288 West 12th St. #3FR

Overlooking the charming cobblestone street below, this storybook-perfect West Village apartment is impeccably renovated with a notable designer’s touch. Ascend two flights of stairs to this townhouse coop floor-through, and enter into a foyer that strikes a chord of harmony between tradition and whimsical-chic with original, wide-plank, yellow, knotted pine underfoot and walls wrapped in Tree of Life by Schumacher.

Enter into the warm light-filled living room with the first of three woodburning fireplaces encased in stunning stone work. Period appropriate millwork has been restored highlighting baseboards, crown molding, and two large double-hung windows with tree top views and open sky.

The windowed Chef’s kitchen is lined with custom duck egg cabinetry adorned with brass pulls, Carrera marble countertops with slab backsplash, deep farmhouse sink, and both paneled front Miele dishwasher and subzero refrigerator. The jewel of this culinary artist’s canvas is the AGA classic series gas range adding a happy hue to the galley.

Through the central hallway with powder room and in-unit laundry you’ll find a private primary bedroom wing. A king sized, sunlit, sleeping quarters is warmed by the second wood burning fireplace. An attached dressing room with wall-to-wall closets offers ample storage and windows for true-tone lighting. A smartly styled full en-suite bath makes great use of a small space with marble subway tile, a black granite vanity, and Waterworks fixtures.

A secondary bedroom with third woodburning fireplace, walk-in closet, and custom built-in shelving offers flexibility for guests or a work-from-home environment. Outfitted with upgraded electrical, plumbing, and discreet mini split systems for air conditioning and heat, this home marries the inimitable charm of a bygone era with every modern convenience.
