Apartment 4C at The Shephard, 275 West 10th Street, is a spacious four bedroom home in the heart of the West Village. Designed for today's modern living, this light-filled home with a gracious layout and elegant proportions features a corner living room   nestled into the curve of the building's original architecture and a south facing oversized eat-in kitchen. Situated on the desirable southwest corner of the building, all rooms are sunny and outward facing with views of tree lined streets as well as a partial   Hudson River exposure from the living room. This unique residence has wonderful architectural details including 16 large, rounded windows and barrel-vaulted ceilings, beautifully proportioned rooms and superb separation of living spaces and bedrooms.

 

 Rarely available, this well-maintained apartment is move-in ready. Design, finishes and systems are comparable to a newly built apartment yet with significant pre-war charm unobtainable in new construction, offering its next owners the best of both worlds.

 

 Designed to feel open, modern and sunny, the living and dining spaces span the southwest corner of the home with six windows providing light throughout the day.

 

 The kitchen, the heart of any home, was transformed from the original design to be twice as large as the typical kitchen in the building. The room features a large seating area by the sunny, south facing windows, as well as a very large central island, two   sinks, and abundant storage including a separate walk-in pantry. Cabinets were designed by Smallbone of Devizes and are outfitted with custom painted and mahogany cabinetry with brushed stainless steel and brass hardware from Valli and Valli. Other details   include counters of black absolute granite and backsplashes and islands of white statuary marble. Home chefs and caterers alike will appreciate the Miele appliances including the 6-burner full gas range, an electric oven, combination microwave/convection oven,   warming drawer, wine cooler and two dishwashers.

 

 The primary bedroom features two large walk-in closets and is a tranquil sanctuary with terrific afternoon sun. The primary bath with white fan-patterned mosaic tile floors is spacious and finely appointed including a private water closet, large walk-in shower   with Dolomiti white stone shower slab, Zuma soaking tub, two sinks with hand-crafted mahogany vanities and Lefroy Brooks fixtures, painted millwork and radiant heated floors.

 

 The other three bedrooms feature impeccably renovated bathrooms, two en-suite, with fine finishes such as black hexagonal stone floor tiles, grey marble tile walls and fixtures by Lefroy Brooks in addition to excellent closet and storage space. The third of   the three bedrooms is currently configured as a library/media room with a windowed home office nook and built-in custom bookshelves and cabinetry, which conceal a murphy bed to comfortably accommodate overnight guests.

 

 Another perk of this special home is the self-contained laundry/mud room off the entry gallery - a rare find in a Manhattan apartment.

 

 Systems include a 9-zone Mitsubishi VRF heating and cooling system which can be remotely controlled. The floors throughout are solid hardwood oak in a herringbone pattern. In addition, the current owner installed an extensive array of technological and lighting   upgrades which will please the most discerning buyer. The Crestron AV smart home technology allows one to control sound, shades and most lighting with the touch of a button. All rooms have automated custom roller shades in addition to automated curtains in   several bedrooms. The fully equipped audio-visual system includes concealed in-wall and in-ceiling speakers connected to a Sonos system in the living areas and primary bedroom and bath as well as an immersive surround sound cinematic experience in the library/media   room.

 

 Additionally, a 51 sq ft climate controlled private storage room is available for purchase separately.

 

 The Shephard, comprised of just 38 apartments including three Penthouses, is one of the finest and most special residential buildings in Manhattan. Located on a quiet, tree-lined street in the very best part of the West Village, the building is a short walk   to the Hudson River Park, the Highline, many terrific restaurants and some of the best schools in downtown Manhattan. The interior design by Gachot is elegant and rich, using only the finest and most beautiful materials to accentuate the building's distinguished   character. With amenities including a basketball court, a gym and Pilates studio, a golf simulator, arts and crafts room, a paneled library that opens to the building's landscaped garden, steam rooms and an expansive lounge with arcade and ping pong club room,   the building retains an intimate, boutique feeling while still providing residents with fantastic spaces to relax and play.
