Featured on the cover of New York Magazine as a ?State-of-the-Art Model for the New Brownstone?, and included in Elle Décoration?s ?Pick of the World?s most Beautiful Homes?, this East Village Floor-Through Condominium Triplex, a townhouse within a townhouse, is the signature residence in a four-unit 19th Century Brownstone, a Classic New York City Icon re-imagined and rebuilt for 21st Century Living. The most distinctive feature of the home is its fully-retractable second floor façade/wall that rolls open like a garage door, transforming the Living Room, complete with ecofriendly fireplace, into what Elle Decoration UK described as ?the Ultimate Indoor/Outdoor Living Space?. A glass garage door located at the first floor Kitchen/Dining Area also retracts, opening an entire wall to a private, south-facing garden and outdoor cabana, ideal for intimate gatherings or large-scale entertaining. The Kitchen is equipped with Viking and Subzero appliances and finished with custom lacquered cabinetry. The Bathrooms are appointed with custom porcelain enamel panels, deep soaking tubs, Lefroy Brooks Sinks and Arne Jacobsen designed hardware. Other amenities include soaring 12 foot ceilings, polished concrete floors, exposed brick, central heat and air, high speed wiring, keyed elevator access and effortless, keyless entry. The award-winning architecture of this building has also earned it a place in both the prestigious American Institute of Architects? ?AIA Guide to New York City? and the ?Contemporary Guide to New York City Architecture?, where it appears alongside distinguished projects such as 40 Bond (Herzog and DeMeuron Architects) and 41 Cooper Square (Morphosis Architects) . Combining world class design with superior luxury and downtown rock star chic, this residence offers a truly unique, one-of-a-kind living experience in the heart of one of New York City?s most vibrant neighborhood.
