Luxury Penthouse for sale in New York, New York

This property was featured in THE NEW YORK TIMES ‘Big Deal’ February 21, 2010 This unusually wide almost 6,000 sq. ft. 5 story classic house on a pretty tree lined street is currently configured as an owner’s dramatic duplex with 4 renovated free market apartments which command high rents. Built in 1855 as one of a row of eight elegant brick houses, the exterior has been painstakingly restored. The intricate cast iron railings, the high stoop and the gracious Italianate details capture the essence of 19th century Greenwich Village. The ceiling height in the owner’s duplex is over 17’ – an art collector’s dream! The entire South facing facade has been replaced by a gigantic wall of windows overlooking the gorgeous bi-level landscaped garden with a fountain, waterfall and a custom built aviary which is alive with bathing and migrating birds. The garden level of the duplex has its own spacious entrance, a large living room/office, kitchenette and bathroom. It would be perfect for professional use. Throughout the duplex are acres of storage in the many custom built closets and in the 4’ crawl space that runs under the duplex. Above the owner’s duplex is a renovated floor thru with a large terrace. On the fourth floor there are two one bedroom apartments and on the 5th floor is the stunningly renovated penthouse with two terraces. Due to its sophisticated design with sliding closets, the apartment can be configured as one or two bedrooms. With the original sweeping staircase, seven working fireplaces with beautifully carved marble antique mantels, and three Pier mirrors the house harkens back to an earlier era. Lastly the decorative frieze in the hallway and in some of the rooms is the most ornate you will ever see. LIVE WITH HIGH INCOME OR CONVERT TO A MAGNIFICENT SINGLE FAMILY HOME.
