On the market for the first time in 22 years, a pair of homes at 183 and 185 West 4th Street in Greenwich Village have just as much historic character as many of their charming neighbors. Built in 1897, the property was home to industrialist and art collector Armand Hammer in the 1920s. Today it retains its original beauty more than most. A painstaking renovation by renowned architectural firm Fairfax & Sammons has not only integrated and updated homes for modern living, but has given deserved attention to every inch of tiny townhouses—complete with a charming patio and garden. The property is asking for $7,500,000.
The proportion is everything from the first glimpse of the space, which appears once larger inside than one might imagine from its attractive facade. The architects made the unique property look like a more spacious home.
The dramatic double-height living room is located in the center of the house. Both the living room and dining area are inviting entertaining spaces, highlighted by a moody dark bar tucked behind heavy ceiling height curtains. The cheerful farmhouse kitchen includes a breakfast bar for more dining and work space.
Upstairs there are two private, cozy and somewhat luxurious bedrooms each with their own bathroom. The working fireplace fits perfectly into the historical setting. Tucked away in the back, the innovatively landscaped, brick-paved “Secret Garden” is an enchanting place to entertain, dine, or just enjoy a small section of heaven in midtown Manhattan.
