Overview of Gramercy Mews at 136 East 19th Street

Gramercy Mews at 136 East 19th Street is a historic brownstone building constructed in 1897 and thoughtfully converted to condominiums in 1999 by Kenneth Horn of Alchemy Properties, with architect Nicholas Tjartjalis overseeing the conversion. This distinctive 5-story structure, spanning 47 feet in width, stands on Manhattan's first 'Block Beautiful' between Irving Place and Third Avenue in the coveted Gramercy neighborhood.

The building's architectural character is defined by its handsome brownstone façade, featuring multi-paned windows, a decorative cornice, and notably attractive wrought-iron fire escapes with spiral steps and solid terraces. These elements preserve the building's pre-war charm while incorporating modern amenities.

Uniquely intimate in scale, Gramercy Mews houses just five condominium residences, each thoughtfully designed to maximize space and light. The units feature wood-burning fireplaces and various outdoor spaces, including terraces, gardens, and roof decks. The building offers modern conveniences including an elevator and basement storage, while maintaining a pet-friendly policy.

Situated in one of Manhattan's most distinguished neighborhoods, the building enjoys proximity to Gramercy Park, the National Arts Club, and Union Square. The location provides easy access to the area's renowned dining establishments, including the Gramercy Tavern, as well as convenient transportation options via multiple subway lines (4/5/6/L/N/Q/R/W).
