A gracious entry foyer creates a true sense of arrival, thoughtfully separating the front door from the main living spaces beyond. From here, the owner's residence unfolds across multiple levels, where generous proportions, restored details, and modern finishes come together seamlessly.
The home opens into a spacious living area defined by exposed brick, abundant natural light, and an immediate sense of volume. Chevron-patterned hardwood floors run throughout, adding warmth and a timeless architectural rhythm. Three decorative fireplaces serve as sculptural focal points, while a skylight positioned above the stairwell draws daylight through the home, enhancing openness and flow.
The kitchen is a refined blend of form and function, anchored by natural stone countertops and a full-height stone backsplash. Windows integrated into the home's distinctive barrel-shaped architecture introduce soft, natural light, subtly framing the space and reinforcing the townhouse's unique design language. A generously sized center island provides ample prep space and seating, complemented by a thoughtfully integrated suite of appliances, including a gas-range stove, french door paneled refrigeration, and vented hood. The kitchen connects seamlessly to adjacent dining areas, making it perfect for both everyday living and entertaining.
The primary bedroom is a true retreat-generously proportioned and centered around a decorative fireplace, with space for a sitting area and storage. Large windows frame leafy views, enhancing the room's calm, restful feel. Additional bedrooms are equally well-scaled and versatile, easily accommodating guest rooms or home offices, all benefiting from abundant natural light and consistent architectural detailing.
The garden level features a separate studio rental unit with its own entrance, high ceilings, and an abundance of natural light, offering strong income potential or flexibility for extended living or guests. Direct access to the rear yard creates a private outdoor retreat rarely found in the neighborhood.
Moments from the 1 train, the home is conveniently positioned for easy access to the rest of Manhattan. Enjoy a vibrant local scene with nearby favorites such as Semicolon Café, Five Flies Coffee, Chez Messy, and Hilltop Park Ale House, along with the parks and cultural institutions that make Washington Heights such a dynamic place to live.
