231 W 11TH ST

Built in 1844 as part of one of the finest rows of late Greek Revival houses in the West Village, and retaining its grand stoop with original Iron fretwork and front gate, 231 West 11th Street is a four story single family townhouse of exceptional beauty. The pear and cherry trees that line the block form a canopy of white and pink in the Spring that leave one breathless, and give a warm glow in Autumn as well. There is a 35' garden designed by renowned designer Madison Cox, surrounded by other lush gardens, giving the home a very tranquil and green outlook to the North. Inside, as one enters the parlor floor there is a front library with a wood burning fireplace which leads to a larger living room overlooking the garden, and also with a wood burning fireplace. On the upper floors are potential for 3 or 4 bedrooms, and 3 baths, with flexible configuration. The most recent renovation combines traditional features with modern simplicity, with built in and hidden storage throughout the house. On the garden level a comfortable front room leads to the large modern eat in kitchen, giving on to the elegant garden, perfect for outdoor dining. The cellar has a large laundry area and excavated playroom as well.
