Set on a quiet stretch of West 11th Street - the New Billionaires Row - Residence 1 at 226 West 11th Street is a 25-wide parlor- and garden-level duplex, the first two floors of a boutique townhouse co-op. An historic offering with 12.5 ceilings and original period details, the home includes exclusive access to the 1,300+ square foot garden, a verdant and private oasis that takes full advantage of the 110-deep lot.
The parlor floor is open, spacious, and bright. Both levels of the home are full floors; in the parlor, light pours in through double-height windows in the north and large windows in the south. Because of the setback from the street, and the garden in the rear, there is very little light obstruction from neighboring buildings. The living room features many of the homes original details, such as decorative crown and baseboard mouldings. Through a set of pocket doors, also original to the unit, the formal dining room is similarly grand and ornate. Both rooms feature fireplaces.
Looking over the back garden, the breakfast room and kitchen are well appointed, with appliances from Sub-Zero and Miele, a built-in banquette for casual dining and additional storage, all-day southern light and a natural separation from the formal dining room.
One may access the apartment directly through the garden level via a mud room. Both bedrooms are on this level. Facing the garden, the principal bedroom spans the full 25 width of the building. With a fireplace, two walk-in closets, and a sitting room, this is an impressive and versatile room. The second bedroom also has two closets, and includes an en-suite bathroom.
This two-bedroom setup can easily be converted to a true three-bedroom layout. The principal bedroom can be split to create a smaller third bedroom, and the current walk-in closet can become an additional en-suite bathroom. Please refer to the alternate floor plan for one proposal, and speak to an architect to confirm all possible reconfigurations.
The unit also comes with exclusive access to the buildings unfinished basement, less the small areas used for common mechanical and structural elements (boiler, meters, etc).
