Description

In the heart of Greenwich Village, where Manhattan’s storied past meets the pulse of modern design, this masterfully reimagined 25-foot-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 home’s scale and elegance, providing a striking visual connection between the street-level entrance and the restored parlor floor above. Balancing traditional townhouse design with modern interventions, this level showcases large crown moldings, Versailles wood flooring, pocket shutters, detailed door casings, and antique marble mantels with four functional wood-burning fireplaces. These elements serve as a rich architectural backdrop to sleek modern enhancements, including radiant heated flooring and smart home technology throughout. The grand parlor floor, ideal for both formal entertaining and quiet reflection, boasts 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 reimagined rear fenestration allows abundant south-facing light to flood the interiors. Expansive casement windows on the lower levels open to the garden, while a new staircase and terrace with glass pavers, directly off the kitchen, connect the outdoor and indoor spaces for effortless entertaining. A curated collection of vintage and modern furnishings enhances every room with layered, timeless elegance. A discreet elevator services five levels, from the garden to the top bedroom floor, ensuring both comfort and convenience. The full-floor primary suite is a private sanctuary featuring a spa-like bath with a soaking tub and large marble-clad shower, custom dressing areas, and abundant space for rest and rejuvenation. Above are four additional bedrooms, two of which are currently configured as a fitness room and den. Two breathtaking artist skylights create dramatic ceiling heights and flood the spaces with extraordinary natural light, making them ideal for creative studios, bedrooms, or tranquil retreats. The excavated cellar is finished to the same impeccable standards, offering versatile space for a gym, screening room, or playroom. Outdoors, the home is equally remarkable. The south-facing garden is thoughtfully tiered and landscaped with mature plantings and irrigation, offering a rare private haven for dining, entertaining, or quiet enjoyment. Above, a picturesque roof deck sits between two artist skylights, surrounded by colorful landscaping and framing open skies, village vistas, and a direct southern view of the Freedom Tower.
