Enter the home from a classic stoop with wrought iron railings, welcoming you into this elegant house with soaring ten foot ceilings and original wood floors and details throughout. The parlor floor is flooded with sunlight from gorgeous, over-sized french windows and doors which open onto a limestone-tiled terrace flanked with planters and trees. The parlor floor living-room and library are filled with exquisite antiques, stunning art and two fireplaces.
Gorgeously bright and airy, the second and third floors are lit by a central skylight at the top of the stairs and have large east/west facing windows. The second floor has a peaceful study overlooking the garden which doubles as a bedroom and features a daybed and there's another large bedroom on this level with a huge walk in closet.

The West Village is known for its bohemian chic flares and is one of the most sought after neighborhoods in the city. Due to its quiet tree-lined streets and the trendy and stylish vibes, it is the perfect hideaway for many artists and celebrities. The West Village is a neighborhood of free spirited luxury.
West Village, a subdivision of the famous Greenwich Village neighborhood, can be found on the westside of Manhattan bordered by Houston street to the South, 6th Avenue to the East, 14th street to the North and the Hudson River on the West.
You'll find 19th century townhomes as well as cul-de-sacs and more recently some condominiums, though even these newer developments are small compared to the standard ones across the rest of the city. Off the grid system, the winding streets of the West Village are exciting, if not complicated, to explore. You'll get lost, but that's okay, because the streets are charming and lovely.
