Does this Gramercy Park townhouse hit all the marks for a neighborhood status purchase?

Sometimes we like to look at options that are reasonably affordable for the average New Yorker, and sometimes, well, we like to think big. This week's pick—a fully updated, 25-foot-wide, $13 million townhouse near Gramercy Park—falls squarely into the latter category.

The five-bedroom, six-and-a-half-bath home has huge entertaining spaces on the main floor, including a grand foyer, a spacious dining room, and a large eat-in kitchen that leads onto a backyard garden and patio:

On the upper levels, you'll find five bedrooms, including a master bedroom with a sizeable walk-in closet. Strangely, none of the bathrooms are pictured, but the listing does note radiant heat floors:

There's a furnished basement, as well, plus a media room that could be turned into an extra bedroom and a gym (not pictured), and a hydraulic elevator to get you between floors when you don't feel like climbing the stairs:

The house is wired throughout with an "ambiet sound system," and also set up with 10-zone air-conditioning and an electronic air-cleaning and humidification system.

It doesn't seem as if the place comes with a key to Gramercy Park, which would make it just about perfect for certain downtown buyers, but when you've got your own private garden, that might not be a deal-breaker.
