135 W 4th Street Unit PHE, Manhattan, NY 10012

$15,000,000

Set within a converted Romanesque Revival church, this unapologetically bold duplex penthouse is defined by dramatic architectural framework and commanding presence. This is not a conventional home, but a rare opportunity to inhabit a space where structure and historical context elevate rather than define, within one of Downtowns most distinctive… Read More residential conversions. The upper level unfolds beneath double-height, 20-foot wood-clad ceilings with exposed beams, creating an atmosphere that is both expansive and immersive. Towering stained glass windows anchor the space, preserved and reimagined as luminous interior features introducing color, depth, and a sense of narrative that is entirely unique. The scale here is not simply impressive it leaves a lasting impression. That presence is embraced throughout the home. Alluring statement pendants and layered finishes reinforce a setting that is expressive, confident, and deeply individual. Through the gallery, the open chef's kitchen continues this dialogue with bold contrast and graphic detailing. Conceived as both a functional workspace and the perfect gathering point flowing seamlessly into a spacious dining area that opens directly onto a phenomenal, 500 sf private terrace. Outfitted with a full outdoor kitchen, the terrace serves as a true extension of the home generous in proportion, with open sky views and thoughtfully positioned for entertaining, lounging, or simply relaxed outdoor dining. Descending to the lower level, a series of thoughtfully scaled rooms offer remarkable versatility. Currently configured as two expansive suites with a media room between, the layout offers the option to restore its original three-bedroom configuration. Whether imagined as creative studios, additional living areas, or simply bedrooms, each space carries the same architectural presence, enriched by stained glass elements and a composition of refined finishes. Novare is a discreet, boutique condominium originally constructed in 1860 as the Washington Square Methodist Church widely known as the Peace Church. Converted in 2006 into a collection of just eight residences, the building retains its ecclesiastical scale and historic detailing, now reinterpreted for contemporary living. Positioned at the convergence of Greenwich Village, the West Village, and SoHo, this address places you within one of downtowns most layered and livable enclaves. Just beyond your door, the neighborhood reveals itself in moments morning coffee at Buvette, long lunches at Via Carota, and evenings that move effortlessly between intimate enotecas and the quiet rhythm of tree-lined streets. Cultural anchors such as Film Forum and IFC Center offer a more thoughtful take on city energy, while Washington Square Park provides a space to step away without ever leaving downtown. Independent shops, long-standing institutions, and tucked-away streets define the experience here less about the expected, more about discernment. Read Less
