Description

Introducing for the first time in 40 Years, Residence 4W at The Ardea. Located on one of the prettiest blocks in the Village's Gold Coast, The Ardea was built in 1895 and is that quintessential Greenwich Village home that causes you to stop, look, and reflect, as it evokes an array of emotions, from wonder and amazement, to nostalgia and endless possibilities. The rarely available and desirable West Line is a Grand 7-room home loaded with Pre-War details, spacious proportions, and abundant light. Currently configured as a 4 bedroom, the flexible layout, with three separate plumbing risers, affords numerous potential configurations. With soaring 10 foot ceilings, oversized windows, inlaid floors, original moldings, and woodwork, the possibilities are limitless. Situated on the western side of the building, the home features 14 windows and is flooded with light all day long. From the gracious living room--with stunning oversized windows offering views of the sky, the treetops below, and stately brownstone cornices and facades--to the open kitchen that opens up into a formal dining room, one can easily see how this canvas can be transformed into the quintessential Greenwich Village home! Gracious, charming, and located steps to all major transportation lines, the best markets, cafes, and restaurants in the city, along with the Union Square Farmer?s Market, all the wonders of Washington Square Park, and the surrounding Village, you simply cannot find a more ideal location. Vacant and ready for it?s next chapter, residence 4W is priced to sell at $2.75M. Please contact us for a private showing. Note, Seller makes no representation or warranty regarding the potential addition of a second full bathroom. Any potential buyer should consult his or her legal counsel for further guidance.
