For $20.5M, West Village townhouse meets suburban mansion behind a historic facade

If you’re looking for a massive mansion with a West Village address, this five-story townhouse at 763 Greenwich Street, asking $20,500,000, has you covered. Behind a charming brick facade on a historic block, the home’s interiors reflect pitch-perfect contemporary style courtesy of AD100 designer Stephen Gambrel, framed by coveted period details. A backyard and a rooftop terrace bring outdoor living to the table, and it’s all accessible by a convenient elevator.

Behind a dignified brick façade, all floors of the Greek Revival-style home are filled with light, and opened to optimize all exposures. Luxurious details include custom millwork and state-of-the-art systems for lighting, HVAC, music, and security.

Up the classic stoop, double doors lead to the parlor floor living and dining space beneath tall ceilings. Each room has a wood-burning fireplace; the living room overlooks the back garden.

The garden floor features a hard-working designer kitchen, with countertops of stone and steel surrounding crisp, white European-style cabinetry. Past the kitchen, a great room offers a wood-burning fireplace. This cozy living space opens onto a landscaped rear courtyard with stone pavers surrounded by greenery and tall brick privacy walls.

The home’s top three levels hold five bedrooms. An estate-worthy primary suite has its own fireplace, two capacious closets, and a private terrace overlooking the garden. A windowed, marble-clad bath has a large tub and a walk-in shower.

Above are two bedroom floors. Each large chamber has a wood-burning fireplace and an ensuite bath.

Above this mansion-sized city home is a sprawling rooftop terrace with views of the surrounding neighborhood. Up here you’ll find an outdoor kitchen, dining and sitting areas–and an outdoor shower.

Completing the vision of a fully-featured mansion, a finished basement offers a laundry room, a wine cellar, and a cedar closet.

Surrounded by the best of downtown Manhattan, the picture-perfect West Village street is steps from Hudson River Park.
