This $7.5M Kips Bay townhouse has a private saltwater lap pool in the backyard

The three-unit Kips Bay townhouse at 308 East 30th Street is 21 feet wide and beautifully renovated, from its garden apartment to landscaped rooftop deck with Empire State Building views. But the most unique thing about this home, asking $7,500,000, is definitely the heated outdoor in-ground lap pool on the back patio.

The townhouse is configured as a four-bedroom owner’s duplex, a two-bedroom garden apartment, and a two-bedroom top-floor apartment with a home office, with central air throughout. All units have access to the landscaped private rooftop space.

Up a classic stoop entrance, enter the duplex on the parlor floor. This gracious entertaining space has high ceilings, wide-plank oak flooring, and oversized windows; an open living/dining room features a wood-burning fireplace. The primary bedroom and bath are on the parlor floor as well.

A charming bespoke chef’s kitchen boasts tons of custom cabinetry, a Wolf range, a pot filler, a Subzero refrigerator, and a Fisher & Paykel dishwasher. Worktops are a combo of wood and chef-grade stainless steel.

Off the kitchen is an outdoor terrace with a grill, providing access to the bluestone patio below. Set jewel-like into the patio is the rare beat-the-heat bonus of a saltwater in-ground lap pool.

Up a newly-constructed staircase is the duplex’s private bedroom floor. In addition to a full bath and a washer/dryer, there are three bedrooms and a media room on this level.

The bright and spacious garden apartment offers two bedrooms, a full bath, and a charmingly renovated kitchen.

The top-floor apartment offers two bedrooms, a wood-burning fireplace, a private terrace, and a home office. The kitchen, like the others, features top-of-the-line appliances and plenty of storage and dining space.

Adding to this unique Manhattan home’s generous outdoor spaces is a landscaped roof deck accessible to all three units. This urban oasis is equipped with irrigation and blessed with Empire State Building and Chrysler Building views. In addition to the building’s high rental income potential, it can, of course, be restored to its original single-family grandeur for a masterful urban mansion, pool included.
