Appointment must be confirmed prior to viewing.

Nestled on a picturesque, tree-lined street in Manhattan's East Village, this 20-foot-wide townhouse seamlessly blends historic charm with modern sophistication. Originally constructed in 1900, the home has been meticulously restored by renowned architect Annabelle Selldorf. Spanning over 5,200 square feet across four stories, the residence boasts a 35-foot-deep extension, reclaimed wide-plank floors, and abundant natural light through four exposures. Thoughtful details such as custom millwork by the artisans behind Soho House projects, central air, Citiquiet windows, and a massive lower level for storage or recreational space further enhance its appeal. The garden level offers remarkable versatility, currently configured as a private home office. With its own entrance, this space could also function as a two-bedroom, one-bathroom rental unit with a laundry room, well suited for additional income or multi-generational living. The living room flows effortlessly into a serene, bluestone-paved garden lined with lush landscaping, creating a private outdoor retreat.

On the parlor level, a beautifully crafted entrance hall with a built-out coat closet leads to a grand living and dining space. Anchored by a marble mantle fireplace and illuminated by crystal chandeliers from Kammer, the room transitions seamlessly into the kitchen-a haven for culinary enthusiasts. High-end Carrera marble spans the countertops and bar area, creating a stunning workspace for entertaining. The kitchen boasts a suite of Gaggenau appliances, including a stovetop, grill, teppanyaki, oven, convection oven, and dedicated ice maker. Additional luxuries include a Liebherr refrigerator, wine fridge, beer and beverage fridge, and a reverse osmosis water filtration system. This space is crowned by a chandelier from the historic Waldorf Astoria Hotel, originally installed during its construction, adding a touch of storied elegance to the heart of the home.

The third floor features three sunlit bedrooms arranged around a central skylight that bathes the space in natural light. A north-facing bedroom overlooks the charming streetscape of East 5th Street, while the central bedroom shares a marble-lined bathroom with Duravit fixtures, a soaking tub and a laundry room. The southernmost bedroom boasts three exposures, a Juliet balcony, and a private en suite bathroom.The fourth floor is dedicated entirely to the luxurious primary suite, a sanctuary of comfort and style. Double-pane windows flood the room with light while keeping it whisper-quiet, and a wood-burning fireplace adds a cozy touch. Vintage sconces from the Waldorf Astoria Hotel and a stunning 1970s chandelier by Jerre in the main bedroom enhance the space with timeless elegance. The en suite bathroom is a masterpiece, a clawfoot tub, dual vanities, and two showers. Adjacent to the suite, a sunlit private den with exposed beams and a Juliet balcony provides an idyllic setting for relaxation or reflection. A black marble powder room and a spiral staircase leading to the roof deck with treetop and downtown Manhattan view.

Located in Manhattan's vibrant East Village, this townhouse is nestled in a neighborhood renowned for its rich cultural history and eclectic atmosphere. The area boasts a diverse mix of restaurants, bars, and boutiques, reflecting its artistic heritage. Residents enjoy proximity to Tompkins Square Park, offering green spaces and community events.
