Welcome to the garden floor at 23 Bethune Street, an exquisite West Village brick townhouse built around 1837. With two working fireplaces and its own private patio and lush private garden, this home is located on one of the most beautiful tree-lined blocks in the neighborhood on Bethune between Washington and Greenwich Street, just a block and a half from the lovely Hudson River Park. Enter the charming entry foyer leading to a beautifully appointed square living room with a massive wood-burning fireplace and century-old wide-board floors. Facing south, this room gets wonderful natural light and even has a bay window. Immediately, one is captivated by the handmade detail throughout this home. Century-old pine floors, original moldings, ornate mantels, plaster walls, and intricate wrought iron door and window shields are just some of the few romantic and picturesque details of this wonderful apartment. Truly an ode to its era, the historic details have been incredibly preserved. Grand in scale, the generous 16'2” x 15' master bedroom easily fits a king sized bed and much more. Not to mention this room has newly added recessed lighting and also includes a wood-burning fireplace with an original marble mantel. Adjacent to this room is a gorgeous renovated bathroom with classic subway tiling, a pedestal sink, brass hardware, and a deep soaking porcelain tub. The Provence-inspired kitchen with its magnificent detailed door to the patio features Verde Costa Esmeralda marble countertops, custom cabinetry, Travertine floors, and sun-drenched windows. Outside the patio is a postcard setting of New York City townhouse living with magnificent English ivy dangling from the walls. Past the patio is a separate 27 x 22' private garden that is the ultimate escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.
