Description

An expansive 4 bedroom and 3.5 bath home in the legendary Butterfield House located on one of the most sought after blocks in the heart of Greenwich Village. This 7 room home was just completely refurbished! The "J" line in Butterfield House is the most sought after apartment line in the building featuring a floor-through layout with both Northern exposures and beautiful Southern garden views. An elegant marble entry foyer separates the living room and formal dining room. The grand living room measures 25 feet with floor-to-ceiling South-facing windows overlooking the beautiful and tranquil gardens on West 12th Street and the formal dining room measures 21 feet, large enough to accommodate any size dinner party. The powder room is conveniently situated near the foyer in the center of the apartment. The windowed eat-in kitchen sits adjacent to the dining room and boasts an abundance of original mid century modern cabinetry. The apartment layout is ideal for entertaining. There are three bedrooms in a separate wing of the home including the master bedroom suite which has two walk-in closets, a separate dressing area, and an en-suite bath. The fourth bedroom is located behind the kitchen making it perfect for a staff room or an office. The apartment features oversized casement windows; an enclosed sun room with beautiful brownstone views; original restored parquet floors, and extensive closet space throughout the apartment (10 in total). The Butterfield House was built as a cooperative in 1962 by Architects Mayer, Whittlesey and Glassis and is one of the most renowned and recognizable landmark buildings in the Greenwich Village Gold Coast. Residents enjoy an architecturally significant garden and lobby, a full time doorman, state of the art fitness facility, bike room, garage, storage, and a central laundry room.
