Description

Nestled on one of the most desirable corners of Tribeca, 452 Greenwich Street is a rare and historic home that has been impeccably well-maintained and updated for the past 20 years by the current owners. Originally built in 1819, the 25’ x 60' building has been transformed into a cutting-edge single-family residence with distinctive and exceptional features, including a brand-new custom kitchen by The Kennebec Company. Spanning 7,500 interior square feet, the highlights of the home include a coveted single-car garage, 38 windows, 3 wood-burning fireplaces, 5 bedrooms, a 2,500-bottle wine cellar, and an elevator that spans the entire home, including the mature rooftop garden. First Floor: - Grand foyer with porcelain tiles - Spacious billiard room or guest bedroom/library with full-bathroom - Windowed office or mudroom with storage space - Single-car garage with custom storage solutions and epoxy flooring - Central staircase and elevator throughout the home Second Floor: - Meticulous oak flooring throughout - Brand new custom kitchen by The Kennebec Company - Impressive row of north-facing and east-facing windows - Inviting living room with wood-burning fireplace Third Floor: - Three bedrooms and two full baths - Expansive east bedroom with corner views - Full bath shared with centrally positioned bedroom, which can be converted to en-suite Fourth Floor: - Junior primary with en-suite bath and wood-burning fireplace - Large Primary suite with 5 north-facing windows, wood-burning fireplace, windowed walk-in closet - Primary bath includes Mr. Steam shower Roof: - Teak rooftop garden spanning approximately 1,200 square feet - A serene urban oasis with abundant natural light and neighboring city views - Irrigation and lighting - Mature garden that has been well-maintained and offers privacy Basement: - State-of-the-art security system, including surveillance cameras - Cedar wine room for 2,500 bottles - Vented laundry room - Additional full-bathroom - Culligan water filtration systems Dating back to 1819, when Alexander Thompson constructed a modest two-and-a-half-story building, this home served as the residence of Archibald Sommerville, a Scottish settler. In 1852, the property underwent a transformation under the ownership of William B. Howenstine, its second proprietor. The building was expanded to four stories, reflecting the Federal architectural style, and various brownstone additions were incorporated. Over time, the property changed hands and in 1903, New York County Sherriff William F. Grell, the third owner, introduced a restaurant on the ground floor while utilizing the upper levels as a personal residence. Notable enhancements and features encompass the repointed facade, replaced sidewalks with newly planted trees, a water ejector system linked to a three-sump pump system for flood prevention.

Tribeca (the Triangle Below Canal) is synonymous with ultra-luxury and understated elegance. Once an industrial district, it is now home to some of the city's most expensive and sought-after real estate. The neighborhood is defined by its massive cast-iron loft buildings, cobblestone streets, and nearby public schools. Residents enjoy a discreet lifestyle in expansive lofts or in world-class new developments designed by 'starchitects' along the Hudson River waterfront.
