DESCRIPCIÓN

A timeless village classic with modern touches set along greenwich village’s storied gold coast, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence at the ardea blends historic beaux-arts architecture with thoughtful modern updates inside one of the neighborhood’s most beloved pre-war buildings.  Architecturally striking and rich in history, the ardea stands out with its symmetrical form, limestone detailing, and classic proportions—a photo of the building is a must to appreciate its unique facade.  Inside, the home has been meticulously updated to enhance functionality and style while maintaining its pre-war charm.  Soaring 10-foot ceilings and windows on all four sides—north, south, east, and west—flood the space with natural light.  This rare, full exposure enhances both brightness and airflow while offering dynamic views of the surrounding village streetscape.  The east-facing living room glows in the morning light and features a beautifully tiled decorative fireplace, custom built-in library shelving, and french-inspired wall paneling.  Original crown molding and hardwood floors have been carefully preserved, providing rich texture and warmth throughout.  A charming juliet balcony offers a touch of private outdoor space—perfect for stepping out and taking in the character of this tree-lined block.  The open-concept layout is anchored by a thoughtfully renovated kitchen, complete with liebherr, bosch, and wolf appliances, custom cabinetry, and a large center island for casual meals.  A nearby alcove creates a natural space for more formal dining and entertaining.  Both bathrooms are elevated with timeless finishes: one includes a marble double vanity, the other features a classic clawfoot soaking tub.  Ann sacks tile, tailored hardware, and forbes & lomax switches add quiet luxury and cohesion to the space.  All three bedrooms are spacious, bright, and serene, with the primary suite privately tucked away to offer additional comfort and separation.  Additional conveniences include central air conditioning, an in-unit washer and dryer, dedicated basement storage, shared laundry, bike storage, and a virtual doorman for added ease and security.  Originally built in 1901 by architect john b.  Snook and commissioned by george a.  Hearn, the ardea is an enduring example of beaux-arts design and new york history—thoughtfully preserved and beautifully updated for modern living.  Located moments from washington square park, union square, and fifth avenue, this is a rare opportunity to own a landmark residence in truly impeccable condition.  Please note: there is a 3% flip tax, payable by the buyer.
