RESIDENCE Centrally located in the coveted Gold Coast of Greenwich Village and part of the 1880’s Portsmouth/Hampshire cooperative, this oversized one-bedroom residence offers a rare blend of scale, elegance, and timeless prewar charm. The cooperative is discreetly nestled along one of the Village’s most picturesque, tree-lined streets, surrounded by historic townhouses, and possessing an unmistakable sense of neighborhood character. This quintessential downtown New York residence is distinguished by two wood-burning fireplaces with classic marble mantels, rich hardwood floors, and oversized windows that frame and infuse this residence with plentiful light and a sense of warmth. A gracious entry foyer sets the tone for the home, leading you past a well-appointed kitchen and an inviting dining area—equally suited as a refined home office—before opening into a dramatic, oversized living room. Anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, this expansive space is ideal for both relaxed living and elegant entertaining. Bathed in natural light, the living room features south and west exposures and soaring 10-foot ceilings. Enchanting treetop views capture the essence of Village living with warm southern light streaming throughout the day and a hint of the top of the World Trade Center in the background. A 98-bottle wine refrigerator sits discreetly in one corner of the living room. The generously scaled bedroom is a serene retreat, offering dual exposures to the south and east, a second wood-burning fireplace, and a full wall of closets. A windowed bathroom with a deep soaking tub completes the home, providing a spa-like experience. A rare offering that embodies both the charm and sophistication of Greenwich Village living.
