About this House

Welcome to 642 E. 19th Street, a magnificent Victorian residence designed by John R. Corbin and built in 1910. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated over the years. It seamlessly blends historic elegance with the modern comforts today’s buyers expect.

Recently featured in BrownStoner, this home has 6 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and a powder room. The home’s floor plan can accommodate large families, guests, or multigenerational living. There is also the potential to add an exterior elevator or staircase, further enhancing accessibility and convenience. The dry basement, with windows on three sides, offers outstanding possibilities for recreation, a home gym, studio, workshop, or future finished living space.

From the moment you step inside, you’ll appreciate the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Original woodwork, parquet floors, period lighting, and beautiful architectural details have been carefully preserved throughout.

The gracious living room is centered around a handsome gas fireplace with custom built-in shelving and is spacious enough to accommodate a grand piano. Just beyond, a sun-filled enclosed porch provides the perfect setting for a home office, library, or cozy reading room. The elegant formal dining room features coffered ceilings, a decorative fireplace, and ample space for everything from intimate family dinners to memorable holiday celebrations.

For year-round comfort, the home is equipped with 8 Mitsubishi split-system AC units, providing efficient, zoned climate control throughout.

The beautifully renovated kitchen is truly the heart of the home. Rich Brazilian granite countertops, custom cabinetry, two pantries, and two sinks provide exceptional beauty and functionality. Serious cooks will appreciate the professionally rebuilt six-burner range, while thoughtful details—including two refrigerators, one a cleverly concealed Sub-Zero two-drawer model hidden beneath the counter—make everyday living effortless. The custom cabinetry offers abundant storage for cookware, cookbooks, and entertaining pieces, while the engineered cherry flooring features a water-resistant finish designed for busy households.

A sweeping central staircase leads to the 2nd floor, where the stunning primary suite spans the entire front of the home. Bay windows flood the room with natural light, creating a peaceful retreat. The spacious custom walk-in closet is beautifully outfitted with built-in drawers, shelving, and hanging space. The Japanese-inspired spa bathroom features a deep soaking tub, an oversized walk-in shower with an elegant tile tree motif, bidet, vessel sink, and generous linen storage.

The remainder of the 2nd floor functions as a private guest suite, complete with a sitting room featuring an efficiency kitchen, a separate bedroom, and a charming full bath with an original claw-foot tub—ideal for visiting family, extended stays, or independent living. An outside staircase or elevator can easily be added to enter this suite.

The top floor offers three additional bedrooms. The spacious bath is beautifully appointed with porcelain tile imported from Italy, an original claw-foot tub, a large glass-enclosed shower, vessel sink, and a separate private toilet, sink, and bidet area. Brilliant solar tubes fill the space with natural daylight.

Enjoy every season from the inviting front porch, enclosed with the home’s beautifully restored screen panels, which provide a peaceful, mosquito-free retreat. The recently refinished rear deck creates a private outdoor oasis with a built-in hot tub and lush gardens. The property includes a wide driveway and garage with off-street parking for up to three vehicles.

Just five minutes away, Newkirk Plaza provides easy access to the B & Q lines for convenient trips to Manhattan, and beyond. The neighborhood also offers an abundance of cafés, restaurants, bakeries, and local shops just moments from your front door. Come experience this extraordinary Victorian treasure!
