Rare and Tranquil Townhouse Duplex
This highly distinctive duplex home in the heart of the East Village (between First Ave. and Ave. A), is a rare find. Located on the top two floors of a very unique, fully renovated four story townhouse with charming outdoor space, it’s easy to see this residence as a charming country cottage. The house is secluded from the street behind a former convent on a quiet residential block and is accessed through a private locked door and a landscaped courtyard. The distinctive space is currently configured with one master bedroom and a separate den that could be easily transformed into a second bedroom. There are also two home office areas, great for multipurpose use. The living room/ kitchen/ dining level has custom built-in cabinetry, recessed lighting, exposed beams, a half bath, and a full-sized wood burning fireplace. The two floors are connected by a spiral staircase and an outer hallway set of stairs. The entire home is bright throughout the day with natural light, and overlooks the front courtyard as well as an expansive green roof with a patio, creating a pitch-quiet and private living experience. A downstairs washer/dryer is shared with just one neighbor. The home is available furnished, unfurnished, or partially furnished. Pets, smoking, and guarantors are not permitted.
