On historic Leroy Street, this beautiful three-story penthouse pairs the classic character and scale of a townhouse with the convenience of a modern condominium. Traditional details are given a light and contemporary touch: elaborate millwork, coffered ceilings, shuttered windows, wood burning fireplaces and a glorious roof terrace are accented with shades of white and blue for a casual elegance that exudes comfort and charm.

Facing South, West and North, there are sunny exposures from every room. The living room is spacious and airy with a woodburning fireplace and mantle at its center, banked on either side with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry styled with panels and bead board, and a coffered ceiling above. The open dining room has ample space for entertaining and a custom bar with wine storage. The windowed eat-in kitchen is stunning in white: Christopher Peacock cabinets offset with thick cut marble, ceramic pendant lights by MacKenzie-Childs, a Wolf range, Miele dishwasher and full-size SubZero plus two additional produce and beverage drawers. The window seat banquette is perfect for casual dining and hides extra storage for linens. Outside the kitchen sits the grasscloth-lined laundry and a full bath for guests.

Downstairs the serene master bedroom suite has windows adorned with plantation shutters, molded trim wall panels, and a looped iron chandelier. The spa bath has a Jacuzzi soaking tub, separate steam shower, double sinks and English-style fixtures. The plentiful closets in the master and throughout the home have been meticulously customized with California Closets interiors, making it a pleasure to stay organized. The generous second bedroom has pretty treetop views, a walk-in closet and its own bathroom.

The fantastic top floor guest suite or roof-side entertaining room can be opened entirely to the sprawling roof terrace and houses the second fireplace. Wainscoting and a navy LuLu DK graphic paper decorate the walls and clever built-in home office. This room and the adjacent study nook each have their own set of double French doors leading out to the lush planted terrace. Boasting quintessential Village views and lots of space it is ideal for alfresco dining and lounging with family and friends. There is a gardening shed, great for storing extra firewood in the winter, an automated irrigation system and speakers wired into the home's three-zone Bose AV system. The fourth bathroom is off the study.

Currently arranged as three bedrooms plus a windowed dining room and four bathrooms, the dining room could be enclosed to create a fourth bedroom with its own adjacent bath. The penthouse has central air conditioning, abundant storage, a security system and the benefits of a lovely elevator condo comprised of six similarly sized apartments. Located in the center of the West Village it is steps from all the festivity and charm the neighborhood has to offer, including the foodies' favorite sources, Murray's Cheese Shop, Faicco's, Ottomanelli's, Rocco's and Lobster Place, extraordinary restaurants, shopping and parks. Waking to chirping birds and sunshine no longer has to be a treat saved for country weekends.
