A true garden oasis in the heart of the West Village. This meticulously renovated garden floor home is an architectural and design gem. Once the home of famed photographer Walker Evans, whose work hangs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, no stone was left unturned in the years-long renovation of this 1 bedroom + home office/1 bathroom apartment. The living room is centered around the stunning, wood-burning fireplace and has floor to ceiling casement windows and doors which lead to the outdoor dining area. The open chef's kitchen is draped in Calacatta marble and features a Wolf stove, oven and speed oven, Miele refrigerator and built-in Miele coffee/espresso machine, Cove dishwasher and sub-zero wine fridge, as well as great counter and storage space. The oversized, primary bedroom also has a large wood-burning fireplace and is replete with fantastic built-in storage and closet space. The large bathroom features Ann Sachs marble tile, Kohler fixtures, an oversized walk-in shower with custom-designed steel shower enclosure, Toto toilet as well as radiant heat floors and towel rack. There is an additional small room which makes for the perfect home-office or nursery. The standout feature of this special home is the approx. 800 sf bi-level landscaped garden, which is a true site to behold. On the lower, dining level there is a massive built-in Lynx gas grill, built-in heat lamps for all-year dining and room for a large dining table perfect for your garden dinner parties. Sitting atop the stone staircase is the beautifully landscaped upper-level garden which features a 100+ year old Magnolia tree, room for a large outdoor living room and separate chaise lounges making for your perfect city escape. The entire garden has full in-ground irrigation, an in-ground mosquito repellant misting system, as well as a built-in outdoor sound system. Additional features of this special home include European fumed wide-plank oak floors, beautiful wood-beamed ceilings, multi-zoned Sonos architecturally-designed sound system, central HVAC and custom California closets throughout. 23 Bethune Street is an intimate coop comprised of two adjacent townhouses totaling 7 units, which sits on arguably one of the most charming blocks in the West Village.
