This charming and historic 27' wide carriage house sits just west of Greenwich Street in the Far West Village. The house requires a complete renovation and is accompanied by fully approved and meticulously detailed plans by Studio MDA's Markus Dochantschi. The new design of nearly 10,000 square feet, seeks to marry the traditional restoration of a landmark district building with the many modern amenities equated with townhouse living. While aiming to restore the façade to its original 1911 aesthetic, including garage door and curb-cut, the plans also call for the addition of a setback penthouse floor with rooftop garden and fully built basement. The generous width of the building provides for exceptionally proportioned rooms in this four/five-bedroom single family home. The basement plan allows for a large gym, wine cellar, lounge, powder room and ample storage. The entrance gallery showcases the house's grand sweeping staircase, open from the basement through all floors of the house and up to the oversized skylight above. The ground floor also offers a number of desirable amenities including a single-car garage, dedicated service entrance, mud room, coat room/winter storage, staff bedroom, and a nearly-square 25' wide media/family room. The second floor encompasses a 24' x 24' living room, featuring a fireplace and high ceilings, and a separate formal dining room that doubles as a library. The balance of the second floor includes a separate butler's pantry, as well as a 23' x 21' eat-in kitchen stepping out onto a lush garden terrace. The third floor is home to three bedrooms with the potential to add a fourth bedroom. Currently, the floor has been configured for two children's bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and an oversized guest suite equipped with a full bathroom, including a steam shower, and walk-in closet, however the generous size of this suite allows for the easy division into two well-proportioned rooms. The master suite on the fourth floor is flanked by landscaped terraces on both ends along with his-and-her walk-in closets and a spa-master bathroom. Alternatively, the two bedroom floors have been designed for the flexibility of the master moving to the third floor, leaving the fourth floor open for either additional bedrooms or entertainment programming. Finally, a rear stair leads up to a 38' x 16' rooftop garden, with views of historic West Village landmarks. The house is thoughtfully designed; however personalized details can be easily incorporated. With a Landmarks approval in hand, the challenges of building a new home have been streamlined into a more manageable process.
