218 E 31st St, New York, NY 10016

218 E 31st St is a beautifully renovated, 20’-wide Greek Revival-style townhouse constructed in 1901. Spanning five floors, the home features hardwood floors, generous ceiling heights, and abundant natural light through oversized windows. Three wood-burning fireplaces add character throughout, and recent improvements include new HVAC, a whole-house filtration system, a boiler, and piping, along with abundant storage throughout.

The property is arranged as a three-family home, with an owner’s triplex occupying the garden and parlor floors, plus a finished basement featuring a newly remodeled full bath that could serve as a gym, media room, playroom, or extra bedroom. The living and dining areas include a cozy fireplace and modern finishes, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a southern-facing private backyard with a patio, lush greenery, and mature trees. The third and fourth floors each contain large two-bedroom, 1.5 bath floor-through apartments.

Delivered vacant at closing, the layout offers flexibility to combine the upper apartments into the owner’s unit for a single-family configuration or keep the property as a two-family investment. The home also includes more than 2,700 s.f. of unused FAR. Located on a tree-lined townhouse block in Kips Bay, the address is described as steps from public transportation, the East River Esplanade, and Trader Joe’s, with proximity to Grand Central Terminal and the Gramercy and Nomad districts, and it notes that 31st Street begins at 2nd Avenue with a lack of through traffic.
