135 East 19th Street是市场上首次挂牌出售，已有超过50年的历史。这座房屋是纽约市最后几座具有重要建筑意义的豪宅之一，其历史可与美国任何著名住宅相媲美。

这座美丽的家最初由财富颇丰的荷兰人在17世纪于阿姆斯特丹建造，之后在1845年被拆除并运往上西区。1910年，它再次迁移到格拉默西公园，并由英国建筑师弗雷德里克·J·斯特纳完成，称为“约瑟夫·B·托马斯故居”——以在糖业中积累财富的主人命名。至今仍然保持完好，最近的业主是一位世界著名的时装设计师和人道主义者。社会上最杰出的女性们曾在这座美妙的家中穿着而出，该市最盛大的聚会亦是在其宏伟和传承中举行。

从外观来看，这座主要的联排别墅令人印象深刻，最特别的是其哥特式幻想设计。每一层的彩色玻璃窗闪耀着光芒，装饰性的石膏镶嵌装饰着立面，而华丽的屋顶线条为这座“街区之最”别墅增光添彩。巨大的木雕入口大门显示出其内部的历史和规模，这座别墅提供四层（加上一个室内夹层）和近7000平方英尺的内部居住空间。

巨大的入门门廊以华丽的弗拉芒花纹石地板迎接下一位客人。当人们走进曾被建筑师称为“意大利房间”的客厅时，真正的壮丽才开始展现，宽大的拱顶天花板、精致的花边石膏装饰、木质镶板墙和巨大的石壁炉尽显气派。

在客厅以及巨大的彩色玻璃文艺复兴窗墙之外，是一座水晶宫殿风格的花园，设有一个运作中的喷泉和在玻璃温室屋顶下供内嵌植物生长的区域。在客厅的下方，经过一条特殊的楼梯，有一个令人惊叹的酒窖和一间宴会品酒室。餐厅豪华得如同皇室，能够容纳许多人举行大型晚宴，也可以为几位宾客保持亲密。一走进就仿佛置身于欧洲的乡村庄园，墙上装饰着精致的木作。

楼上的卧室区域可以重新设想为巨大的套间卧室、更衣室、员工房等。目前，这里有六间卧室、六间浴室、一间全功能的厨师厨房、一间餐厅旁的准备厨房、一部小货梯、两条楼梯、一个洗衣中心等设施。

SHOWN BY APPOINTMENT

First time on the market in over 50 years, 135 East 19th Street is one of the last grand architecturally significant townhouses remaining available for private ownership in New York City, with a history rivaling any notable residence in the United States.

This amazing home was originally built by wealthy Dutch owners in Amsterdam in the 17th century, then dismantled and shipped to the Upper West Side in 1845. In 1910, it was relocated again to Gramercy Park and completed by English architect Frederick J. Sterner, becoming known as “The Joseph B. Thomas House” – named for the owner who accumulated his fortune in the sugar business. Still remaining fully intact, its most recent owner was a world-famous fashion designer and humanitarian. Society’s most notable women were dressed in this amazing home and the city’s finest parties were held amongst its grandeur and provenance.

From the outside, this major townhouse is impressive and most special for its Gothic fantasy design. Ribbons of stained-glass windows sparkle on every floor, decorative stone inlays define the façade, and an ornate roof line caps this "best on the block" mansion. Massive wood carved entry doors belie the history and scale that lie within, with the townhouse offering four stories (plus an interior mezzanine) and almost 7,000 square feet of interior living space.

The huge entry foyer awaits its next guest featuring a gorgeous Flemish pattern stone floor. The real majesty begins when one enters the living room once referred to by the architect as the “Italian Room” with its massive barrel-vaulted ceiling, delicate filigree plasterwork, wood paneled walls, and massive stone fireplace.

Beyond the living room and its huge stained glass Renaissance windowed wall is a crystal palace style garden with a working fountain and areas for interior plantings under a glass solarium roof. Below the living room, down a special staircase, is an amazing wine cellar and bacchanal tasting room. The dining room is fit for royalty and can seat many for major dinner parties or remain intimate for just a few. One feels like they are in a European country estate, with intricate woodwork lining the walls.

The upstairs bedroom floors can be reimagined as massive en-suite bedrooms, dressing rooms, staff rooms, and more. An ornately carved winding staircase encircles each floor. Presently, there are six bedrooms, six bathrooms, a full chef’s kitchen, a prep kitchen off the dining room, a dumbwaiter, two staircases, a laundry center, and more.
