763 Greenwich Street: An Everlasting Masterwork of the West Village
Located in the centre of the highly sought-after West Village, 763 Greenwich Street is a stunning example of architecture that successfully combines Greek Revival style with contemporary finesse. A star on Architectural Digest's AD100 list, Stephen Gambrel perfectly restored this townhouse, which radiates elegance across its five painstakingly planned floors. Let's take a deeper look at what makes this house so special.
With its distinctive Greek Revival characteristics, the townhouse's attractive brick façade draws your attention as soon as you enter. The graceful double doors and raised stoop, which have a transom window on top, lead to the grand parlour floor. The dining room and living room, each with a wood-burning fireplace, are defined by high ceilings and well-proportioned spaces. The living room is flooded with natural light from the six floor-to-ceiling windows that surround charming views of the garden.
Living indoors and out is effortless with the Garden Floor. This floor, which is reachable from the street, features a great room with a warm wood-burning fireplace and a spotless white kitchen. A tranquil planted courtyard is accessible through French doors, creating a secluded haven perfect for peaceful leisure or outdoor dining. This level is made for easy entertaining with its built-in coat closet and powder room.
There are five peaceful bedrooms spread throughout the three top levels of the private apartments. The sumptuous primary suite, which occupies the full third floor, features a wood-burning fireplace, a private balcony with a view of the garden, and an extravagant marble ensuite bathroom. Any clothing will have enough storage thanks to the two roomy closets. Four further bedrooms, each tastefully furnished with a wood-burning fireplace and an ensuite bathroom, are located on the fourth and fifth levels above.
A gorgeous rooftop patio, which is uncommon in the neighbourhood, crowns the house. With its lovely landscaping, eating and lounging rooms, outdoor kitchen, and even shower, this outdoor retreat is perfect for entertaining. Savour expansive views of the picturesque West Village and its environs from this location.
This home has been meticulously planned in every way. Modern convenience effortlessly blends with historical charm thanks to the bespoke millwork, cutting-edge lighting, heating, audio, and security systems. All floors, including the full basement with a wine cellar, two laundry rooms, and lots of storage, including a Cedar Closet, are easily accessible via a central staircase and a private lift.
Located in one of the most sought-after residential neighbourhoods in the West Village, 763 Greenwich Lane is a tree-lined lane. Despite its charmingly secluded setting, it is only a short distance from well-known eateries, Chelsea galleries, The High Line, and Hudson River Park.
At $20,500,000, this remarkable home provides an unparalleled blend of modern luxury, historic charm, and an unrivalled position. 763 Greenwich Street embodies West Village life, whether you're holding large parties or looking for a peaceful haven.
