Description

In the heart of Greenwich Village—where Manhattan’s storied past meets the pulse of modern design—this masterfully reimagined 25’-wide, six-level townhouse stands as a rare offering of scale, sophistication, and architectural pedigree. Thoughtfully designed by Elizabeth Roberts Architects, this exceptional private residence blends historical grandeur with refined, contemporary living. Upon entry, a dramatic double-height foyer sets the tone for the residence’s scale and elegance, providing a stunning visual connection between the street-level entrance and the restored parlor floor above. A perfect balance of traditional townhouse design with modern interventions, this level features large crown moldings, Versailles wood flooring, pocket shutters, door casings, and antique marble mantels with four functional wood-burning fireplaces. These elements have been strategically redesigned, serving as a rich architectural backdrop to sleek, modern touches such as radiant heated flooring and smart home capabilities throughout. The grand parlor floor, ideal for both formal entertaining and quiet reflection, offers soaring ceilings, exquisite natural light, and seamless flow into a bespoke kitchen. Outfitted with designer appliances and handcrafted cabinetry, the kitchen harmonizes beautifully with the home's refined material palette. The rear fenestration has been reshaped to allow ample south-facing sunlight to flood the home's interior. Large casements on the lower two levels provide access to the expansive garden. A new staircase and terrace with glass pavers, located directly off the kitchen level, connect the floors—ideal for entertaining. Throughout the residence, a curated collection of vintage and modern furnishings brings a layered, timeless elegance to every room. A discreet elevator services five levels of the home, from the garden to the top bedroom floor, ensuring both convenience and comfort. The full-floor primary suite is a private oasis with a spa-quality bath featuring a soaking tub and a large shower stall clad in marble slabs, custom dressing areas, and space for both rest and rejuvenation. Above are four additional bedrooms, though two rooms are presently configured as a fitness room and den. Two breathtaking artist skylights provide soaring ceiling heights and flood the spaces with unbelievable natural light—ideal as creative studios, bedrooms, or peaceful retreats. The excavated cellar is finished to the same high standards, providing flexible space for a gym, screening room, or playroom. Outdoors, the home is equally impressive: the south-facing garden, thoughtfully tiered and landscaped with mature plantings and irrigation, is a rare private haven for dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the tranquility of nature. Above, a picturesque roof deck sits nestled between two artist skylights, surrounded by colorful landscaping—offering a serene, elevated escape with open skies, village views, and a direct southern view of the Freedom Tower. From its grand proportions and rare 25-foot width, to its exceptional craftsmanship and sensitive architectural restoration, to its smart home features, this townhouse is a true one-of-a-kind in the West Village. Every detail has been considered. Every space, designed to inspire. ...
