A rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind treasure in the sought-after West Village that offers an abundance of space and privacy, light and air, open views, and much coveted private outdoor space.

Perfect for morning yoga or sunset cocktails. Currently configured as three bedrooms, a library, three full bathrooms, and two half baths; this truly unique property takes on the feel and features of a private home. 31 huge tilt & turn windows frame the iconic downtown views to the south, east, and west like works of art, an ever-present visual gallery of this remarkable neighborhood. 5S (first level) is 3144+/- sf with four open exposures and 16 huge tilt & turn windows that fill the space with natural light. The 40’2” x 32’9” corner Living/Dining room retains much of its original character and details including a wood-burning fireplace and exposed beams and brick and offers stunning views of downtown Manhattan and Meatpacking District and easily accommodates several seating areas as well as a spacious dining area. The large open, eat-in kitchen has been fully customized with cherry cabinetry, Brazilian granite countertops, multiple sinks and islands, and top-of-the-line appliances including Subzero, Viking, Thor, and Samsung. Perhaps most notable about the kitchen other than its size, are the four huge windows with protected sunny views to the south and east. The library, lined with custom cherry cabinetry and bookshelves, is warm and welcoming and has exposed brick and open eastern views. There are two bedrooms on 5S, both with ensuite baths. The primary bedroom also has a fireplace and a walk-in closet plus a wall of closets, additional built-ins, and two huge windows with east and north exposures.
