Availability & Reservations 1871 House in Manhatten, NY

The Lexington Suite offers the unique advantage of two high-perched but radically diverging views, from the front and the back of this full-floor suite. From the front, the picture is of tops of townhouses not unlike 1871 House, water towers rising above them, and a few larger, more recent apartment buildings reaching up beyond them at the fringes. A look through the window in one of the Lexington Suite's back bedrooms presents, instead, the figure of fully realized modernity, with a few of the soaring skyscrapers of Midtown, including the enormous residential building at 432 Park Avenue. 1871 House’s lovely cottage and garden terrace can be seen just below, to the South.The apartment is furnished with 2 queen beds (one in the largest room of the apartment traditionally used as the living room and looking out at East 62nd) and one in the back bedroom of the apartment facing the back of the building and overlooking the Garden Terrace and neighboring gardens. There isn't a separate living room. Adjacent to the apartment's bedroom, there is a small room that can be used as a dining room or WFH space. It is furnished with a table and chairs. There is a sitting area in front of the fireplace of the front room that is furnished with a loveseat and TV.
