20 Charles Street, New York City, NY 10014

A stunning 20’ foot single-family townhouse on a quiet West Village block, this Greek revival five bedroom, six-and-a-half-bathroom home boasts generously proportioned rooms and expansive outdoor space. A recent renovation by Kushner Studios Architecture and Design along with Coco Kanakis Design, restored original details while introducing modern conveniences, creating a one-of-a-kind, rarely available home.

A red brick façade with original, 1890-built high stoop and ironwork welcomes you into the parlor level of this exquisite residence.  An enclosed vestibule leads to the enormous living and dining rooms with nearly 11’ foot ceiling heights, wood burning fireplaces, gorgeous herringbone Pine flooring and original crown moulding and a discreetly placed powder room.

Bright and airy, the custom-designed farmhouse-style chef’s kitchen boasts a suite of Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, white marble center island, a breakfast banquette nestled in a bay window that overlooks the enclosed garden below, which is also accessible via an external staircase.

The garden level features a guest bedroom with an adjacent full bathroom, as well as a huge den with a wood-burning fireplace.  An adjacent, sunlit breakfast room brings the outside in with its seamless flow to the chic, contemporary enclosed patio that features a custom-designed outdoor kitchen including a Lynx Professional Gas Grill.

The palatial primary suite occupies the third floor with a fireplace and opens to a private terrace.  It also boasts a huge dressing room/walk-in closet and an ensuite that boasts an oversized soaking tub, separate glassed-in shower, an infrared sauna, a fireplace, and a double-wide marble trough sink.  A handsome library/home office sits at the front of the third floor, rounding out the primary suite.

Three bedrooms with ample closet space sit on the fourth floor: one with custom built-in bunk beds and an adjacent bathroom with a large soaking tub, another large room with a subway tile-clad ensuite bathroom with brass fixtures and a skylit third bedroom.

The roof level boasts a large indoor/outdoor media room with automated shades and windows that open over the garden and a service kitchen.  The adjacent home gym could be repurposed as a sitting room and overlooks Charles Street.

The cellar features a full-sized laundry room, full bathroom, and ample storage.  This home also features heated floors, central a/c, over-sized windows, high ceilings, wired Sonos and Wi-Fi, and subtle extravagant touches like Forbes and Lomax brass light switches.

Characterized by its picturesque, tree-lined streets and historic brownstones, the West Village has a unique smaller community within Manhattan feel. Highly walkable and charming, the neighborhood is known for its culture, world-class hospitality and boutiques.
