208 East 20th Street #1

Built-in the early 1900s and evidenced by its alluring
horse head-turning facade, 208 East 20th Streets history is
telltale. It is factually declared as one of the most recognizable
private city residences. With a carriage-style draft beginning and
in later years in addition to residential living had utilizations
for learning and advertising, the Ozenfant School of Fine Arts in
New York was in operation from 1939 until 1955. Amedee Ozenfant was
a French cubist painter, theoretician and writer and taught there.
Together with Charles-Edouard Jeanneret, he founded the
20th-century art movement known as Purism. In later years the house
was often storied to serve as a campaign backdrop and location site
for the best national advertisement agencies.Anchoring on one of
the most flourishing and contemporaneous area streets, the brick
building has two separate ground-level entrances that are both
served with individual foyers. Upon entering this furnished ground
floor unit of the property, you are undeniably taken with the
nostalgia of days gone by. You immediately notice the art and love
of life lived.The great meeting place of the lengthy 92 ft first
floor offers 60 ft of open living space and a terrific mezzanine
loft that provides for additional accommodation should you require
it. As you walk through each still life room, noticeable are the
20-ft ceilings, dynamite skylights, wood-burning fireplace, and
many of the earliest details. Northern and Southern exposure
ensures wonderful day and night light. The home is not ordinary.
And discerning people will enjoy it.While the days of the horse and
buggy are far behind us, relics of that bygone age remain to this
day in the form of carriage houses, and thank goodness for
that!Please note that flexible and adaptable lease terms will be
considered based on availability.
