Step into 119 East 55th Street, A luxurious townhouse rich in both history and opulence. Built in 1868 by renowned architect James W. Pirsson, this lavish 19-foot-wide townhouse is one of the famous architect’s last remaining single-family homes. Featuring a red brick facade decorated with doric pilasters and ornamented keystones, this house is now ready for an interior renovation that will match the beauty and splendor of its exterior. With five floors, a basement, backyard, and multiple terraces, this property can be transformed into an oasis in the middle of Manhattan. Such an idea has been crafted by GKV Architects. GKV Architects have meticulously designed and detailed two potential concepts for this property: A single-family residence and a consulate or bespoke office with a residence above.
