Property Description for 88 MacDougal Street

Rare, intimate, modern, and magical, do not miss a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to call this impeccably-designed and highly-coveted townhouse at 88 MacDougal Street home. The extraordinarily unique residence is a special piece of New York City in the Village's landmarked MacDougal-Sullivan Gardens Historic District. The recipient of a complete interior transformation, 88 MacDougal is the result of an extensive renovation; no detail was overlooked. The four dramatic loft-like floors, plus a windowed finished lower level, private garden and roof top deck, create the perfect combination of indoor and outdoor living.

Built in 1844 in the Greek Revival style, 88 MacDougal harmoniously intermingles contemporary luxuries (like a sleek stainless steel kitchen and central air conditioning) with rich touches of tradition that include high wood-beamed ceilings, huge windows on both sides, wood-burning fireplaces, hardwood floors and walls of built-in bookshelves. The sun-drenched ambiance flows throughout the home via the open, loft-like floors.

Upon entering this chic home, you can see the beautiful gardens straight through the loft-like floor with a 40 expanse and nearly 11 ceilings. Relax or entertain in front of your wood-burning fireplace in this spacious living room that glows with floods of light, courtesy of the front triple windows, and incredible rear casement doors that open directly to your private backyard complementing the indoor and outdoor living.




Parlor Floor
Venture up one flight where ceiling almost 12 high rise above another loft-like floor flooded in natural light. This grand parlor level includes the convenience of a powder room and kitchenette, a media area, and rows of built-in bookshelves highlighting the sophistication of the home.

The Master Suite
One flight up on third-floor is your master suite with its own private balcony and wood-burning fireplace. The master suite has rows of built-in closets, and en suite bath with a steam shower. Also on this level is a bonus room, ideal as a study or an extra bedroom, with an additional windowed bath complete with soaking tub.

Fourth Floor & Penthouse
The quiet fourth floor houses the remaining two bedrooms, each with an en suite bath and skylights, and a large sitting area (ideal as a library or media room). Ascend to the penthouse, where skylights greet you atop the stairs. Retractable shades open to reveal the glow of the private rooftop terrace, set against a backdrop of the citys sights, the perfect spot for cozy entertaining day or night.

The MacDougal-Sullivan Gardens Historic District is a time-honored, cherished, intimate enclave of 22 houses with a private shared garden on MacDougal and Sullivan Streets between Houston and Bleecker Streets in the always-classic, always-sought-after Village. The original homes built in the mid-1800s were purchased in 1920 by William Sloan Coffin, a director of the W. & J. Sloane Company, a furniture and rug retailer whose intention was to create a middle-class development. The renovation was complete by 1921, and the common garden by 1923. The homes were sold to individual owners in 1924, with the integrity maintained by the MacDougal-Sullivan Gardens Association. 88 MacDougal is truly a NYC treasure! This is a co-exclusive with The Modlin Group.

Quick Profile

Birthplace of beatniks, Greenwich Village has always been a neighborhood bursting with creativity, home to artists, poets, musicians and writers. There is a lot of foot traffic in the neighborhood, as it gives convenient access to many other neighborhoods. There are a lot of popular eateries on MacDougal Street and bars on Bleecker Street. The neighborhood has a bit of a college-town feel, due to the presence of NYU. There aren’t large chain stores here, so it isn’t really a mecca for shopaholics, but you can find interesting vintage stores and specialty boutiques.

Available housing is centered on pre-war walk-ups. You can find good deals on the quieter, tree-lined side streets, as opposed to the bustling avenues. There are pockets of brownstones and townhouses, some dating back to the early 19th century, throughout the neighborhood, as well. You will find more luxurious housing in the newer high-rise buildings on Park and Fifth Avenues.

Washington Square Park is the heart of the neighborhood. If you sit near the Arch and close your eyes, you might catch an echo of the music and social history of the Park, floating through the air. Greats like Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, and Paul Simon started their storied careers right here in Greenwich Village. Today, the Village is a celebration of diversity, where everyone is welcome.
