48 Jane Street

Built in 1846, this sun filled grand scale 22.5-foot-wide house has been beautifully and thoughtfully transformed by noted architectural firm Fairfax and Sammons creating a home that is open, inviting, and honors the classic elements of the past in a contemporary and open manner.

Number 48 is in the middle of a long row of handsome Greek Revival houses. All seven houses were built together by expert craftsmen within a year of one another giving the tree lined block a warm and intimate scale.

Every floor has beautiful and generously scaled rooms. There are stunning custom walnut floorboards, doors, newel post and banisters throughout the house.

A gracious entry hall greets you as you enter and the light from the view of the garden in the distance draws you into the house.

The open entertaining parlor floor offers a living room with full length windows overlooking Jane Street, elegant Greek Revival moldings and a white Carrera marble mantled wood-burning fireplace. A dining room with twin marble mantle, and a fabulous modern chefs' kitchen with 3 skylights, Pietra Cardoza counters, and steel casement windows overlooks and leads to the garden. There is also a powder room and pantry on this level.

The garden level offers a large landscaped private south garden that opens seamlessly from the family room with gas fireplace, office area, a half bath and at the front of the house there is a separate bedroom suite with full bath and a private entrance from street.

A full cellar with stone floor has ample storage. There is 5 zone central air conditioning throughout the house.

Two large bedrooms with marble and wood mantles, and one smaller bedroom, a full bath with Jacuzzi, and a laundry room comprise the third floor.

Above a full floor primary bedroom suite awaits. In addition to the floors, all doors, window and door casings on this level are a rich walnut adding depth and luxury. An expansive bedroom with dramatic high vaulted ceilings, wood burning fireplace and tree top views is at the north side of the house, a dressing room with custom maple cabinetry is in the center, and a wonderful bath with free standing clawfoot tub, and skylit shower, and a separate windowed study with wonderful built ins on the south side of the house. An elegant skylight at the top of the stair bathes the house in light.

Jane Street is part of the Landmarked Greenwich Village Historic District. Moments from the charming Jane Street Community Garden on the corner, and a few short blocks from the Hudson River Park, The High Line, The Whitney Museum, The Meatpacking District and all the charms of The West Village.
