Welcome to your New York refuge. Nestled next to the legendary Carlyle Hotel, the Imperial is a rare and well preserved architectural gem that dates from 1883.  It is often lauded as a smaller cousin to its contemporary, the Dakota. This landmarked 7 story building is one of the existing handful that evoke a bygone era and played host to such renown residents like William R. Barnes, co-founder of Barnes & Noble. Classic 19th Century details abound from the glass and wrought iron doors and mosaic tiled floors of the lobby to the architectural carvings on the well-preserved brownstone facade.

The home’s gracious windowed foyer greets visitors and introduces them to the soaring 11’ ceilings that impart a sumptuous impression throughout.  A marble-mantled fireplace tastefully framed with columns and a mirror acts as the focal point for the volumetric living room.  This home features a renovated kitchen with contemporary stainless steel appliances as well as a marble countertop/backsplash.  The renovated bathroom sports ample storage and a large soaking tub.

Experience the lush canopy of Central Park, a block and a half away, as your backdrop whenever arriving or leaving this special building which includes a laundry room and a part-time doorman on duty from 8am-midnight.
