An Architectural Legend in the Heart of Greenwich Village
Presenting 16 Minetta Lane, an "Architectural Legend" and a truly bespoke compound located in a protected, landmarked district of Greenwich Village. This one-of-a-kind trophy asset is a masterpiece of "Vertical Adventure and Artistic Sanctuary” spanning across 6 floors and approximately 5,200 square feet. This unique space features 6 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms.
Enter through Italian wrought iron gates, into a European like courtyard, which leads to the chef’s kitchen on the first floor featuring a 6-burner stove with a grill, a 48-inch double oven, premium stainless steel appliances, and a coveted kitchen fireplace for cooking. The custom design aesthetic pairs sleek marble counters with surfaces of reclaimed wood and timbers from the Hudson Valley. The entire compound operates with modern comforts, including motorized shades, a comprehensive security system, movable glass roof & doors providing seamless indoor/outdoor living. Enjoy your morning coffee in your open air courtyard featuring a unique outdoor shower.
Defined by its extraordinary and unique lifestyle amenities, the most dramatic feature is an 83-foot indoor/outdoor rock-climbing wall, seamlessly blending high-octane adventure with daily life. This vertical element is anchored by a breathtaking 2nd floor triple-height living room with soaring 23-foot ceilings and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows. Wood logs are artistically presented as a changeable art wall. Boundless amounts of light illuminate the home’s volume, which is further detailed with nine distinct fireplaces and serviced by a rare modern glass 3 sided elevator overlooking the rock climbing wall as you ascend.
The residence is the result of a deeply philosophical, nature-inspired vision. Conceived by architect Adam Kushner, the home’s narrative is inspired by the subterranean Minetta Brook that flows beneath the neighborhood. This connection to the earth is physically manifested in the use of sustainable elements, including reclaimed wood and integrated solar panels. The striking facade features a prominent Gothic arch and a modern steel-and-ivy exterior, all while respectfully preserving the building's original structure..
The Meditation Retreat on the third level offers a tranquil escape with its own fireplace and a grass-covered balcony, swing, and floor to ceiling accordion glass doors allowing outdoor/indoor space for relaxation.
The Fourth Floor is dedicated to two well-appointed secondary bedrooms with en-suite bath, providing ideal accommodations. The thoughtful layout provides private sanctuary on every level including South facing landings with 17’ floor to ceiling windows that can be used as a playroom, office, music room & more
The Primary Suite (Fifth Level) is a true retreat, featuring a wood-burning fireplace, a Juliet balcony with stunning Southern & Northern views including the Empire State building & Freedom tower, projector screen and an en-suite bath with an oversized glass shower.
Ascend to your rooftop oasis featuring 360 degree views of Manhattan spanning from The Empire State Building, The Village, down to the Freedom Tower. Enjoy evening sunset barbeques in your outdoor kitchen equipped with stainless steel appliances while watching your friends climb up the rock climbing wall to the landing deck.
Across the quiet courtyard, the Carriage House hosts a glass-encased fitness room on its top level, along with storage and a full en-suite guest suite. Finally, the Cellar transforms the original stone foundation into a cozy entertaining space that feels like a speakeasy with a corner wet bar, fireplace, and full bath, perfect for entertaining. There's also a dedicated laundry room and additional storage.
This compound is perfectly suited for those with a strong appreciation for high design, architecture, and sustainability. 16 Minetta Lane is the ideal sanctuary for adventurous, wellness-focused individuals.
