, acuba, and rhododendrons. A wooden side wall is designed after Kyoto streetscapes.
