Behind the immaculately restored red brick facade of this approximately 175-year-old Greek Revival townhouse in New York’s Greenwich Village quietly beats the state-of-the-art heart of a modern home discreetly fitted with a slate of cutting-edge luxuries and technologies.
Set on a 109-foot-deep lot on a tree-lined block of West 11th Street, the residence stands five stories tall (plus a finished basement) and over 22 feet wide with over 6,600 square feet of living space. Its floor plan reveals a host of coveted features, including a landscaped backyard, a custom wine cellar, seven fireplaces, and a rooftop deck with blue skies overhead.

The kitchen was designed by Plain English.
