Built in the West Village in 1899, this charming four-bedroom and five-bathroom home recently sold for $12.75 million with approved renovation plans, an important selling point for a property in a historic district, where getting plans approved be a lengthy, arduous process.
Totaling 5,000 square feet, the natural light and soaring ceiling heights throughout the house are exceptional and the home boasts beautifully preserved original details that include 12-inch-wide plank pine floors, stunning hand carved archways and moldings, as well as period piece fireplace mantles. Perhaps the most enticing detail of all was the 700 square foot south facing garden and a 1,000 square foot rooftop deck with sweeping views of both the Empire State Building and the Freedom Tower.
The townhome, located at 54 Charles St., was listed by Robert Dankner of Prime Manhattan Residential, focusing primarily on Manhattan’s luxury market. The home last switched hands back in 2014 selling for $10,750,000.
