The Italians and Brits haven’t always gotten along so great (see: Henry VIII, World War II, World Cup 2014, et al.). But the two nations put all that ugliness behind them to meld together and stylize this 28-foot-wide Anglo-Italianate townhouse at Stuyvesant Square Park.
SPECS AND THE CITY: 6,494 square feet, five bedrooms, six bathrooms, Gramercy
PERKS: A three-bay facade, five stories, 16-foot ceilings on the parlor floor, a “grand winding” staircase, five fireplaces, arched doorways, skylights and original moldings, Clive Christian eat-in kitchen with limestone countertops, “high-end” appliances, a separate office, direct access to the “charming” garden, and a master bedroom with private terrace.
WHAT’S THE CATCH? The music room could encourage you or yours to get the old band back together.
THE X-FACTOR: A cast-iron balcony running “the width of the edifice” will tempt you to pretend like you’re the pope addressing Saint Peter’s Square.
