Description

A SEAPORT LANDMARK TOWNHOUSE, REIMAGINED FOR CHIC MODERN LIVING!!

On a charming cobblestone street that evokes the spirit of early 19th-century New York, this stunning 1825 townhouse has been meticulously restored over a 2-year renovation. Originally built as a Dry Goods storehouse to service the ships docking at Beekman Slip, this home has been modernized for the 21st century while retaining beautiful details of it's past.  

The residence is defined by soaring interiors and a dramatic 4 story staircase at its core. Original wide board floors and hewn beams reclaimed from an 18th-century barn, along with imported doors from an English country estate, lend a sense of history and permanence. Every detail has been carefully curated to create a home of both refinement and comfort.

The chef's kitchen is anchored by a custom La Cornue range paired with Sub-Zero and Miele appliances and a vintage double soapstone sink reclaimed from an upstate farmhouse. Further up the staircase is a gorgeous living room with views over historic Beekman Street.  The primary bedroom has 2 custom work spaces in cozy niches. The primary bath is centered around a six-foot freestanding porcelain soaking tub complemented by an ebony apothecary cabinet with antique marble sink. On the first level is a separate bedroom, office, or studio with its own half bath. Washer/Dryer are located on the second floor and there is central A/C in the home.

Crowning the home is a private rooftop garden, offering glimpses of ship masts along the East River. With its artistry, and unrivaled attention to detail, this townhouse is among Manhattan's most distinctive and thoughtfully restored residences.Situated in the historic South Street Seaport district, this home has easy access to a diverse array of cafes, restaurants, and shops like Mark Joseph Steakhouse, SUteiShi and Cafe Patoro. Discover the newly restored Tin Building, by award winning chef Jean-Georges, a historic landmark now featuring a vibrant marketplace with contemporary dining and shopping options, as well as Pier 17 rooftop where you can enjoy concerts while also taking in the panoramic views. Conveniently located a block south of the Brooklyn Bridge and near a multitude of subway lines (2/3/4/5/6/R/W/J/A/C) as well as the largest Whole Foods in Manhattan.
