A truly once-in-a-lifetime offering in Greenwich Village, just one block from Washington Square Park - **the only full-floor residence in the building** and one of the most extraordinary loft conversions ever offered in this historic district. Residence 5EW at **173 MacDougal Street** was created through the seamless combination of two apartments and gut-renovated to the studs, resulting in an expansive, luminous home of approximately 4,635 square feet.
The interiors were designed by **Betty Wasserman**.
A private keyed elevator opens directly into a gracious reception gallery, introducing a residence that masterfully balances architectural drama with everyday livability.
**The Great Room & Architectural Presence**
A breathtaking 40' 25' Great Room anchors the home, defined by **five oversized windows**, including **three dramatic arched windows** that create a uniquely striking architectural aesthetic. The living and dining areas benefit from **double-corner exposure** with North, South, East, and West light, bathing the space in natural sunlight throughout the day and offering sweeping Village and skyline views.
**Layout & Bedrooms**
The residence offers **four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and one powder room**, with **every bedroom featuring its own en-suite bath**, ensuring privacy and comfort for family and guests.
The 30' 15' primary suite is a private retreat, complete with a gas fireplace, open sunset views, and a **private balcony** ideal for morning coffee or evening cocktails. The spa-inspired primary bath features slab marble finishes, radiant heated floors, dual vanity, soaking tub, and a **steam shower**, creating a true wellness sanctuary.
**Media, Kitchen & Service**
A dedicated **den/media room with a wet bar area** provides a refined yet comfortable secondary gathering space, ideal for entertaining or relaxed evenings at home.
The handcrafted English kitchen by Smallbone of Devizes is outfitted with Sub-Zero refrigeration, Wolf cooking appliances, and two Miele dishwashers - designed for serious culinary execution.

**Infrastructure & Modern Systems**
The residence was completely re-engineered with state-of-the-art systems, including:
- Radiant heated floors throughout the entire apartment
- Full Crestron smart-home system controlling sound, lighting, and climate
- In-ceiling speakers
- Museum-quality art lighting
- Integrated climate zones
Built circa 1890 and converted to luxury condominium in 2008, 173 MacDougal is a boutique doorman building that marries historic architecture with contemporary refinement.
To own a **true full-floor, 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath condominium loft of this scale within one block of Washington Square Park is extraordinarily rare**. In a neighborhood defined by smaller floor-through residences and co-ops, Residence 5EW stands alone in size, privacy, architectural presence, and design pedigree.
A Greenwich Village trophy property - singular, irreplaceable, and virtually impossible to replicate.
