NEW LISTING!! 64 PERRY ST This historic sun-kissed townhouse centered on an ultra-prime, exquisite tree-lined West Village block, faces south over one of the most picturesque gardens (with a 280 year old white horse chestnut tree)in all of New York City. The house requires a gut renovation: fully approved, highly detailed plans by AD 100 architect Steven Harris come with this house to restore it to its former glory, yet infuse it with all the modern conveniences that make townhouse living unlike any other. Inhabited by only two families since its construction in 1866, the house was originally designed by architect Robert Mook, who also designed most of the other Italianate style townhouses on the block. The plans call for a beautifully detailed Landmarks-approved façade with splendidly proportioned interiors, finished in the unmistakable contemporary classic Steven Harris style. The grand parlor floor (accessed via the grand stoop stairs that welcomes you into an entry hall) is perfect for entertaining, with a large living room with a fireplace and formal dining room: a butler’s pantry with separate stairway to service the dining room leads below to the superbly detailed kitchen on the garden floor. The kitchen adjoins a family room with a fireplace that leads onto the extraordinary garden. A fully excavated cellar houses a magnificent wine cellar that can accommodate 1000+ bottles, a double-height ceilinged basketball court or playroom, a spectacular Spa housing a sauna, steam room and bathroom, a gym/media room and a laundry room. The gracious stairway or elevator transport you up to the lavish Master Suite floor (also with a fireplace) with spacious walk in closets and a dressing room/study/additional bedroom. There are two additional bedroom suites, a fourth smaller bedroom and bathroom, and a superb rooftop penthouse room with an inspiring terrace with an outdoor fireplace. Work can commence immediately upon closing, and any customized details or modifications could be added now without the annoyance or expense associated with un-doing another owners vision. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to purchase a townhouse in the ultimate setting and renovate it to your tastes without the endless planning and approvals process. This house may also be purchased for $ 22million with the current owner delivering the property fully renovated in mint, move-in condition.
