135 West 77th Street is a nearly miraculous townhouse. Behind this Renaissance Revival facade, each detail is thoughtful, sturdy, and elegant, eschewing trends to discover the ineffable qualities that make a home timeless. At over 7,000 square feet and spanning five floors with multiple outdoor spaces and a fully finished basement, each aspect is intentional and executed to the highest standard. From relaxed to formal, and grand to intimate, 135 West 77th Street encompasses the totality of what can, and should be, found in a home. Enter up the stoop through the formal entryway to the parlor where ceilings nearly 12' high create airiness and volume. You'll notice details like the original decoration on the foyer ceiling, a reminder of its 19th century provenance; the precise crown moulding on each of the walls; and the patterned wood paneling creating structure and order. At the front of the house there is the formal dining room, looking toward the trees on 77th Street with oversized windows and illuminated by walls treated with pitted marmarinon plaster with an applied iridescent bronze glaze. At the rear of the house is the living room, a grand, welcoming space whose walls are finished in waxed Venetian plaster. Here, you'll find the first of four working fireplaces; all the mantels are custom marble mantels from Jamb. A private terrace, a stately wood paneled wet bar, and a windowed powder room (discreetly hidden behind the wood paneling) make this ideal for entertaining. The garden level is the natural heart of the home, with its massive eat-in kitchen, secondary dining room with a skylight, and immaculately landscaped garden. Wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling casement windows create an indoor/outdoor illusion and brighten the space. The kitchen is a showstopper with long glassos countertops, an enormous quartzite island with bar seating for four, endless wood cabinetry for storage, and a premium appliance package from Sub-Zero, Miele and Thermador. The garden is perfectly appointed. It includes a grill with prep space and storage; a dedicated dining area; a variety of trees, flowers, and planters; and stone pavers. It is functional, peaceful, and private. The third floor of the house has 10.5' ceilings and is dedicated to the principal bedroom suite. The spacious bedroom includes a windowed dressing room, a marble fireplace, and an en-suite bathroom. The walls are finished with waxed Venetian plaster. The bathroom includes marble slab along the floors, walls and counters; a soaking tub and hardware from Waterworks; a double vanity; heated floors; a rain shower; and plenty of built-out closet space. Across the hall is the library, which can function as either a standalone space or a natural extension of the suite. Large bay windows, another marble fireplace, grasscloth wallpaper, and built-in bookshelves make this a bright and serene room. There is a large walk-in closet for overflow from the bedroom. The fourth floor contains two of the secondary bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a flexible space currently used as a kids' playroom. Each of the bedrooms is quite oversized and includes plenty of closet space; the north-facing bedroom has a private terrace overlooking the garden. Each of the bathrooms is equipped with large stone vanities, plenty of storage, and premium hardware. The playroom is a perfect shared space for art projects, homework, or office work. With 11-foot ceilings, the fifth floor has an additional bedroom, an adjacent full bathroom, a flexible space currently used as a media room and gym, and a midnight kitchen. The king-sized bedroom has three built-out closets; there are three additional extra-large closets in the hallway. The bathroom is appointed with premium stone and hardware, and has a large vanity with plenty of storage. You'll find the fourth and final fireplace in the media room, in addition to large south-facing windows, built-in bookshelves, and a reading nook. This room has a skylit midnight kitchen, making it ideal as a guest suite or secondary lounge space. The basement is full-height and completely done. In addition to a full bathroom and a staff room, there is an expansive laundry room with a sink and two sets of washer/dryers, and 8 built-out closets. Finally, the home has 8 zones of heating and cooling, an alarm and Nest system, and a wireless Sonos sound system. 77th Street between Amsterdam and Columbus is a quiet, tree-lined block ideally positioned between Central Park and Riverside Park, with The Natural History Museum just around the corner.

55 West Ninth Street, a 22 feet wide townhouse built in 1840, is located in the heart of the historic West Village on a charming tree lined street but close to absolutely everything. Four-stories tall (with a finished basement in addition) and trimmed in brownstone with classical restraint, its façade was meticulously restored by architect Jean-Gabriel Neukomm. The original cornice and repointed bricks remain, while everything else—from the stoop to the window surrounds—was recreated with precision by master craftsmen. Every system in the house has been modernized and upgraded, including central AC, sound and security systems. That authenticity of the facade inspired the interior architecture, resulting in classical and modern design: French luxury meets New York chic in details such as a Louis XVI fireplace, bespoke marble mantels, beaux-arts–inspired moldings, high ceilings throughout and chevron-laid oak floors reminiscent of Haussmann’s Paris. The sweeping staircase and moldings, based on Beaux Arts design, anchor the interiors with quiet grandeur. At the parlor level, the home’s grand proportions are evident. The living room is both stately and inviting. High ceilings, generous windows, and meticulously researched beaux-arts moldings give the space a timeless athmopshere, while chevron-laid oak floors contribute warmth and texture. Adjacent to the living room is the library with a charming terrace overlooking the landscaped garden below. The library and living room flow gracefully allowing for the feeling of a very large entertaining space, or two more intimate spaces. The library's beautiful wood-burning fireplace with a finely carved Louis XVI mantel gives the room a sense of gravitas. Just off the library is a charming reading room which opens to the terrace. The top floor is reserved entirely for the luxurious primary suite, conceived as a private retreat. The skylit marble bathroom, inspired by Paul Dupré-Lafon’s refined interiors, is an architectural centerpiece. The bedroom has a working gas fireplace and a lovely sitting area. There are two very large, beautifully fitted out closets. In addition to the top-floor primary suite, the townhouse offers two large secondary bedrooms as well as two smaller bedrooms on the 3rd floor. Generously scaled and filled with natural light, these rooms are beautifully decorated now, but also allow for flexibility of use. Currently there is one large bathroom on this floor, but another can easily be added. On the garden level is an additional lovely bedroom with a full bath, a powder room and an impressively designed chef's eat-in kitchen. One side of the kitchen is anchored by a dramatic, 30-foot wall of full-height cabinetry/concealed storage that allows the opposite wall, clad in a continuous sweep of Calacatta gold marble, to remain strikingly unbroken. The effect is serene and sculptural: a kitchen that feels less like an architectural statement but also functions well. At its center, the Lacanche range commands attention. Handcrafted in Burgundy and clad in enamel and stainless steel, it offers professional-grade function with a presence that feels timeless. A large farmhouse table is the center of the kitchen with a family room sitting area at the garden end of the room. The finished basement is as nice as the rest of the house and has a wonderful laundry as well as extensive storage. Beyond the interior, Miranda Brooks has designed a two-tiered garden. The dining terrace opens with a Donald Judd–inspired table and chairs, while the raised rear recalls the gardens of the Palais Royal, complete with boxwood columns, white gravel, woven hazel fencing, and pleached Judas trees that burst into pink bloom each spring. 55 West 9th provides a level of detail and quality in construction that is next to impossible to find. It is chic and fun and cool while also being cheerful and sunny and practical. The location and the house are perfection.
