The Boston ivy beckons you into this charming, four-story, 1901 Kips Bay townhouse. Approximately 5,688 square feet, it is currently configured as a mixed use property, featuring approximately 1500 square feet of medical office or store space on the 1st floor and a residential triplex above. Many architectural details remain from its previous incarnations as a multi-unit building, and all have been lovingly maintained.

The 1st floor office has independent access from the residence and consists of a generous front room, two sky-lit office/examining rooms and a back studio, with a 156 sq ft patio. There are 2 closets, a large storage room and 2 lavatories. Multiple entrances to each of the rooms permit maximum flexibility and utility of these unique spaces. The professional space is cooled by central air conditioning. There is also an unfinished basement below grade.

Upstairs, under the graceful arches and soaring ceilings of the residential triplex, tranquil, sunny rooms in which to gather abound, along with gracious bedrooms, an office, a dressing room, three gorgeous art deco bathrooms (as well as a more modern one!) and a laundry/utility room, adapted from a previous kitchen. Two wood-burning fireplaces, original doors still bearing their crystal doorknobs, gleaming hardwood, bordered floors alongside their terrazzo partners, all these contribute to the warmth and comfort of this welcoming home. Should you long for the great outdoors, your final staircase brings you to a 963 sq ft roof terrace which awaits your magical touch. Access can also be created from the second floor office to the roof over the extension, should you desire additional outdoor space.

Kips Bay is a vibrant neighborhood in the residential and commercial heart of Manhattan's East Side. Easily accessible by public and private transportation, it is the home to countless retail conveniences, fine dining, entertainment and leisure venues, as well as world-class educational and medical facilities. A sanctuary such as 240 East 33rd Street in proximity to all of this is a treasure, indeed.
