Property Description
Boundless Beauty Rare opportunity to purchase a stunning single-family historic townhouse located on a treasured Village tree lined block, with private parking, and a separate guest cottage set in two verdant landscaped gardens. Bathed in sunlight, the property is a treasured oasis and a piece of history in the heart of the Village. Exquisitely restored and renovated to perfection combining original architectural details with a sophisticated modern design seamlessly crafted by a noted architectural firm. Behind the 1821 Federal fa ade a grand open double parlor room welcomes you as you enter the house. Ideal for entertaining this elegant room has 10 foot ceilings, two wood burning fireplaces with original mantles and stunning wide pine floorboards. Complementing this space is a custom wet bar, a powder room and floor to ceiling French windows and door that overlook a lovely garden. Below there is an inviting chef's kitchen with a wood burning fireplace and window seated dining area and doors that open onto the garden. The third floor is an elegant primary bedroom suite with a wood burning fireplace, dressing room/sitting room and beautiful windowed waterworks bath. The top floor has an additional large bedroom suite, family room with wood burning fireplace, skylights and another wonderful bath. From the garden of the main house, an unexpected path winds upward to the cottage and additional gardens. Magically placed in the garden with windows on three sides, this cottage offers a sanctuary to work or rest. There is also a kitchenette, and marble bath. A tiered patio outside is perfect for dining and reading amongst the holly, maple and apple trees, and hydrangeas. Private parking for two cars is accessed through a sliding barn door at the rear of the garden and the wall is canopied with beautiful mature purple wisteria. Bedford Street between Morton and Commerce was named after a street in London and was laid out before 1799. The street contains several of the oldest and most charming houses in the Village and continues to be one of the most desirable blocks in New York's Greenwich Village Historic Landmarked District. Once home to some of the city's most celebrated luminaries: Poet Edna St. Vincent Millay, the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for poetry lived in a house across the street, as did the cultural anthropologist, and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom Margaret Mead. Berenice Abbott, a pioneering figure in 20th century photography lived just around the corner.
