The Lucia

Introducing The Lucia—a rare boutique offering where contemporary sophistication is seamlessly woven into the Gilded Age fabric of Murray Hill’s Historic District.

Originally crafted in 1891–1892 by the acclaimed architects Romeyn & Stevens for James C. Fargo, President of American Express, this Renaissance Revival townhouse is a masterwork of brownstone, brick, and terra cotta detailing. Within its distinguished façade lie just seven exclusive residences ranging from intimate studios to gracious three-bedroom homes, each embodying the timeless appeal of townhouse living in the heart of Manhattan.

Inside, soaring ceilings and tall sash windows bathe open-plan interiors with natural light, accentuating wide-plank hardwood floors and refined modern finishes. Designer kitchens pair custom two-tone cabinetry with richly veined stone countertops and backsplashes, while integrated Bosch, Summit, and Fulgor Milano appliances provide both beauty and function. Elegant matte-black hardware and Brizo fixtures add a tailored contrast to stainless steel Kohler sinks.

Spa-inspired bathrooms are wrapped in Everlast Arabescato porcelain, with floating vanities, inset mirrored cabinetry, and matte-black accents. Frameless glass partitions enclose deep soaking tubs and walk-in showers, creating a tranquil retreat. Every residence is outfitted with an in-unit washer/dryer for ultimate convenience.

Set on one of Murray Hill’s most picturesque tree-lined streets, The Lucia offers residents a rare blend of serenity and connectivity. The Morgan Library, Scandinavia House, the Empire State Building, and Bryant Park are minutes away, while world-class dining, boutique cafes, and luxury shopping along Fifth and Madison Avenues enrich daily life. Grand Central Terminal and multiple subway lines (4/5/6/7/B/D/F/M/N/Q/R/W) place the entire city within effortless reach.

Pet-friendly and boutique by design, The Lucia represents a unique opportunity to reside in a piece of New York history—graced with the elegance of the past and reimagined for modern living.
