A Singular Indoor-Outdoor Residence in the East Village
Set within an intimate four-residence condominium near Stuyvesant Square and Union Square, this exceptional triplex offers the scale and privacy of a townhouse with the convenience of condominium living. Featured in Elle Décor and conceived with an emphasis on flexible living and seamless indoor-outdoor connection, the residence spans three levels and includes two bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, two retractable glass walls, and a private landscaped garden with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen.
The main level begins with a gracious entry foyer, which can also function as a quiet home office. Beyond, an exposed-brick gallery lined with generous coat closets and a full bathroom leads to the expansive eat-in kitchen. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the kitchen features a substantial center island, white stone countertops, custom cabinetry, and a suite of Viking appliances.
At the rear of the home, a retractable garage-style glass wall opens completely to the private garden, creating a remarkable extension of the interior living space. The garden offers multiple areas for dining and lounging, along with a decorative fireplace and a covered outdoor kitchen equipped with a built-in grill, sink, refrigerator, and storage.
The upper level is anchored by a dramatic living room with approximately 12-foot ceilings and a decorative fireplace. A second retractable glass wall opens the room to the streetscape, transforming it into a loggia-like entertaining space.
The primary suite is positioned privately at the opposite end of the floor and combines oversized sash windows with exposed brick, beamed ceilings, and a serene en-suite bathroom. The bathroom is appointed with a floating double vanity and an oversized rainfall shower. A powder room, in-unit washer and dryer, three additional closets, and a flexible bonus room-well suited as a nursery, library, den, or home office-complete this level.
The lower level is distinguished by an exposed stone wall and direct access to a private terrace that connects to the garden above. This versatile space can accommodate a guest suite, media room, fitness studio, or additional living area. Further details throughout the residence include poured-concrete floors, abundant storage, and keyless entry.

Quick Profile
The East Village has two distinct moods. By day, it is quiet and peaceful. Everyone is out and about, either working or relaxing at Tompkins Square Park, strolling or jogging along the East River, or hanging out in one of the subsets of cultural activity, such as St. Mark’s Place.
But then night falls, and the East Village comes to life, keeping the entertainment and nightlife going long after the other neighborhoods have called it quits for the night. People from all five boroughs flock to the dive bars and speakeasies, head for their favorite cafes and restaurants, or drop in to a music venue to listen to hot tunes or cool jazz and dance the night away. Don’t worry, you don’t have to “know somebody” to gain admittance to even the most popular venues. You won’t find velvet ropes, bouncers, or and a waiting list at the door of most places. Just walk right in and enjoy yourself.
Be prepared for the increased population during fall through spring, when NYU is in session. College students will be everywhere, contributing to the youthful essense of the neighborhood.
