This massive living room with 10'8' ceilings is enhanced by an oversized limestone mantle fireplace and a pair of steel casement-style French doors offering garden views and leading out to a terrace running the width of the house. Through another stylish wet bar is a gorgeous library or dining room trimmed with leather wrapped wallpaper by Ralph Lauren and custom walnut millwork.

A skylit top floor includes a wonderfully bright media room outfitted with a small kitchen with a sink, dishwasher, built-in espresso machine and small refrigerator.

122 West Washington Plac   (Click address for more details)
Listing #: 22315234
Price: $7,750,000
Floors: 4
Approx Sq Ft: 3,570
Nghbd: West Village
Located on a quiet, tree-lined street with one of the West Village's last unbroken rows of historic townhouses, 122 Washington Place was renovated by the late Scottish model and fashion designer Stella Tennant who added an extension and atrium to the rear of the house that allows sunlight to stream into the dining room and kitchen through a south-facing exposure with leafy garden views.

This charming Federal-style townhouse offers approximately 3,600 square feet of indoor space, a private garden, and a roof deck with views of the Lower Manhattan skyline. Configured as a triplex over a garden apartment, the building can easily be converted to a single-family home or left as is with the spacious garden apartment available to be used as a home office, guest quarters, or rental apartment.

The building features spacious interiors and high ceilings with natural light entering from a skylight above the stairwell, four working fireplaces with stone mantles, and hardwood floors throughout. There are five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and a half bath on the parlor floor. The HVAC system is controlled by Nest thermostats, and the boiler and hot water tanks were all installed within the last five years. The kitchen features a Viking stove, a Sub Zero refrigerator, and a Miele dishwasher.
