One of Greenwich Villages most idyllic tree-lined blocks sets the perfect backdrop for this dramatic duplex penthouse home. Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, dramatic 17-foot ceilings and bright open views over the village gave architect, Andrew Wilkinson, an ideal canvas to curate this unique home, which was subsequently and prominently featured in Metropolitan Home. In keeping with the inspiration, all design elements are coordinated in a unified harmony that thoughtfully blends aesthetic and utilitarian elements seamlessly.
Entering through the foyer, height and light immediately take center stage. A straight staircase is tucked behind a wall of Shoji-screened closets. A Juliet balcony off the living space boasts views of the iconic Washington Square Arch, and a skylight adds additional light. The open kitchen and living space utilize consistent custom millwork that incorporates added storage into each functional element. The high-end kitchen, with polished granite countertops and backsplash, features a custom Northland refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, and Gaggenau cooktop and range. The reinforced flooring is paved over with natural stone tile, enhancing the spaces sense of light and serenity. A full bath on the first floor is replete with mosaic tiles and a Kohler vessel sink. Upstairs, the full-ceiling-height mezzanine bedroom has been further benefited by an extension of the floor area, adding significant space to the second level. A large walk-in closet and an additional full bath make this a truly enviable home.
This well-maintained, financially sound, and reasonable cooperative building has a live-in super, doorman, and laundry room on every floor. The location, in the heart of Greenwich Village, is truly the nexus of vibrant and hip downtown Manhattan. Along with the adjacent neighborhoods of NoHo, SoHo, and the West Village, the location offers some of the best cultural, culinary, entertainment, and shopping opportunities in the entire city. Incredibly accessible, the B/D/F/M/N/R/A/C/E and 2/3/6 subway lines are all in close proximity. While often claimed, this is an incredibly unique and special offering in a prime downtown locale.
