A grand example of architectural elegance, this rare home is situated high atop the prestigious 44 Gramercy Park North. Originally designed by the notable early twentieth century architecture firm, Schwartz and Gross, 44 Gramercy Park North was built in 1929. The famous residence 12A, with its truly one-of-a-kind features, was designed for and occupied by the original developer of the building. This magnificent property has been featured in numerous design magazines and other publications and was called "an Architectural Masterpiece" by New York Magazine.
