Chris Hughes, Facebook cofounder and former company spokesperson, once called this extraordinary Greek Revival townhouse in Greenwich Village home, just steps from the charming West Village’s most desirable streets.
He and husband Sean Eldridge transformed the 1840s residence into a cutting-edge, 3,200-square-foot showpiece with four bedrooms, six-and-a-half baths, and timeless architectural character.
The home features six original wood-burning fireplaces with marble surrounds, a full-floor primary suite, and a chef’s kitchen outfitted with dual dishwashers, Wolf appliances, and a generous walk-in pantry.
A rare and magical feature is the freestanding carriage house, complete with a rooftop garden and connected to the main home via a private underground tunnel.
Every room includes a built-in iPad touchpad, controlling Savant-powered lighting, 12-zone heating/cooling, motorized shades, audio-visual systems, and state-of-the-art security for seamless modern living.
Five unique outdoor spaces—including a rooftop terrace with open skyline views—wrap this historic residence in greenery, offering a private oasis in the heart of New York City.
