What appears to be a small cottage on the terrace houses a 12'5" x 19'5" room with 10'5" ceilings. South-facing french doors, topped by a row of transom windows, admit bountiful sunlight. Currently used as an office, this marvelous aerie would make an equally special den or bedroom.
The rest of the interior is equally impressive, with a spacious living room and a primary bedroom that both look directly onto the iconic park. A terrace off the living room, also overlooking the park, offers even more space for outdoor enjoyment. There is a separate dining room, washer/dryer, and excellent closet and storage space. The property features charming Greenwich Village views from nearly every room, including of MacDougal Alley, and three exposures that bathe the home in natural light.
