Pinag-isa ng pambihirang carriage house na ito sa Greenwich Village—na may garahe at sariling pasukan mula sa kalsada—ang luma at bago, pampubliko at pribado, at panloob at panlabas, sa paraang sumasalamin sa mismong buhay sa New York City. Maingat itong kinayod at lubusang inayos, at napaka-flexible ng pagkakaayos nito. Sa kasalukuyan, mayroon itong tatlong silid-tulugan, dalawa at kalahating banyo, at malawak na espasyo sa unang palapag, na pawang may nakamamanghang interior na dinisenyo ng propesyonal. Naka-zona ito ngayon para sa magkahalong gamit. Itinayo ang bahay na ito noong 1829 sa lupang pag-aari ni Aaron Burr, ang ikatlong Bise Presidente ng Estados Unidos. Ngayon, kabilang ang gusali sa pinakamatatanda sa lungsod at madalas kuhanan ng litrato, salamat sa mga tampok nito sa House Beautiful, Elle, The Wall Street Journal, at dalawang aklat-pang-display sa mesa.

Matatagpuan sa loob ng Greenwich Village Historic District, sumailalim sa masusing pagsasaayos ang carriage house na ito na may lapad na 25 talampakan. Nailigtas at naibalik ang marami sa pinahahalagahang makasaysayang detalye nito, habang dinagdagan naman ng kapana-panabik at di-inaasahang modernong mga elemento. Ginawang estante ang ilan sa mga orihinal na bigang kahoy na kinailangang palitan, samantalang nananatili pa rin ang iba. Nag-aanyaya ang gusaling may lawak na 3,620 kuwadradong talampakan sa pamumuhay na pinagsasama ang loob at labas, pati na sa magarbong pagtitipon sa ikalawang palapag. Nakaangat sa ibabaw ng malalapad na sahig na hardwood ang mga nakalitaw na biga, at nabubuksan nang tuluyan sa halos 900-kuwadradong-talampakang terasa ang buong palapag sa pamamagitan ng dingding ng mga natitiklop na pintong salamin. Isipin ang magagandang pagtitipon sa labas, napalilibutan ng mga pader na ladrilyong nababalutan ng galamay-amo at ng tanawin ng Village. Mainam para sa mga barbecue sa tag-araw ang kusinang panlabas na kumpleto sa gamit at may ihawan na de-gas. Samantala, kapansin-pansing sentro ng tanawin ang kakaibang nakalubog na hardin at fire pit, na may mga tanawing sumisilip pababa sa espasyo sa unang palapag. Sa loob, kahanga-hanga ang maluwag na kusinang may napakalaking quartz island na may waterfall edge at breakfast bar, nilagyan ng kahoy na palamuti at sinabitan ng mga ilawang tanso. Kabilang sa kumpletong hanay ng mga kasangkapang Miele ang kalan na may nagtatagong downdraft vent, dishwasher, microwave na nasa drawer, at refrigerator para sa alak, pati na washer at dryer.

Umakyat sa bukas na hagdang may estilong industrial-chic upang matuklasan ang mga pribadong kuwarto sa itaas na palapag. Punô ng sikat ng araw ang pangunahing suite, na may dingding na salamin kung saan matatanaw ang hagdang naliliwanagan ng skylight, at payapang banyong parang spa na may malalaking tile mula sahig hanggang kisame, mga nakalantad na estante, rain shower at bathtub na pangbabad ng Duravit, at dalawang lababong tila nakalutang. Pinaghahatian ng dalawa pang silid-tulugan ang isa pang kumpletong banyo na may shower na salamin na walang frame, skylight, at mararangyang batong pampalamuti.

Dahil may sarili itong pasukan mula sa kalsada, ang unang palapag ng bahay ay isang maluwag at flexible na espasyong mainam gawing pangarap na garahe ng kolektor ng kotse, art studio o gallery, opisina ng startup, o karagdagang lugar-tirahan. Binibigyang-diin ng kisameng may taas na 14 na talampakan, makikinis na sahig na kongkreto, mga transom window, at mga tanawing sumisilip sa nakalubog na hardin ang napakalawak na sukat ng espasyo. Kumukumpleto sa pambihirang kanlungang ito sa Downtown ang powder room, laundry room, mga silid-imbakan, at karagdagang espasyo sa imbakan sa cellar.

Matatagpuan ang bahay na ito sa loob ng Greenwich Village Historic District, sa kanto ng Downing Street at Bedford Street. Napalilibutan ito ng mahuhusay na tindahan, kainan, at nightlife sa West Village at Meatpacking District, habang madaling marating ang mga opisina ng media at teknolohiya sa Hudson Square. Nag-aalok ang maliliit na parke sa kapitbahayan, Washington Square Park, at 500-acre na Hudson River Park ng mga tanyag na panlabas na lugar sa bawat direksiyon. Napakadali ring bumiyahe, dahil malapit ang mga tren ng 1, A/C/E, B/D/F/M at PATH, mahuhusay na serbisyo ng bus, at mga CitiBike.

This peerless Greenwich Village carriage house with curb cut garage, melds old and new, public and private, indoors and outdoors, in a way that nods to life in New York City itself. Painstakingly gut-renovated and ultra-flexible, currently configured as three bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, and expansive ground-floor space with breathtaking designer interiors throughout. Currently zoned as mixed-use, this 1829 house was built on land owned by the third Vice President of the United States, Aaron Burr. Today, the structure is among the city's oldest and most photographed thanks to star turns in House Beautiful, Elle, The Wall Street Journal and two coffee table books.

Located within the Greenwich Village Historic District, the 25-foot-wide carriage house underwent a thorough renovation that salvaged and restored much of the cherished historic detail while adding compelling, unexpected modern touches. Some of the original wood joists needing replacement were repurposed as shelving, while others are still intact. The 3,620-square-foot building welcomes indoor-outdoor living and lavish entertaining on the second floor, where exposed beams rise over wide-plank hardwood floors, and a wall of folding glass doors opens the level entirely to the nearly 900-square-foot terrace. Imagine glorious al fresco gatherings surrounded by ivy-covered brick walls and the sights of the Village. A well-equipped outdoor kitchen with a gas grill is perfect for summer barbecues, while the unique sunken garden and fire-pit provide a stunning focal point with peek-a-boo views into the ground-floor space below. Inside, the extraordinary open kitchen dazzles with a massive waterfall quartz island/breakfast bar trimmed in wood and topped with copper pendants. The full suite of Miele appliances includes a range with a retractable down vent, a dishwasher, drawer microwave and wine refrigerator as well as washer/dryer.

Two secondary bedrooms share another full bathroom outfitted with a frameless glass shower, skylight and upscale stone finishes.

With its own curb cut, this home's ground floor is a flexible open wonderland ideal as a car collector's dream garage, an art studio or gallery space, a startup office or additional living space. Fourteen-foot tall ceilings, polished concrete floors, transom windows and glimpses into the sunken garden underscore the grand scale of the space. A powder room, laundry room, storage rooms and additional cellar storage space complete this extraordinary Downtown sanctuary.
