This one-of-a-kind prewar duplex with a private roof deck is ideally located within steps of Hudson River Park, the entrance to the High Line, and all of the charms of the West Village.  This bright and quiet apartment offers everything one could want, including high ceilings, exposed brick, a wood-burning fireplace, through-wall air conditioning, and private outdoor space.  The first floor has an open living room (currently set up with a large dining table) with a wood burning fireplace -- perfect for entertaining or just a quiet dinner at home, a newly renovated windowed kitchen with high-end stainless steel appliances (Miele dishwasher, Bertazzoni gas stove and a Fisher & Paykel refrigerator), and a renovated windowed bathroom.  Up the stairs you have two bedrooms, one currently configured as a library/den, and access to the private planted terrace with wide-open, 360 degree views of the Empire State Building, the Freedom Tower, the High Line, and the West Village.  While located just steps from the heart of the Meat Packing District, the High Line and the new Whitney Museum, this truly unique apartment is tucked away on a beautiful tree lined street replete with historic townhouses.  This elevator building has a newly renovated lobby, basement laundry, a storage room and a live-in Super.  This is a must see -- a rare opportunity in the best location downtown.
