81 IRVING PLACE - 81 Irving Place Cooperative in Gramercy Park, Manhattan | NYC Real Estate Brokerage

Situated on Irving Place just a block south of private Gramercy Park, 81 Irving Place is a stately 16‐story pre‐war cooperative built in 1929‐30. Designed by architect George F. Pelham for developer Louis Cowan, the building was originally known as the Gramercy Square Apartments. It was converted to co‐operative ownership in 1982‐83 and remains one of the neighborhood's most admired residential addresses. Multiple facades showcase rich architectural ornamentation: browns and russet brickwork, decorative terracotta elements, sculpted gargoyles, projecting balconies, casement windows, and a strong Renaissance influence in its setbacks and ornament. Inside, 81 Irving Place contains approximately 102 units, mostly studios, one‐beds, and a few larger apartments. The residences retain many pre‐war details-wood‐floors, casement windows, decorative moldings, sometimes beamed ceilings, and in many units generous ceiling height. Many homes have been updated, bringing in modern kitchens and bathrooms, custom finishes, yet the building preserves its character and historic architecture. It appeals to those who love old‐world detail combined with modern conveniences, in an elegant, walk‐up (actually elevator) building with staff and services that match its prestige. Location is exceptional-Gramercy Park area is quiet, elegant, and central. Residents are steps away from upscale eateries, boutiques, Union Square, transit hubs, and cultural institutions. The nearby green spaces, such as the hidden charm of Irving Place, combine with the heritage architecture to create an environment of refined urban living. For those who seek a building with history, architectural flair, strong bones, full service, and a calm yet central address-81 Irving Place delivers with style.
