Bountiful Elegance. Located on the most desirable block in Greenwich Village, this extraordinary single family home offers everything one dreams of in a Village house. Celebrated West Village Block, exquisite scale, flawless condition, suffused with light, three south facing terraces and tamed landscaped gardens both north and south. This is a singular and exceptional offering.
Bathed in sunlight this gloriously sunny home was designed by noted architect Basil Walter and is an enchanting mix of grand and practical; open plan and intimate; English and American; distinguished and whimsical. Very rare is the intelligence and warmth that has gone into its creation.
As you enter thru the front garden and up the stoop you are welcomed into a fabulous grand open parlor with wood burning fireplace and floor to ceiling windows and doors that open onto the south facing terrace overlooking the garden. On this floor there is also formal entry hall, closets, a powder room and a stunning sitting room lined with seventeenth-century wood paneling and floor to ceiling windows overlooking the tree-lined street. An extraordinary feature of the house is the fabulous sweeping elliptical stair that bathes the house in light from above and creates a graceful flow throughout.
The garden level offers a family room overlooking the front garden, an inviting dining room and delightful family chef's kitchen with a wall of glass doors opening onto the verdant south facing garden.
On the upper floors there is a divine and peaceful master suite with a wood burning fireplace and a wonderful south terrace, 3 marvelous bedrooms and 2 additional baths.

West Village | Manhattan
Quick Profile
Known for its high-end shopping on Bleecker Street, the elegant brownstones dating back to colonial times that have been depicted in films and television, the abundance of cafes, and its celebrity residents, the West Village neighborhood is what springs to mind when you think of the essence of New York City. This is a neighborhood where the pace of life is less hurried, and harried, than in other neighborhoods, exuding an understated elegance and naturally beautiful sophistication and charm.
The West Village has something to offer everyone, whether your taste runs to designer goods and trend-setting restaurants, or you are happier browsing thrift stores and whiling away the hours in conversation with friends at a hole-in-the-wall coffee shop. There are public green spaces dotted throughout this neighborhood, where you can stop and commune with nature, or grab a bite to eat from a local deli or cafe and have a picnic. The Hudson River Park offers recreational opportunities and events for all ages.
There is a tradition of bohemian non-conformity attached to the West Village. Even the intimate, tree-lined, and sometimes cobblestoned, streets refuse to conform to the grid layout of the rest of Manhattan. Activism and social consciousness have always been hallmarks of this neighborhood. The neighborhood is diverse and accepting of all. You will find artistic venues and experimental theater, together with a broad spectrum of bars, including speakeasies, and restaurants featuring myriad cuisines.
The West Village is primarily residential, conspicuously lacking the high-rise office buildings that characterize other neighborhoods. This lends an air of quiet sophistication during the day. At night, the area becomes more lively, as residents frequent their favorite restaurants, theaters, cafes, and gastropubs. Housing consists of brownstones dating back to the 18th century, low-rise walk-ups, townhouses, artists lofts, and condos in renovated buildings. Newer high-rise residential buildings are cropping up along the Hudson River. Always popular with celebrities and artistic types, the West Village is now attracting families and young professionals in the tech and financial fields.
