Where Architecture Meets Intent
greenwich village, New York city
Situated on one of Manhattan’s most storied blocks, 179 Sullivan Street offers a rare and remarkably versatile opportunity: a 25-foot-wide property with the scale, pedigree, and positioning to become either a high-performing investment or one of the city’s most distinguished private residences. Whether held as a strategic asset or reimagined as a single-family home of uncommon refinement, the property presents a canvas worthy of the most discerning vision—a foundation for a sanctuary of quiet luxury, shaped by architectural discipline and sensual restraint. In a market where true beauty is often at odds with utility, 179 Sullivan is that rare exception: a proposition that speaks fluently to both.

TO Curate
Encompassing approximately 8,000 square feet across five floors and a cellar, the building is configured as five fully furnished residential units and one ground-floor commercial suite. Each unit offers soaring ceilings, oversized windows, original fireplace mantels, and finely detailed finishes. Historic features include Flemish-bond brickwork, a columned brownstone stoop, nine-over-nine parlor floor windows, and a bracketed Italianate cornice, reflecting the building’s storied past while supporting modern functionality.
TO Create
An architectural meditation on quiet luxury, the proposed plan for 179 Sullivan Street newly reimagines a single-family townhouse that channels the composure of Aman and the engineered grace of Bentley into a modern West Village sanctuary. Spread over seven impeccably detailed levels, the envisioned residence is a rare composition of scale, proportion, and material integrity—crafted not to be seen, but to be felt.

With a footprint of 25 feet wide and over 70 feet deep on a 100-foot lot, the proposed home offers approximately 8,000 square feet of interior tranquility and 2,500 square feet of outdoor respite. A discreet private elevator connects all levels, from the serene rooftop garden to the wellness suite below, where a sauna, gym, and treatment room create an atmosphere more akin to a private resort than a city dwelling.
The garden floor opens with a seamless procession from formal dining to a grand, open-concept kitchen and family room—culminating in floor-to-ceiling glass that invites the outdoors in. Beyond it, a private rear garden offers a tranquil escape, complete with a resistance pool quietly integrated into the landscape—ideal for both wellness and contemplation. The parlor level above evokes a restrained sense of grandeur, its gallery-like proportions ideal for hosting, art, and stillness in equal measure.
The private quarters span three levels, with five gracious bedroom suites. The primary floor is a retreat unto itself: dual dressing rooms, a spa bath with wet room, and a rear-facing bedroom overlooking the garden below. Each additional suite is conceived with equal care—crafted millwork, bespoke baths, and luminous, meditative volumes.
