Short Term Furnished Townhouse in Prime West Village

AVAILABLE FURNISHED JULY 12 – SEPTEMBER 3. Built in 1842, 749 Washington is a fully furnished four-story Greek Revival townhouse that has been expertly restored and renovated. This stately home features 4-bedrooms, 3-bathrooms and 2 powder rooms and exemplifies an elegant blend of historically authentic elements like restored fireplaces, doors, and windows; reproduction period carpeting; and modern amenities like a fully equipped alarm system; zoned central air; wine storage; an integrated Bluetooth sound system; and a laundry room on the top floor with a Washer/Dryer for convenience.

The parlor level boasts a spacious living room anchored by a striking black and gold marble fireplace mantel. The formal dining room is adorned with period landscape wallpaper by Zuber & Cie depicting Manhattan in 1834 and a passthrough butler’s pantry with a manually operated dumbwaiter for easy transport between parlor level and kitchen, conveniently located between the two rooms for a seamless hosting experience.

The garden level boasts a chef’s kitchen complete with a Garland six-burner plus grill gas cooktop; two Viking electric ovens, microwave, toaster oven, and a Miele dishwasher. This room features a black stone-topped center kitchen island with a farmhouse-style divided sink and counter seats; French limestone checkerboard floors; custom kitchen cabinets and a walk-in pantry closet.

There is an additional dining table in the kitchen looking out through three windows to a peaceful backyard lushly planted in summer with a fountain and dining table by Le Carre’. There is also a furnished, sunny roof terrace with picturesque views of the West Village. The exterior renovation of the house was given the Front Stoop Award by The Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation in 1998, and the house is one of twenty homes and public buildings featured in The Houses of Greenwich Village, by Kevin D. Murphy (Abrams, 2008).

749 Washington is situated on a quiet, townhouse-lined block within the Greenwich Village Historic District, four blocks south of the Whitney Museum and the Chelsea High Line. It sits adjacent to the former home and studio of Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein, which is now the home of the Whitney Museum’s Independent Study Program.

The house is walking distance from the best restaurants, parks, and cultural attractions in the area and nearby various subway lines including the 1/2/3/A/C/E/L trains.
