Originally the Hotel Irving, built circa 1903, 26 Gramercy Park South was converted to a co-op in 1986. The building allows 80% financing, subletting after 3 years, pets, pied-a-terres, co-purchasing, parents buying for adult working children (no students and case-by-case) and gifting. It has an on-site super, doorman on evenings and weekends, a central laundry room, storage lockers for rent, bike storage, as well as a personal key to private Gramercy Park. The Gramercy Park Historic District, particularly the blocks surrounding Gramercy Park, are among the most beautiful and serene in all of Manhattan. They are comprised of elegant and architecturally stunning prewar buildings, townhouses, brownstones and carriage houses, reminiscent of London's West End. Notable buildings on Gramercy Park South include the Victorian Gothic mansion housing the National Arts Club, and the Stanford White designed mansion housing the Players' Club. Notable residents of Gramercy Park, past and present, have included Thomas Edison, Oscar Wilde, John Steinbeck, Gregory Peck, Julia Roberts, Kate Hudson and Jimmy Fallon. An assortment of restaurants, bars and shops line Irving Place, the main thoroughfare of the neighborhood south of the Park. The hustle and bustle of Union Square is just steps away from this tranquil enclave, providing easy access to the N, R, Q, W, 4, 5, 6 and L trains. A Citi Bike station is just one block away.
