From the Agent: “This exceptional home delivers an imaginative blend of two lifestyles. Taking inspiration from the trees that once lined the Minetta Brook, which flowed beneath this house, architect Adam Kushner has created a one-of-kind four-bedroom home filled with whimsy and purpose. This home is situated in a landmarked district of the city. Inside an Italian wrought-iron gate, which serves as the front door of the original building, is the front courtyard. A second gate leads to the hub of the home, the kitchen, which connects to an interior courtyard that leads to the lower level. The showstopper in this home is the second floor, with 23-foot-high ceilings and two fireplaces. Easily travel to the floor of your choice while enjoying the sight of the breathtaking 83-foot-high rock-climbing wall. Above the trees, the view is a nearly 360-degree vista of Greenwich Village.”
