36 Bethune Street #1

First open house and showings on Sunday, May 15th from 1130-1PM! Steeped in history and fabulously renovated, Apartment 1 at 36 Bethune Street is an enchanting 1 bedroom gated garden residence in the heart of the West Village. Built in 1840, this completely gut-renovated home was the Carriage House Manager's Cottage for the carriage house compound and adjacent 4-story townhouse, making it a special slice of New York. Classic elements abound, from original exposed brick to the timeless "Ticket Window" in the bedroom that was uncovered and restored during a 2011 "down to the studs" renovation by Daniel Silver of ONG&ONG Architects. EVERYTHING is new and in pristine condition, from the walls and ceilings to the new solid white oak plank flooring with a new insulated subfloor, all lighting fixtures, new electric with dimmer switches and recessed LED lighting, new plumbing, insulation, Mitsubishi central heating and air system, and CAT5/HDMI wiring for your high-tech needs. Northern, southern and western exposures invite in beautiful natural light. Live in a rare NYC treasure that greets you with blue granite entry steps and a new solid wood dual-face front door. Overlook the peaceful courtyard in the living area graced by a bay window with a Cambria Durham quartz workspace and Wenge wood privacy shutters. Nestle by the brick fireplace with a custom Wenge wood mantle, Dimplex Opti-Myst insert and supplemental forced heat. The redone kitchen is a chef's dream with Wenge wood cabinets/drawers, Cambria Durham Kitchen quartz counters with waterfall edge, seamless tempered glass backsplash, Kohler faucet with retractable spray, GE Profile 30" dual fuel slide-in gas/electric cooktop/convection oven, GE Advantium convection oven/microwave, GE Profile dishwasher with custom Wenge wood cabinet panel, and built-in GE Monogram custom Wenge wood-paneled fridge with a 2-drawer freezer, water filter and ice maker. The renovated bath indulges with Kohler fixtures, Grohe faucets, and a walk-in shower with tempered glass and glass tile surfaces. Quieted by Cityproof sound insulating windows, the bedroom is a perfect retreat with an exposed brick wall, built-in white oak storage unit and wired home entertainment center. An Asko washer dryer is included, and a security system with motion detectors and alarm panel provides protection and peace of mind. Comprised of 4 buildings (one townhouse and 3 cottages) that share a courtyard/garden, the co-op is pet friendly and does not have an underlying mortgage. Co purchasing, gifting and pied a terres are permitted. The location is exceptional with a plethora of restaurants and shops nearby.
