Welcome to 135 East 19th Street in New York City. Once owned by fashion designer Oleg Cassini — who dressed Hollywood legends such as Marilyn Monroe, Lana Turner, Grace Kelly, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis — this magnificent Gothic Revival townhouse teems with elegance, luxury, and grandeur. With stained-glass windows adorning each floor, a gorgeous entry foyer with curved pieces such as the circular and leather-clad console that juxtapose beautifully with the intricate woodwork lining the walls and Flemish pattern stone floors; a show-stopping great room with soaring barrel-vaulted ceilings, 7-ft stone fireplace, hardwood walls that are decked out with modern sconces and artwork; a secret wine cellar and tasting room that are perfect for happy hour; a palace-style garden with a working fountain that’s an ideal spot for enjoying a cup of coffee; and an ornate staircase connecting all four levels of the home including the mezzanine with its romantic lighting, white-washed live-edge dining table surrounded by linen chairs, mirrors on the paneling to enlarge the space and reflect light, this 6-bedroom home is a hidden gem in the heart of Gramercy Park.
See how professional stager Cheryl Eisen and her team infused subtle contemporary upgrades throughout this over 6,700 sq ft residence to complement — not clash — with the original architecture — and to serve as a visual journey where history meets fashion and design with just the right amount of drama.
