The personal rеsіdenсe οf аn ΑD-100 interior dеѕіgnеr, 21 Eаst 10th Street, Residence 7D is a meticulously restored two-bedroom, two-bathroom home enjoying a premium location on the northwest corner of 10th Street and University Place. Overlooking one of the most lovely pre-war corridors downtown, the home enjoys eastern views over treetops and lush rooftop gardens. Enter the home through a spacious foyer, with room enough for the storage of a bicycle, scooter or pram. From here, a charmed arched doorway offers a peek into the open living and dining room, where two large windows and original french doors opening to a sturdy, Wrought iron Juliet balcony are visible. The centerpiece of the living space is a functional wood-burning fireplace, finished in square brick and covered in plaster German slurry. Two hollowed-out arches flank the fireplace and echo the cylindrical arched doorways throughout the the home; they currently serve as a warm backdrop for paintings. Venetian plaster walls prevail throughout the home, adding texture, preserving simplicity and imbuing the space with a peaceful, monastic sensibility. The windowed kitchen, too, is replete with the finest fixtures and finishes. Exquisite antique French marble tile floors serve as a practical complement to the original hardwoods in the foyer, living spaces and bedrooms. Kitchen appliances and laundry facilities by Miele complete this room. There are two sizable bedrooms, each with large and custom built closets. Each enjoys access to a full private bathroom, which, in an homage to the building's Spanish details from the early 1900's, are finished tastefully with terracotta tile floors. In the secondary shower, a considered pop of indigo blue tiles complements the terracotta colored floors. Top-end Waterworks fixtures were also carefully selected for these spaces. Built in 1925 and designed by Sugarman & Berger, the Wordsworth Cooperative is a Greenwich Village landmark known for its Romanesque Revival architecture, live-in superintendent, porter, laundry, and bike room. Moments from Washington Square Park, Union Square, and the neighborhood’s finest restaurants, it captures the rare equilibrium of history, light, and design.
