Multiple working...This exceptional home delivers an imaginative blend of two lifestyles. Created as an homage to the trees that once lined the Minetta Brook, which flowed beneath this house, architect Adam Kushner has created a one-of-kind 4 bedroom, 4.5 bath home filled with whimsy and purpose. This home is situated in a now landmarked district of the city. A property filled with visual interest everywhere your eyes rest and the distinct feeling of being in touch with ones pre-technological desires. Multiple working fireplaces in unusual spots, a movable glass roof, hidden water features and more. Inside an Italian wrought iron gate, which serves as the front door to the original building, is the front courtyard. A charming place to enjoy a morning coffee, this area also features useful storage and an outdoor shower. A second gate leads you into the hub of this home, the kitchen. Here rustic meets modern as sleek marble counters and backsplash complement wood hand hewn from upstate trees which make up the floors, walls, cabinets and includes a bar made of an eye-catching slice of live-edged red oak. Aside from top-of-the-line appliances such as a 48” double oven, 6 burner stove with grill, the kitchen fireplace is set up for cooking at counter height. The kitchen is also the connector to the interior courtyard, which leads to the lower level, laundry room and is an access to the carriage house. A roomy, rarely seen three-sided glass elevator suspended between the buildings rests here. Easily travel to the floor of your choice while enjoying the sight of your own private, breathtaking 83’ high rock-climbing wall. Above the trees, the view is a nearly 360 degrees vista of life in Greenwich Village. The showstopper in this home is the second floor with 23’ high ceilings and two fireplaces framed by timbers also taken from the Hudson Valley. The opposite wall becomes a changeable art piece with stacked wood, which changes as wood is burned in the fireplace and new wood is replaced in the stack. Light floods through custom built south facing windows that start at the base of the staircase, curve and rise to the ceiling. Continuing up via the stairs, landings between floors provide options for a home office, library, playroom. Sunlight streams through 17’ floor to ceiling windows, filtered by vine covered lattice designed to evoke leaves on a tree. Head to the third-floor meditation room for some time alone where a wall of floor-to-ceiling, south-facing accordion windows open onto a grass planted balcony enhancing the room’s serene atmosphere. Soothing breezes flow when floor to ceiling windows facing north are opened. During cold weather radiant floors and a wood burning fireplace wrap you in comfort. Upstairs two bedrooms divided by a sliding door can be made into one with an ensuite bath. Nestled at the top of this home is an intimate primary suite with its own lattice shaded balcony, woodburning fireplace, and ensuite bath. The rooftop lounge offers beautiful village views, a mini kitchen and is the landing deck for the rock-climbing wall. Across the courtyard at the top of the carriage house sits a fully equipped gym encased in glass. Forget mirrors. Workout with the stars, listen to the rain, watch snow fall. The guest bedroom with an ensuite bath is just below. From here stairs lead you down to an all-purpose room on the first floor. Tucked under the kitchen the original stone foundation and wood beams with another wood-burning fireplace transform this cellar into a entertaining space complete with a corner bar, full bath and wet sauna. Between the two buildings are multiple storage areas, perfect for hanging bicycles, storing climbing gear, and other non-essentials. Top all of this with a fascinating history about previous owners and you have a property in a class of its own.
