19th Century Country Town House
In the cobblestoned streets of Greenwich Village a writer and her family moved to this 19th-century town house with an English country vibe.
The two-story, 2500 square foot apartment came with a cottage-like kitchen and herringbone floors. Legend has it that Lauran Bacall and Humphrey Bogart once called it home.
Exterior:
A red door is always a welcoming sight in my book. It just beckons someone to come knocking.
Living Room:
The big open living room serves as a place to both work and relax. A gallery wall and shelves full of books liven up this space.
SHOP WING BACK TUFTED ACCENT CHAIRS
Dining Room:
French dining chairs surround a big farmhouse table found at the Paris Clignancourt flea market.
Kitchen:
Brick walls, butcher-block countertops, bead board, and enamel-finished metal cabinets add an English cottage vibe to the kitchen.
Entryway:
The street level mudroom gives a cheerful welcome with its bench painted with mint green paint. A Shaker-style peg rack hangs above it.
Master Bedroom:
The master bedroom is wallpapered with hydrangea wallpaper. The bed has floral bedding and a plaid blanket from The Great English Outdoors in Wales.
Child’s Bedroom:
The child’s bedroom has a vintage iron bed and a table and chairs for coloring and drawing or having tea parties.
Terrace:
The terrace is just off the kitchen and connects to the garden. It is surrounded by climbing vines.
Backyard:
The backyard is a vision of loveliness with its many plants and thoughtful landscaping.
An outdoor dining space is big enough for both family and guests to get together. Such a cozy outdoor space in which to entertain.

What a wonderful place to live! Thanks for sharing it.
Absaloutley gorgeous. Would not change one thing.
Wow! What a stunning outside space!
It’s a large home for NYC – 2500 square feet, CHA-CHING! The backyard space increases the value of that townhouse by a LOT of money. They have made it so beautiful – a real sanctuary. I’m sure the birds and squirrels are happy, too. Yard space is at a premium in NYC and any bit that people have access to in their apartments or homes most of them try to develop and use as a nature get-away. I don’t live in NYC so I don’t have access to all the wonderful museums, art galleries, and of course the shopping and Central Park, but in the mid-size city where I live nearly all the homes have front yards and back yards, unless you live in a high rise downtown. Then you may get a balcony. Don’t think I could give up gardening for a balcony!
I love the little girl’s room and the backyard!
Wowsie this is a super pretty and unique brownstone. How sweet she has done all the rooms. Love the little girls room. The built ins are amazing too. Love it all. That backyard is gorgeous. I would spend my whole summer out there.
Thanks for Sharing this pretty home with us.
I just love the outdoor spaces! So peaceful and relaxing.
