Stop and admire 62 Jane, built in 1849 in regal Greek Revival style. Imagine sitting on extra-wide grey stone stoop capped by original ornate wrought-iron railings that date back 172 years.
Located on a tree-lined block in the heart of the West Village, this turnkey five-story home features a harmonious layout with many original details, on a 22' x 48' lot.
Enter the parlor floor and be greeted by a meticulous two-and-a-half-year restoration led by renowned architects Kathryn Ogawa and Gilles Depardon, who have preserved all the original details--the 11' ceilings, the wide plank floors, the staircase, the fireplace, and the French windows, still featuring the original shutters. Take a seat in the formal dining room, with its own wet bar. Watch the sunlight stream through the floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall facing the backyard to the south.
Then head downstairs to garden level, where the ceilings have been heightened and the open kitchen features Shinnoki cabinets by Japanese craftsman Yuji Kurosu. Through folding glass doors, an informal living room opens onto the garden terrace to create an indoor / outdoor living space.
A stairway leads down to the guest room / den, which was excavated to create full height ceilings throughout, along with generous storage, laundry room, and a mechanical room. Hidden concrete buttress reinforcement supports the vertical steel beams and reinforced brickwork.
Now head up to the bedrooms. The second floor hosts two bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom. One of them faces the quiet backyard gardens hidden within the block. The other features a fireplace, bookshelves, and three windows facing picturesque Jane Street.
Continue to the floor above, where the primary bedroom floor includes a gracious suite, a walk-in closet, skylights, and a fireplace. The roof has been raised and leveled to create not only a higher primary bedroom ceiling, but also a flat functional roof space.
One flight up, you will be able to access the roof deck through an enclosed sunroom, equipped with its own wet bar. Walk outside to enjoy unobstructed northern and southern protected views, with sunshine from dawn to sunset.
Additional features of 62 Jane include: a Siedle door with camera/remote doorbell and lock-control; Lutron lighting system with remote management; Lucifer LED lights; Ethernet cabling and mesh Wi-Fi system throughout; a gas generator; water filtration and water pressure booster systems; a 240-volt outlet under the stoop for electric vehicle charging; upgraded electrical throughout; alarm and security system with camera; sprinkler system throughout; humidifiers on every floor; and roof and garden automated irrigation.
