130 Charles St, New York, NY 10014

Designed by the internationally renowned architecture and design firm Messana O'Rorke, 130 Charles Street is one of the most exceptionally crafted townhouses in all of the West Village. Originally constructed in 1853, its historically preserved 28-foot wide Greek Revival facade belies the decidedly contemporary interiors that lie behind. Enter via the parlor floor to a full-width living room adorned with many design features consistent throughout much of the home: wide-plank hardwood flooring, a wood-burning fireplace (one of four), and custom millwork. An office, Calacatta marble-clad powder room, and the home's rear garden complete this floor. A custom oak and steel stair connecting all floors leads down to the garden level, flanked by the home's minimalist kitchen with Calacatta marble surfaces and Miele appliances as well as a service area with laundry facilities. The formal dining room is also full-width, with stone slab flooring echoing the detail work on the adjacent fireplace. The primary bedroom suite on the second level has four windows overlooking beautiful trees along Charles Street and includes the home's third fireplace, a custom walnut dressing room, and an en-suite bathroom with shower. Two secondary bedrooms on the third floor are also both en-suite, with one featuring the fourth fireplace. Ascending to the fourth floor, you are met by a wet bar opening through glass onto the landscaped roof garden, lushly planted with views down Charles Street towards the Hudson River. Entirely rebuilt and exquisitely maintained, 130 Charles Street is a true masterpiece in one of the most desirable pockets of the West Village.
