Description

The Landmark "Bacchus House"

Situated on arguably the best street of the Gold Coast of Greenwich Village, this extraordinary restoration of a 24' wide carriage house built in 1833 is without parallel.

Adjacent to a row of aristocratic mansions by James Renwick, Jr. built in the 1860s, this building has an elegant façade in the Beaux- Arts Style that is embellished by tall windows and features carved medallions by the renowned American sculptor, Charles Keck, a previous owner who occupied the building for almost 60 years.

The interior encompasses 8,500 square feet, with living spaces arranged around a remarkable 40' landscaped interior atrium capped with a glazed skylight through which light cascades into the interior. This feature is the central feature of the present restoration which completely reconfigured the interior and redesigned the rear of the building to add two stone paved planted terraces to the south and one planted terrace to the north, each offering an exquisitely proportioned outdoor space.

The unique design now provides for 6 bedrooms, 7.5 bathrooms, expansive entertaining spaces, a beautiful office, a huge eat in chef's kitchen, a living room that converts to a private theater, abundant wood burning fireplaces, huge multi-level wall space for art, an elevator that serves all floors, private service quarters, a spa that includes a lap pool, full gym and bath, and a generous private garage.

The materials, finishes and technology in this building reflect the worldwide perspective of its international designer, who has made this carriage house his ultimate urban creation. Simply put, there is no other house like it. Co-Exclusive.
