About This Home
Gut Renovated Passive Townhouse with Elevator and Four Outdoor Spaces
This stunning single-family home will dazzle you with its openness and luxury. Tall windows flood every floor with sunlight, and a double-height ceiling on the garden floor makes a striking impression. With four different outdoor spaces and a coveted location, this is a home that will bring you endless delight.
Baxt/Ingui, premier residential architects, completed a 3-year gut-renovation in 2016, giving this house not only new splendor, but state-of-the-art systems. This is a “passive house,” which means it has been completely sealed against drafts. As a result, you have an ultra-efficient, ecologically sound home which takes less energy and money to keep warm, while keeping out noise and pests. A sophisticated ventilation system tempers the fresh air that constantly flows into the house. Triple-glazed windows are “passive house” certified and landmark approved, preserving both warmth and elegance.
Garden Level:
An entertaining or family room greets you as you enter from beneath the stoop. In the rear, you’ll find a kitchen with a grand double-height ceiling, floor-to-ceiling windows with garden views, a wine refrigerator, top-of-the-line appliances (Subzero, Wolf, and Gaggenau), seating at a large center island, and plentiful storage. This floor also benefits from a convenient powder room, and a walk-in closet that could be used as a pantry. The kitchen leads to the garden, ideal for entertaining.
Parlour Level:
Enter a grand living room with eleven-foot ceilings from a newly restored, historically accurate stoop, and enjoy the dramatic open sightline to the rear of the townhouse. In the rear, you’ll find a light-filled dining room featuring a large custom chandelier and its own open staircase down to the kitchen. The floor-to-ceiling windows that cover the back wall afford generous sunlight and beautiful garden views.
Third Floor:
This entire floor is devoted to the primary suite. An enormous Bianco Carrara and Thassos marble primary bath with a soaking tub occupies the front of this level, separated from the bedroom by two adjoining walk-in closets. The grand primary bedroom features white oak floors, a wet bar, and a secluded reading nook in the back. French doors lead to your own private balcony overlooking the garden.
Fourth Floor:
Two bedrooms occupy this level, which could also be purposed as offices, studios, or dens. The front room has a wet bar, while the rear room leads out to a gorgeous private roof deck. Each room has its own closet and white oak floors. The two rooms share a Statuary marble full bath.
Fifth Floor:
This floor provides two more generous, full-sized bedrooms, each with their own full bath. If you have children, there will be no arguing over who has a larger or better bedroom! In the center of the floor, you have a secondary washer and dryer for added convenience.
Roof:
This roof deck is an exquisite space for entertaining. Enjoy a glass of wine as you take in the neighborhood from the top of your building. As a bonus, it’s even accessible via the elevator!
Cellar Level:
With its high ceilings, this finished basement could easily be a rec room or a gym. It hosts a laundry room, a powder room, and mechanicals and electrics. Between the four inches of insulation and vapor barrier beneath the floor, and the multiple sump pumps, you have remarkable control of the climate and humidity; warmth stays in, and moisture stays out.
