Historic elegance meets modern sophistication in this magnificent, impeccably gut-renovated 25-foot wide, 5-story mansion located in the vibrant East Village. Erected circa 1840, the building since served as a parsonage for St. Mark's Evangelical Lutheran Church, and later became home of a radical press, commune, the world's first macrobiotic restaurant, a coffee shop, and a bookstore/hangout for poets and creatives. The house's uniquely incredible history was recently written up in an article in the NY Times and celebrated with a song cycle. More recently the 7,500 square foot jewel was meticulously restored and transformed into a prized single-family residence with 5 stories of stunning living space connected by stairs and an elevator, an additional full basement, and generous outdoor space with a parlor floor terrace, third floor balcony, remarkable rooftop terrace and a sunny south-facing garden.

Next comes two large inviting chairs facing a wood-burning fireplace and finally a well-appointed chef's kitchen and adjacent eat-in area with doors opening to the garden. The floor has open wood beams and reminds of the history of the house as an intimate restaurant and bookstore.

The entire ground floor looks out through a south-facing wall of glass to the architect-designed garden.
