Property Details
Description
CONTRACT SIGNED. No further showings. Hidden along the West Village's famed Christopher Street, The Rectory House is a rare townhouse treasure in move-in condition. Perfectly renovated by the first private family to own this property in over a hundred years, this 4-story, 4-bed, 2.5 bath home has been meticulously restored. The thoughtful renovation is the ideal combination of pre-war charm and modern convenience. Enter the sun-drenched parlor-level living room, highlighted by the original marble mantle and graceful staircase. A multi-purpose dining/library area leads to the first tranquil bedroom that overlooks the lush and private north-facing garden. On the lower level, a warm family room flows into the large chef's kitchen. The open dining room looks out onto the serene back patio and garden and allows for easy indoor/outdoor entertainment throughout the year. Upstairs, on the master level the spacious master bedroom features oversized south-facing windows and prewar details such as the original marble mantle, window shutters and refinished wide-plank pine floors throughout. A classically renovated marble bathroom and an extra room -- currently used as a dressing room -- complete the floor. The top floor -- flooded in sunlight from a large skylight -- still maintains its original plaster moldings. The generous front bedroom is cheery and sunlit while the back bedroom is petite and peaceful. A lovely marble bathroom with claw foot tub completes this hidden West Village home. The mechanical upgrades include new electric, plumbing and HVAC, and sophisticated alarm systems. There is a washer/dryer and additional storage in the cellar. 79 Christopher street is ideally situated in the Greenwich Village Historic District, with easy access to Hudson River Park, the High Line, Central Village, SoHo and Chelsea, too. Come home to some of the city's best dining and entertainment along with the other cultural venues that have made the legend that is the West Village. Shown by private appointment only.
