An ornate Stuyvesant Heights townhouse for renters seeking a sense of history
Let's say you have a big group of friends—or a huge family—as well as a love of period architecture in New York City. If so, this six-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath rental townhouse in picturesque Stuyvesant Heights may be a match for you. The landmarked limestone abounds with classic, even ornate details, like stained glass, carved crown moldings, chandeliers, and decorative fireplaces, as well as of-the-moment appliances and finishes in the kitchen and bathrooms. And the price—the home is listed by Dixon Leasing for $8,720 per month, with one month free—doesn't strike us as too crazy, considering the size and the large backyard.
The home makes a powerful first impression, with an entry foyer outlined with intricate millwork and stained glass; the adjacent living room (see main image) features a large bay window and more elaborate woodwork.
A spacious dining room has an aura of old-world formality, while the kitchen is firmly in the 21st century, with upscale appliances, wine fridges, stylish custom cabinetry, and a separate pantry space—storage that would definitely come in handy for large-scale entertaining.
On the top two floors, bedrooms are equipped with large bay windows and decorative fireplaces, as well as walk-in closets and en-suite bathrooms. There's also an office area (not pictured) that includes a washer and dryer.
The master bedroom's en-suite bath is especially impressive, a spacious sanctuary with a double vanity, shower, and separate tub, plus radiant heated floors.
And the view from the backyard, which looks like it has potential for landscaping, not to mention outdoor parties this summer, reveals how lovely the home looks from outside as well as in.
