It's true, this unseasonably warm weather isn't anything to complain about. But it's hard to look at a fireplace like the one pictured above and not start pining for a winter chill. The grand marble fireplace (which is also wood-burning...perfect for wintertime!) belongs to a one-bedroom apartment at 242 East 19th Street, an Art Deco co-op building in Gramercy Park. Constructed in 1926 and converted to a cooperative in 1984, the 15-story brick Italian Renaissance-style building holds 113 apartments. And since many of the surrounding buildings are low-rise, there's a great view from the building's roof deck. This apartment has the spacious rooms that you often find in prewar apartment buildings. It's a one-bedroom, although there's an office space without a window that could be used as a second bedroom. It's up for sale for $1.2 million by owner and photographer Julia Indrani Pal-Chaudhuri (known simply as Indrani).
