Property Description for 66 Charles Street
Stunning Townhouse in the Heart of Greenwich Village
Located on one of the most picturesque tree lined Streets in the West Village, this sophisticated single family house is suffused with light, utterly private and serenely quiet. It has been exquisitely and completely re-built to the highest standards. Flawlessly executed, the home represents a multi-year collaboration between noted New York architect David Hottenroth, exquisite interiors by Alison Caccoma and master builder Hobbs Incorporated, one of the finest residential contractors in the country. Completed in May 2016, this home offers all that is exceptional about a Greenwich Village townhouse; quiet neighborhood life in your own individual home within the heart of New York City.
Behind a handsomely restored Italianate landmarked facade awaits a sensational light-filled residence that combines a clean, contemporary feel with classical architectural detail. The blend of old and new design genres, together with a naturally flowing distribution of space, is a work of art. The open double height parlor floor with sweeping dining and living rooms, and a south facing glass curtain wall, is as warm and inviting as it is visually dramatic. Exceptional features include a floating library, a fully equipped chef's kitchen adorned in honed Arabescato marble, a beautifully appointed peaceful full-floor master bedroom suite, 3 additional top floor bedrooms, 4 full bath s and 1 half bath all with Waterworks fixtures, fun mill-worked lower level sailor's bunks, a modern wine cellar, and a gracious sweeping staircase that is a signature element in many of David Hottenroth's richly character-laden Greenwich Village townhouses. In addition, there is a lovely roof garden for entertaining.
Every imaginable detail has been considered in this home's complete reconstruction. Designed for modern family living, each space has been thoughtfully proportioned and there is a graceful flow from room to room that offers a feeling of symmetry and balance throughout the house. While the many classic details give the house a graceful elegance, modern touches abound. Complementing the natural serenity of this amazing custom home are brand new mechanicals, as well as the latest in integrated systems for entertainment and lighting, custom mahogany landmark windows, Cheveron white oak flooring, and ravishing Venetian plaster, lacquer and decadent French deco inspired faux Shagreen finishes.
