Historic property in Greenwich Village
Comfortable elegance exudes from this historic Federal Greek Revival townhouse located in midtown Manhattan's Gold Coast corridor, on incomparable West 11th Street, Greenwich Village's most coveted enclave. This unique residence, circa 1850, has been completely renovated, juxtaposing its modern 21st-century design elements and amenities with the historic architectural details of its past. Designed for gracious living, the parlor floor, with its double-door entrance, welcomes guests into a spacious living room that faces south onto West 11th Street and features a wood-burning fireplace with original marble surround and walls displaying an extensive art collection. Rays of sunlight fill the house with radiance and tranquility. The formal dining room overlooks the spectacular two-storey atrium leading to the perennial garden. Designed for entertaining, the garden oasis is also accessible from the dining room via a contemporary staircase. According to Manhattan's Daytonian: The house was frequented over the decades by a circle of artistic friends including W.H. Auden, Philip Roth, neighbor Stanley Kunitz, Jules Feiffer and Mark Rothko. Renowned poets, politicians, artists and writers are among the many friends welcomed to this gracious indoor/outdoor lifestyle. The contemporary staircase leads to the upscale chef's kitchen. Modern features include a pantry, china cabinet and ample storage for large-scale entertaining. The glass-and-iron atrium includes French doors that open onto the beautiful two-level landscaped stone garden, complete with outdoor dining area, sitting area and grill. A separate entrance provides access to this level through a laundry/shop with built-in desk and ample cabinetry.
