The modern staircase features dark wood and metal, along with a delicate woven leather railing detail. At the top of the first landing, you will find the inviting den/media room, anchored by a charming fireplace.

The rotating glass doors open to the terrace with a built-in banquet nestled under a greenery-filled trellis. Continuing from this room, past more bookshelves, a full bathroom, and a linen closet leads to the first of four bedrooms, featuring a large walk-in closet and a beautiful fireplace. The third floor features two well-appointed bedrooms, each with custom closets and shelving, as well as ensuite bathrooms. The north-facing bedroom overlooks serene townhouse gardens, while the south-facing bedroom enjoys treetop views of Downing Street.

It features custom-built closets, a wide hallway illuminated by skylights, and a luxurious primary bathroom with dual vanities, custom storage, radiant floor heating, and a glass-enclosed steam shower. But it's the beautiful fireplace and deep-soaking claw-foot tub that complete this room as a romantic sanctuary. The rooftop terrace is designed for exceptional outdoor living, with areas for sitting, dining, and entertaining amidst a garden, offering sweeping views of West Village rooftops and One World Trade Center. The outdoor kitchen includes a fridge, ice maker, and propane-fueled Ooni Koda pizza oven, while an electric retractable awning provides protection from the elements. The finished basement includes a thermo-regulated wine cellar laundry room, a vented washer and dryer, and a large cedar-lined closet for garment storage. This exceptional home also features modern comfort with a multi-zone temperature control system and a security camera system, along with an integrated Sonos sound system for high-quality audio throughout.
