Townhouse  Facade    Marzovilla  Residence    NYC    1998

Nestled between Gramercy Park and Midtown ,Murray Hill is included in the State and national
Registry of Historic Sites. The neighborhood is home to many fine hotels , consulates and
embassies and some of the city's most magnificent townhouses.

"The finest talents in architecture, design , and craftsmanship have joined together to redefine
the traditional townhouse lifestyle for meeting the demands of the 21st-Century living.
Sensible, seamless and stylized , this 20 foot-wide residence in Historic Murray Hill has been
stripped down to its original joists and rebuilt by the current owners who spared nothing
in their quest for perfection.
The results are simply amazing.
The owner's residence. The main parlor level offers a large open floor plan that maximizes
the width of the house.
A series of three French doors overlooks the beautiful three lined street. In addition to the
12-foot ceiling ,Brazilian cherry wood floor , and exceptional moldings and detail, amenities
include a wood-and gas -burning fireplace, an open staircase ,a powder room, a pantry and an
enormous country -style dining area and kitchen.

burning fireplace as well as an enclosed terrace beyond the bedroom currently used as a personal
gym and office.

bidet.
A second bedroom was converted in a superbly finished walk-in closet-dressing room at one
end of the house. The third floor contains three bedrooms and two bathrooms. A private terrace
