46 Sherman St New York City, NY 11215

Exceptional Bayfront Limestone with Details Galore Airy rooms and extravagant detail combine to make this stunning, carefully preserved three-story limestone on the south side of Sherman Street a unique opportunity for discerning buyers. The charming bayfront facade is outstanding both for its striking exterior design and the abundant light it provides. Totaling 2,783 square feet, this four bedroom, three bathroom 1901 home is one of the most intact you will find. Optimally located on desirable Sherman Street mid-way between 10th and 11th Avenues, the mature tree canopies and consistent rows of low-rise residences bring together this exceptional and friendly serene community. Standing at a generous 19.75’ wide and 47’ deep on a 105’ long lot, 46 Sherman Street is currently used as a two-family with an owner’s sprawling lower duplex and the entire spacious top floor as an income-producing rental apartment. Delivered vacant, it is easily adapted as a one-family residence. Owned by the same family for nearly 40 years, the home has been well-cared for, evidenced by the impressive overall solid condition and many recent upgrades such as a new furnace, rear facade restoration, well-insulated wooden windows, and forward-looking, environmentally and economically-friendly solar panels that reduce electric bills to a bare minimum. The basement is dry with 8 ft ceilings. Period details and millwork are impressive and include many original built-ins on each floor: wooden bookcases with glass panes, pier mirrors, including one with entryway bench, three beautiful wood and ceramic-tiled fireplace mantels, spectacular wall moldings, parquet oak floors with inlay designs, fretwork, working pocket doors, stained glass skylight over the top floor staircase, a floor to ceiling wooden serving station, unique and lovely decorative wood relief wall panels, delicate plaster ceiling medallions, crown molding shelves, decorative plaster trim, and original wooden doors and closets throughout. The owner’s duplex is currently configured on the garden level with an eat-in country kitchen and front sitting room with harmonious dimensions, thoughtfully outfitted with custom-made, nature-inspired William Morris wallpaper. In the middle of the floor is a large, walk-in pantry and full bathroom. Above the garden level, is the classic triple parlor with sweeping 10 ft ceilings, an artist studio, office, and sizable bedroom. Off of the hallway is a second bedroom, bathroom, and additional closets. Moving to the top floor where period details have also been preserved, is a floor through apartment ready to rent or to be incorporated into the new owner’s space. Some photos have been virtually enhanced.
