This is a wonderful house in a fantastic location. From the street you walk straight in to the sitting room - but you are immediately drawn to the balcony alongside the huge airy, atrium of the kitchen/dining room which is where you'll want to spend all your time - and along to the back garden for sitting out in the sunshine.
In the kitchen there is a gas hob/electric oven Aga, with a great range of cast iron pans, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. And a long sociable dining table under the great windows for breakfasts and talking into the night.
The first floor bedroom is the most spacious, and has its own shower/toilet. Up the spiral wooden stairs to the second floor and an open plan single bedroom in a room lined with books, and the spacious bathroom with shower and fabulous zinc bath. Wind around the stairs again and you get to the attic double bedroom, with skylights and clever metal shutters, and an enticing ladder to take you to the roof garden. Magical, secluded and very special.
The streets around are full of great restaurants, breakfast spots, delis and pubs. The IFC cinema is two minutes away, as is the 4th Street subway. Perfect.
