26 Gramercy Park S

Built in 1903 as the Hotel Irving, this ten-story prewar cooperative on Gramercy Park South comprises roughly 75–78 residences, primarily one-bedroom layouts and studios. The limestone-and-brick façade and classic setback massing reflect early 20th-century Manhattan architecture; interiors retain high ceilings, large windows, and original proportions while many units show modernized kitchens and baths. Common areas include a part-time doorman-attended lobby, two elevators, a full-time superintendent and porter, laundry room, bike room, and recently refreshed corridors and elevators. The building offers entrances on Gramercy Park South and East 19th Street, and residents may obtain one of the limited keys granting access to Manhattan’s private Gramercy Park. Policies are notably flexible for a prewar coop: pieds-à-terre, guarantors, parental purchases, pets, and subletting (after an initial ownership period) are permitted subject to board approval. Located on a quiet, tree-lined block near Irving Place, the property sits within easy walking distance of Union Square, Madison Square Park, transit lines, markets, and neighborhood restaurants, delivering a blend of historic character and urban convenience.
