Listing Notes
Introducing The Lucia-a rare boutique offering where contemporary sophistication is seamlessly woven into the Gilded Age fabric of Murray Hill's Historic District. Originally crafted in 1891-1892 by the acclaimed architects Romeyn & Stevens for James C. Fargo, President of American Express, this Renaissance Revival townhouse is a masterwork of brownstone, brick, and terra cotta detailing. Within its distinguished facade lie just seven exclusive residences ranging from intimate studios to gracious three-bedroom homes, each embodying the timeless appeal of townhouse living in the heart of Manhattan. Inside, soaring ceilings and tall sash windows bathe open-plan interiors with natural light, accentuating wide-plank hardwood floors and refined modern finishes. Designer kitchens pair custom two-tone cabinetry with richly veined stone countertops and backsplashes, while integrated Bosch, Summit, and Fulgor Milano appliances provide both beauty and function. Elegant matte-black hardware and Brizo fixtures add a tailored contrast to stainless steel Kohler sinks. Spa-inspired bathrooms are wrapped in Everlast Arabescato porcelain, with floating vanities, inset mirrored cabinetry, and matte-black accents. Frameless glass partitions enclose deep soaking tubs and walk-in showers, creating a tranquil retreat. Every residence is outfitted with an in-unit washer/dryer for ultimate convenience. Set on one of Murray Hill's most picturesque tree-lined streets, The Lucia offers residents a rare blend of serenity and connectivity. The Morgan Library, Scandinavia House, the Empire State Building, and Bryant Park are minutes away, while world-class dining, boutique cafes, and luxury shopping along Fifth and Madison Avenues enrich daily life. Grand Central Terminal and multiple subway lines (4/5/6/7/B/D/F/M/N/Q/R/W) place the entire city within effortless reach. Pet-friendly and boutique by design, The Lucia represents a unique opportunity to reside in a piece of New York history-graced with the elegance of the past and reimagined for modern living.
