A charming cottage-style structure on the terrace houses a large room with 10'5" ceilings. South-facing french doors, topped by a row of transom windows, admit bountiful sunlight. Currently used as an office, this marvelous aerie would make an equally special den or bedroom.
The rest of the interior is equally impressive, with a spacious living room and a primary bedroom that both face directly onto the iconic park. A terrace off the living room, also overlooking the park, offers even more space for outdoor enjoyment. There is a separate dining room, another bedroom, a washer/dryer, and excellent closet and storage space. The property features charming Greenwich Village views from nearly every room, and three exposures that bathe the home in natural light.
