The Brownstone East Village at 224 East 14th St. #GRDN1

At approx. 1,971sf, this convertible two bedroom triplex (one master, PLUS windowed office/foyer and windowed studio/finished cellar) is a townhouse within a townhouse, the signature residence in a 4-unit 19th Century Brownstone re-imagined and rebuilt for 21st Century Living, and superb for live/work. Showcased on the cover of New York Magazine as a State of the Art Model for the New Brownstone , and included in Elle Decor UK’s Pick of the World’s Most Beautiful Homes , the home’s most distinctive element is a fully-retractable second floor faade/wall that opens like a garage door, transforming the Living Room – complete with Ecosmart fireplace – into the Ultimate Indoor/Outdoor Living Space , according to Elle Dcor UK. A glass garage door in the Kitchen/Dining area also retracts, opening to a private garden and outdoor cabana. The Kitchen boasts Viking and Subzero appliances and custom lacquered cabinetry. The Bathrooms feature custom porcelain enamel panels, deep soaking tubs, Lefroy Brooks sinks and Arne Jacobsen-designed hardware. There are 12 foot ceilings, polished concrete floors, exposed brick, central heat and air, high speed wiring, a keyless building entry, and keyed elevator access. The building’s award-winning architecture has earned it a place in the American Institute of Architects’ AIA Guide to New York City and the Guide to Contemporary New York City Architecture .
