CIRCA 1838 6500SQFT TOWNHOUSE An unrivaled Gold Coast 25 foot wide Greek Revival Townhouse built circa 1838 sits just off lower Fifth Avenue and north of the Arch at Washington Square. Special enough to have been published in "Private New York: Remarkable Residences" by Chippy Irvine! This home retains its genteel ambience; the timelessness of its historic era. In fact, you will find many of the original architectural details such as floor-to-ceiling windows, wood shutters, crown moldings, pillars, window entablatures and wood-burning fireplaces. Centrally located in Greenwich Village, this Townhouse offers a great opportunity to return it to its former single-family glory or as a turn-key investment property with five prime rental units. Either way, a superior investment. Private viewings by appointment. Parlor Floor: Enter the foyer and find a quaint powder room with brass and marble finishes just off the dining room. Both front and back parlors have been fitted with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves with rolling ladders from the Putnam Ladder Co. The living and dining rooms are generous and inviting--with 13ft high ceilings, original pillars and two wood-burning fireplaces. The windowed kitchen, located in the extended portion of the home, comes fully equipped with marble counters from the Manhattan Marble Co., custom wood cabinetry, a Miele oven range and hood from Gaggenau, a Sub-Zero refrigerator and light fixtures from Halo Halophane. Access the garden from both the kitchen and master bedroom (below). Garden Level: This level has a private entrance with a mudroom, tons of built-in closets and a washer and dryer. The rear master bedroom has beautifully maintained wide plank floors, four closets and an en-suite bathroom. Two sets of French doors lead out to over 1200sf of private outdoor space consisting of a new decked patio and a lush, brick-paved garden. The rear 2nd bedroom comfortably fits a full size bed and dresser. The front bedroom is currently used as an office with over-sized windows, two closets and visually striking wide plank floors. Adjacent to the office is a full second bathroom. 3rd Floor/Front Unit 3: Is a one bedroom one bath with high ceilings, a built-in library and wood-burning fireplace. Huge windows with original shutters allow southern light to enter the home. Unique wood-strip floors create a pattern that graces the entire space. The renovated open kitchen has stainless steel appliances and a mobile island. The bedroom fits a queen set and the bathroom is classically designed. 3rd Floor/Rear Unit 2: Is a one bedroom with beautiful northern views of the garden and an en-suite bathroom in basic condition.

Southern tree-lined street views. 5th Floor/Unit 5: This top floor, two bedroom two bathroom simplex, has been completely renovated. Enjoy the uniquely vaulted ceiling--up to 12ft at its apex--and a grand open kitchen with slate counter tops, stainless steel Kitchen Aid appliances, a walk-in pantry with skylight, and great storage. The rear master bedroom fits a king set and has a classic en-suite windowed bathroom. The front-facing 2nd bedroom fits a queen set and shares the vaulted ceiling character.
