49 E 21St St

A boutique, pre‑war condominium in Manhattan’s Flatiron/Gramercy border, built in 1913 and standing 12 stories high. Converted to full-service condos in the early 2000s, the property contains primarily two- and three-bedroom loft-style residences arranged with just four units per floor. Architecture and interiors emphasize classic pre‑war proportions — beamed ceilings often around 11 feet, oversized picture windows, wide‑plank oak floors and substantial molding — combined with thoughtful modern renovations including updated kitchens and bathrooms. Typical unit features include generous great rooms for entertaining, formal dining areas or convertible home-office/nursery spaces, walk-in closets and double-vanity master baths; many homes have in‑unit washers and abundant built‑ins. Shared elements are domestic in scale: a planted, furnished roof deck, 24‑hour doorman/concierge, resident manager, elevator access and substantial private storage lockers assigned to each apartment. The building is pet‑friendly and offers nearby parking options rather than an on-site garage. Located steps from Madison Square Park, Union Square and transit hubs, the property blends historic character with contemporary finishes and provides a central, walkable urban lifestyle.
