Description

65 Bedford Street is a charming Greek Revival townhouse located on a historic landmarked West Village block. Beautifully renovated with original details intact, this spacious home offers five bedrooms, a top-floor penthouse atrium suite, five full bathrooms (four of which are en-suite), two half bathrooms, three outdoor spaces, and the highly coveted townhouse feature - an elevator. There is an abundance of outdoor space including a sizable private garden, primary bedroom terrace, and roof deck. Combining contemporary convenience with breathtaking architectural detail, this 1837 home has eight wood-burning fireplaces, white oak hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and handsome millwork.

The parlor floor welcomes lavish entertaining and comfortable daily life with an open floor plan and soaring 11.5-foot ceilings. The result of smart architectural design and painstaking renovation, the kitchen is in the front of the parlor, allowing for extra high ceilings and beautiful garden views that fill the room with light. Floor-to-ceiling windows and garden greenery surround the separate dining area, an ideal place to dine amidst tranquility. Test your culinary skills in the open chef's kitchen outfitted with a vented Wolf range, oversized French door refrigerator, built-in microwave drawer, granite countertops, and an abundance of kitchen storage. Step outside and enjoy a herringbone-paved terrace and garden, ideal for al fresco dining and lounging. A powder room and coat closet complete this well-planned level.

The elevator stops at every floor from the cellar to the penthouse. Board your private elevator or ascend the graceful staircase to find spacious and bright bedrooms with roomy closets, fireplaces, and private bathrooms. The primary suite includes a wood burning fireplace, terrace overlooking the yard and blooming trees, custom closet space with ample storage, and a large spa bathroom with a soaking tub, separate shower and double vanity.

The penthouse level, with its unique atrium windows that open to a glorious roof deck, is your very own private sanctuary, a beautiful space to relax and take in the sunshine or evening stars. Complete with walls of bookcases, exposed brick, and a bathroom, this top-floor space has amazing potential and can function as a luxurious office, sun-filled den, or private bedroom suite.

On the ground floor, you'll find a large laundry room and a secluded space, once used as art-studio, which could make for a great home gym or even a mudroom given the direct garden access. Better yet, there is a private apartment, an ideal "mother-in-law" or au pair suite, and a wonderful space for guests. The one-bedroom apartment has a separate street entrance, allowing for the possibility of live-with-income.

There is an over 700 SF finished basement with very high ceilings allowing for storage, playroom, an even larger home gym, or wine cellar.

Zoned central air conditioning and a laundry chute that runs through every level from the top floor to the basement laundry adds modern convenience to this timeless home. Another perk are the double paned windows.

65 Bedford sits peacefully on a prime block between Morton and Commerce Street, and with its beautiful design and serene outdoor spaces it is a true oasis in the middle of the West Village. Listing courtesy of Corcoran Group ...
