Terrifying high climbing wall, ‘hidden water features’ are must-see in NY home for sale
A fascinating residence has landed on the real estate market in New York City for a whopping $20 million.
Built in 1800, this 4,200-square-foot townhouse is a piece of art that must be experienced to really appreciate all its wondrous glory. And thanks to its modern-day features, the home has a charm that’s unmatched.
“This exceptional home delivers an imaginative blend of two lifestyles. Created as an homage to the trees that once lined the Minetta Brook, which flowed beneath this house, architect Adam Kushner has created a one-of-kind 4 bedroom, 4.5 bath home filled with whimsy and purpose,” the listing on Sotheby’s International Realty describes.
“This home is situated in a now landmarked district of the city. A property filled with visual interest everywhere your eyes rest and the distinct feeling of being in touch with ones pre-technological desires. Multiple working fireplaces in unusual spots, a movable glass roof, hidden water features and more.”
The residence features, per the listing, include:
Chef’s kitchen
Glass elevator
High ceilings
Home office
Library
Playroom
Meditation room
Balcony
A few of the features stand out above the rest, like the 83-foot high rock-climbing wall that’s about as intense as it is phenomenal-looking. There’s also a rooftop lounge with its own kitchen that works as a landing deck for the climbing wall, the listing says.
Guests? It has a place for them to stay, too.
“Across the courtyard at the top of the carriage house sits a fully equipped gym encased in glass. Forget mirrors. Workout with the stars, listen to the rain, watch snow fall. The guest bedroom with an ensuite bath is just below,” the listing says. “From here stairs lead you down to an all-purpose room on the first floor.”
The listing is held by Diane Wildowsky and Lonni Levy of Sotheby’s International Realty – Downtown Manhattan Brokerage.
