305 East 18th Street

Located just moments from some of downtown Manhattan's most beloved landmarks, including Gramercy Park, Union Square, and Stuyvesant Square Park, this 20-foot-wide townhouse occupies a picturesque, tree-lined block comprised of just 34 historic townhouses. Spanning approximately 3,200 square feet across four stories, the residence is currently configured as a live-work home but offers the perfect transition back to a traditional single-family layout.
A classic brownstone stoop leads to the parlor floor, where impressive ceiling heights and abundant natural light highlight a collection of preserved period details. Original crown moldings, marble mantels, historic door frames, and the home's original wood balustrade and banister contribute warmth and character throughout the space. Generously proportioned rooms and a flexible layout provide a strong foundation for modernization or restoration.
