House: 114 West 13th Street

Located in the heart of Greenwich Village, 114 West 13th Street is a just under 21’-wide, Greek Revival townhouse that sits on a row of four other single-family homes and on a street replete with townhouse charm.

At four stories with a finished basement, this stunning townhouse blends modern luxury with historic detail. Fully rebuilt with the most up to date mechanicals and structural systems, careful reverence was paid to the historic elements of the c.1848 details. This home can be entered from the large forecourt at street level, which leads to a mudroom, sitting area and kitchen level, or through the grand stoop entry, which leads to the magnificent triple parlor floor with approximately 11.5’ ceilings.

There are four gracious bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms, including a full-floor master suite with two walk-in closets, a Lefroy Brooks and Waterworks marble bathroom with steam shower and soaking tub, and a separate office/sitting room that leads to a private deck overlooking the lush townhouse gardens.

The garden is approximately 40-feet deep and features a gas barbeque, mature landscaping, and great entertaining space. Adjacent to this peaceful and private space is the eat-in chef’s kitchen. Accessible through beautiful french doors, the kitchen features generous cabinet and counter space and a large pantry. Below, the basement is excavated and currently used as a playroom, gym, and additional sleeping quarters. This floor has full height and great storage.

The Parlor floor epitomizes New York City townhouse living. The grand ceiling heights, full-height French doors at front, and large doors leading to a terrace in the rear allow ample light to flood through the home all day long. Two marble mantles, crown molding, and a picturesque marble inlaid foyer floor that leads to the custom newel post and wooden rosette stair create an unmistakable townhouse ambiance. At the rear of this level is a comfortable sitting room/library or bar, which can be made private from the rest of the home and direct access to the garden by an exterior stair.

114 West 13th Street is central to all things great about downtown Manhattan. A parking garage is located diagonally across the street, the markets and shops along Sixth and Seventh Avenue are steps away, and public transportation on 14th Street provides easy access to all of New York City. It’s an easy walk to the Hudson River waterfront, Union Square, Washington Square Park, and West Village, surrounding this home with the best of New York.
