About This Property
This rare and meticulously restored triple parlor residence is located within a landmarked 19th-century townhouse on one of the most picturesque tree-lined blocks in the East Village and features grand-scaled rooms, ornate period details and a sense of timeless elegance that will take your breath away! Enter to an impressive double living room with soaring 12-foot ceilings, rough hewn wide-plank floors and textured lime-washed walls finished in an earthy ochre hue. Bright southern light pours in through floor-to-ceiling windows highlighting original architectural details including carved marble mantles, intricate plasterwork with floral leaf and scroll motifs, classic crown and dentil moldings and a dramatic archway with sculpted corbels. The original wrought-iron balcony and beautifully restored woodwork, including baseboards, pocket shutters, doors, and frames, further enhance the home's historic character.
Just off the living room, double doors lead to a windowed, European-style kitchen equipped with stone countertops, custom cabinetry and premium Bosch and Gaggenau appliances. Beyond the great room, etched-glass pocket doors open to a spacious bedroom with a separate sitting area, original cupboard closets and a thoughtfully designed bathroom. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the room with natural light and provide direct access to a private decked terrace with stairs leading down to a lush, landscaped shared garden with mature trees, perennial flowers and birdsong echoing in the distance. Absolutely sublime! Every inch of this enchanted home has been carefully curated with history, luxury and comfort in mind. Truly one-of-a-kind!
Built in 1856 and located within the St. Marks Historic District, this four-story Italianate townhouse is part of a pet-friendly, 29-unit cooperative spanning six buildings. Amenities include a live-in superintendent, basement storage (available for rent), and a stunning 133-foot landscaped common garden-an oasis in the heart of downtown Manhattan.
Ideally situated just moments from the East Village's top restaurants, cafés, and boutiques, this exceptional home offers both charm and convenience in one of the city's most coveted neighborhoods.
No smoking and no pied-à-terre's permitted. Shown by appointment only.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Brown Harris Stevens Residential Sales LLC.
The double living room has 12-foot ceilings, wide-plank floors that are rough hewn, and walls finished in an ochre lime wash, and it's the room where the 1856 Italianate townhouse shows its age most clearly. Carved marble mantles, plasterwork with leaf and scroll motifs, and an archway with sculpted corbels add to the period character, and the apartment sits within the St. Marks Historic District.
Light comes from the south. The floor-to-ceiling windows bring in direct sun, and a south-facing window with an open horizon can get about 8.5 hours of direct sun on the winter solstice and about 10 hours at the equinoxes. Nearby buildings can block some of that.
The kitchen is a windowed, European-style room just off the living room. It has stone countertops, custom cabinetry, and Bosch and Gaggenau appliances, along with a dishwasher. Double doors connect it to the living room, so it can stay separate when you want it to.
Past the living room, etched-glass pocket doors open to the bedroom, which has a separate sitting area and original cupboard closets. The bedroom's floor-to-ceiling windows open onto a private decked terrace of over 60 square feet, and steps run down from the terrace to the landscaped garden below. It's the kind of outdoor space you'll use most in warm weather.
Westside Market is about two minutes away on foot, and Stuyvesant Square is about seven. The Astor Place station on the 6 train is about four minutes on foot. Pets are allowed, and the building has a live-in superintendent. Because this is a co-op, the board's review is part of the buying process, so your broker or an attorney can walk you through those specifics.
