Property Description
Nestled in the heart of the West Village, this extraordinary 25-foot-wide, five-story townhouse—formerly a firehouse—has been transformed into a remarkable 6,850-square-foot private residence with private elevator.

The house is zoned for multi-use, allowing for a live-work setup and can be tailored to fit any lifestyle.
2nd Floor
Enter the house via the foyer's staircase which leads to an awe-inspiring 26-foot-high ceiling, crowned by a skylight that floods the main entertaining space with natural light. the expansive living area includes exposed beams, brick walls, 25” feet of windows and a large wood-burning fireplace. The adjacent chef's kitchen has soaring 15-foot ceilings with exposed wood beams, and French doors that open onto a beautifully landscaped 1,000-square-foot south-facing terrace equipped with built-in grilling station and irrigation—perfect for seamless indoor-outdoor living.
3rd Floor
The sun-drenched primary suite faces south and includes a walk-in closet and en-suite marble bath. There is a second spacious bedroom with an en-suite bath, along with a well-appointed laundry room.
4th Floor
The top floor offers a flexible space—currently a bedroom with ensuite marble bathroom, with a floor-to-ceiling wall of glass leading to a large south-facing rooftop terrace. This room could easily be used as a den, studio or home office.
Ground Floor
Access the ground floor via the private elevator or beautifully restored original firehouse staircase -which links the living room to a media room, powder room, and adjacent 892 square foot gallery/4-car garage.
The garage/gallery space offers conversion potential, seamlessly extending the living area or serving as a dedicated office space. Given the multi-use zoning, the possibilities are endless.
