The five-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom ground-entry abode was originally designed by Stanford White in 1893. Today, the property combines centuries-old design elements with modern 21st-century amenities.
Upon entry, guests find a “wood-paneled vestibule with pristine tilework,” according to the listing, held by Colin Montgomery of Sotheby’s International Realty. From there, a 19-foot living salon flows into a large eat-in kitchen with a powder room. Restored hardwood and “wavy-glass” cabinetry surrounds the space.

A parlor floor spreads over 50 feet of linear space connecting a formal dining and living room. Ornate features like pocket doors, decorative fireplaces and a Juliet balcony enhance the space. A central gallery features a built-in bench that anchors the floor. The butler’s pantry comes complete with a wet bar and connects to the dining room, gallery and kitchen via a back staircase.

The third floor has two oversized “co-primary” bedrooms that share a fully renovated bath with custom marble, radiant floors and a walk-in shower. The top floor has another three bedrooms with a bathroom that features both a soaking tub and glass-enclosed shower.
A 2018 renovation introduced zoned central HVAC, radiant-heat floors in the bathrooms, the rebuilt rear deck and an automatic garage door system to the private garage in the Striver’s Row alleyway.
“It’s a beautifully preserved Strivers’ Row townhouse, about as close to its original 1890s interior as you’ll find in the neighborhood,” Montgomery said in a statement shared with PEOPLE. “We had strong interest throughout, and the right buyer was someone who wanted to live in the house, not change it.”
