Welcome home to The Abbey, where modern luxury meets landmarked history.
Spanning nearly 1,800 square feet, Residence 2C is a two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home pairing scale and refinement with architecture that could never be recreated today.
Built in 1888 as the Parish House of St. George’s Church, The Abbey is a New York City Landmark designed by renowned architect Leopold Eidlitz. Residence 2C embraces that history while living entirely in the present, with through-wall air conditioning, an in-unit washer/dryer, and a layout designed for both privacy and entertaining.
The expansive chef’s kitchen anchors the living space with top-of-the-line Miele appliances, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and an oversized island featuring induction cooking, downdraft ventilation, and seating for four. A dedicated dining area comfortably seats eight.
The gracious living room is illuminated by original stained-glass windows framing tree-lined brownstone views.
Two generously proportioned bedrooms are tucked away from the main living areas. The primary suite offers multiple closets and an ensuite bath with radiant-heated Bella Carrara marble floors, a custom vanity with inset lighting, and discreetly integrated Bluetooth speakers. A second full bath and powder room complete the home.
With just 31 residences, The Abbey offers an intimate, full-service living experience with a 24-hour attended lobby, porter, and live-in superintendent. Set on quiet, tree-lined East 16th Street, the building is moments from Stuyvesant Square Park and Union Square, with some of the city’s best dining, shopping, and entertainment nearby.
