THE APARTMENTEnter the foyer of this handsome apartment and begin to explore the easy elegance of an unusually sophisticated home. To the right, a long hallway leads to two bedrooms, two full baths, and a large laundry room with shelving and storage space. Follow the hallway back to the entry, there is a coat closet on your right and a comfortable office area on the left. At the intersection of the apartment's two main corridors lies a carved medallion on the floor inspired by Andrea Palladio's villa La Rotunda in Vicenza, Italy.The grand and expansive living room is augmented by abundant sunlight flowing in from north and west, a dramatic fireplace, and beautiful herringbone floors. Picking up the curved wall of windows which provide north and western exposures of Greenwich Village, Flatiron and beyond, a hand-painted eclipse adorns the ceiling above the grand piano. Beside the living room is a formal dining room separated by two pocket doors which create privacy but allow light through their bamboo panes.Beside the living room is the eat-in kitchen which overlooks the entertaining space via an internal window that also features a sliding bamboo pane. Off the kitchen are two more bedrooms which share a full bath. The master suite is positioned on the opposite end of the apartment, distant from the other bedrooms. Spacious and elegant, the master suite includes a large dressing area with built-ins, the bedroom with a separate sitting area, an enormous walk-in closet with built-ins floor to ceiling, and finally the large master bath with separate stall shower and bathtub.Accented by circular chandeliers which hang above the curved outer walls of this apartment's corridors, this uncommonly large Village condominium has been meticulously renovated, drawing artistic inspiration from Palladio's most notable villa, La Rotunda.THE BUILDINGBuilt in 1904 as a department store, The Greenwich has been transformed into a full-service pre-war luxury condominium in the heart of Greenwich Village. Converted in 2001 by Franke Gottesegen Cox Architects, this 12-story apartment building includes a doorman, concierge, and basement storage.
