Rare opportunity to own a storied piece of New York history! 75 1/2 Bedford Street is a stunning, thoughtfully designed townhouse on one of the most sought-after, picturesque blocks in the West Village. This unique, legendary home, famously known as The Millay House, was meticulously renovated with modern finishes, while retaining its original character and pedigree.

75 1/ Bedofrd, built in the 19th century, is truly a gem of a townhouse. It boasts 3 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms and a finished lower level retreat that easily functions as a fourth Bedroom for guests with its own Calacatta marble Bathroom. The home, with 150 sq ft of outdoor space, has a Private Garden oasis off of the Kitchen that has been beautifully landscaped and is ideal for dinner parties or just relaxing and connecting with nature. There is wonderful light throughout the house from the large skylight on the upper level, oversized windows in the front and floor-to-ceiling French doors on the first two levels. All Bedrooms, as well as the Primary Bathroom, have working wood-burning fireplaces framed in travertine. What a dream! Leave the Dutch door on the ground floor garden level open, enjoy a fresh breeze, and cook in your well-appointed Kitchen with custom millwork, Italian marble countertops and backsplash, built-in Miele coffee maker and vented oven. On the second level the airy Primary Suite features efficient closet space and a spa-like Bathroom, with a balcony overlooking the serene Garden. The Bathroom is exquisitely designed with a claw-foot deep-soaking tub against a gorgeous mosaic tile backdrop, separate shower, two Italian marble sinks, Lefroy Brooks fixtures and abundant storage space. The upper level soars to 12 feet leading to the magnificent skylight and has two additional Bedrooms, one with a balcony overlooking treetops. You will wake up every morning feeling transported to Europe! Other features of this magical home include oak flooring throughout, central air conditioning and a vented washer/dryer.

This storied townhouse has had many notable residents. In 1923, the house was leased by a consortium of artists who used it for actors working at the nearby Cherry Lane Theater. Cary Grant and John Barrymore stayed at the house while performing at the Cherry Lane during this time. Margaret Mead, William Steig, and the Pulitzer prize-winning poet, Edna St. Vincent Millay, have all also called 75 1/2 Bedford home. It is located right by the neighborhood’s best shopping, restaurants and all major transportation…and there is a new, super chic restaurant and bar in the Cherry Lane Theater! PAST, PRESENT. PERFECTION.
