17 Minetta Street, TWHS

A modern take on a classic home unlike anything you're likely to find on a Charming Village Lane. This late 19th century townhouse places you right in the middle of the most exciting neighborhood in New York City; in the heart of Greenwich Village and just steps from Soho. Enjoy the peace and serenity of a European-style shared courtyard off a quiet and enchanting historic street where cars and pedestrians are infrequent. This home is perfect for the person looking for the ultimate New York experience but also desires privacy and security. A beautiful, gated rear entrance, lovingly landscaped with white flowering dogwood, purple rhododendron and astilbe, welcomes the owner into a private, quiet world. This townhouse is bathed in light from its unique three exposures and large, floor-to-ceiling sliding full height window walls not found in other townhouses of this vintage. A newly-completed comprehensive renovation by two of New York City’s leading architectural and design firms has created a chic, sophisticated entertainment and living space with three full bedroom suites, open chef’s kitchen and spa master bathroom. A beautiful, skylit staircase sweeping up three floors, creates an airy, loft-like aesthetic. Lefroy Brooks fixtures and Boffi soaking tub grace the master bathroom, where you can enjoy the charm of a working fireplace, one of seven throughout the home. The kitchen is kitted with a full complement of Sub Zero, Dacor and Viking top-of-the-line appliances. The newly installed floors are rift cut white oak. There is a gracious roof garden, ideal for entertaining or quiet relaxation, and a state-of-the art centralized audio-visual and security system. A separate street entrance provides discrete access to the garden level floor, perfect for office access or service entrance. This home was first structurally renovated in 1998/1999, thus plumbing, electricals and central heating and A/C are problem-free. Chic, sophisticated and serene living in the heart of Greenwich Village.
