The Convent of the Basilica of St. Patrick's Old Cathedral, this historic landmark dates back to 1826. Positioned on the most beautiful tree-lined section of Prince Street, in the traditional artist haven of the picturesque and most centrally located downtown neighborhood of SoHo. The gorgeous five-story and supremely rare for SoHo (and rare for downtown in general) sun-filled Federal Style mansion faces North and is uniquely set back from the street, romantically containing a magnificent outdoor, South-facing garden. While the inside has been, in every facet, lovingly renovated into one of the most detailed and graceful homes in Manhattan, the walls themselves are over a foot thick and made of stone that soundproofs the inside so that the space boasts a rare thing for New York City: silence.

With coveted views into the Church gardens, the building encompasses both a commercial-grade steel and leather-trimmed private elevator and hand-carved openly lit spiral staircase over the exposed 9,000+ square feet interior. The indoors fully open with extended glass doors that open the entire breadth of the room into the outdoors to create an indoor/outdoor level, extending the backyard's private garden, which includes a fire pit, built-in outdoor grill, and grassed area, with stones and flowered terraces, all South-facing, and poised for an unobstructed garden - which is highly protected from any form of city exposure and brings an unprecedented serenity. Immense care was taken to protect the integrity of historic value and structural features, including large original round windows on the top floor that view the magnificent Church's architecture. With three exposures and an abundance of windows, this home is light all day long and boasts spectacular views of the trees and greenery of Saint Patrick's Basilica. The seamless flow over the five floors includes eight bedrooms, seven full baths, three half baths, and three working fireplaces. Renovated with the most incredible luxury of functionality, like vents built into the marble walls trimmed with brass, each feature is texturally significant and sustained by a complete renovation of every single system of the home for the highest efficiency and world-class sustainability and quality, including air and water quality with the most high-end filtration.

Upon entry, the expansive living room with high ceilings, a fireplace with a marble hand-cut arch, a glamorous wet bar, and a fully open floor plan, a handmade spiraling staircase pulls in light from the skylights through original church beams. Downstairs, you have a truly beautiful open chef's kitchen and large immaculate entertaining and dining space, while on the garden level, there is also a living quarter with ground-level access. The second floor is the master suite with an enormous and back-lit custom closet, spa-like bathroom with both rain shower and one-piece stand-alone soaking tub with rare corner views offer a spectacular spa bath experience. The master floor also boasts its own private entrance media area/private office with an outstanding lookout view to Prince Street. The third floor has another three private bedrooms and a possible media screening room. The fourth and top floor has two bedrooms with large circular windows grandly separated by an expansive open living space with a vaulted high ceiling of the original church beams, and fireplace. Every bedroom has its own bathroom with finishes as luxurious as the master room quarters. The finished cellar is currently set up as a complete storage space with room for larger items like luggage and bicycles, and a separated wrap around mirrored wellness studio.

The location of this historically meaningful home is the absolute heart of culture, the epitome of New York's shopping boutiques that still contain the avant-garde and original, and the most beloved of the New York eateries. The location is truly unrivaled. Historic
