Description

This rare and meticulously restored triple parlor residence is located within a landmarked 19th-century townhouse on one of the most picturesque tree-lined blocks in the East Village and features grand-scaled rooms, ornate period details and a sense of timeless elegance that will take your breath away! Enter to an impressive double living room with soaring 12-foot ceilings, rough hewn wide-plank floors and textured lime-washed walls finished in an earthy ochre hue. Bright southern light pours in through floor-to-ceiling windows highlighting original architectural details including carved marble mantles, intricate plasterwork with floral leaf and scroll motifs, classic crown and dentil moldings and a dramatic archway with sculpted corbels. The original wrought-iron balcony and beautifully restored woodwork, including baseboards, pocket shutters, doors, and frames, further enhance the home's historic character.

Just off the living room, double doors lead to a windowed, European-style kitchen equipped with stone countertops, custom cabinetry and premium Bosch and Gaggenau appliances. Beyond the great room, etched-glass pocket doors open to a spacious bedroom with a separate sitting area, original cupboard closets and a thoughtfully designed bathroom. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the room with natural light and provide direct access to a private decked terrace with stairs leading down to a lush, landscaped shared garden with mature trees, perennial flowers and birdsong echoing in the distance. Absolutely sublime! Every inch of this enchanted home has been carefully curated with history, luxury and comfort in mind. Truly one-of-a-kind!

Built in 1856 and located within the St. Marks Historic District, this four-story Italianate townhouse is part of a pet-friendly, 29-unit cooperative spanning six buildings. Amenities include a live-in superintendent, basement storage (available for rent), and a stunning 133-foot landscaped common garden-an oasis in the heart of downtown Manhattan.

Ideally situated just moments from the East Village's top restaurants, cafés, and boutiques, this exceptional home offers both charm and convenience in one of the city's most coveted neighborhoods.
