Set within a converted Romanesque Revival church, this unapologetically bold duplex penthouse is defined by dramatic architectural framework and commanding presence. This is not a conventional home, but a rare opportunity to inhabit a space where structure and historical context elevate rather than define, within one of Downtowns most distinctive residential conversions.
The upper level unfolds beneath double-height, 20-foot wood-clad ceilings with exposed beams, creating an atmosphere that is both expansive and immersive. Towering stained glass windows anchor the space, preserved and reimagined as luminous interior features introducing color, depth, and a sense of narrative that is entirely unique. The scale here is not simply impressive it leaves a lasting impression. That presence is embraced throughout the home. Alluring statement pendants and layered finishes reinforce a setting that is expressive, confident, and deeply individual.
Through the gallery, the open chef's kitchen continues this dialogue with bold contrast and graphic detailing. Conceived as both a functional workspace and the perfect gathering point flowing seamlessly into a spacious dining area that opens directly onto a phenomenal, 500 sf private terrace. Outfitted with a full outdoor kitchen, the terrace serves as a true extension of the home generous in proportion, with open sky views and thoughtfully positioned for entertaining, lounging, or simply relaxed outdoor dining.
Descending to the lower level, there are two expansive suites with a media room between. Whether imagined as creative studios, additional living areas, or simply bedrooms, each space carries the same architectural presence, enriched by stained glass elements and a composition of refined finishes.
Novare is a discreet, boutique condominium originally constructed in 1860 as the Washington Square Methodist Church widely known as the Peace Church. Converted in 2006 into a collection of just eight residences, the building retains its ecclesiastical scale and historic detailing, now reinterpreted for contemporary living.
Positioned at the convergence of Greenwich Village, the West Village, and SoHo, this address places you within one of downtowns most layered and livable enclaves. Just beyond your door, the neighborhood reveals itself in moments morning coffee at Buvette, long lunches at Via Carota, and evenings that move effortlessly between intimate enotecas and the quiet rhythm of tree-lined streets. Cultural anchors such as Film Forum and IFC Center offer a more thoughtful take on city energy, while Washington Square Park provides a space to step away without ever leaving downtown. Independent shops, long-standing institutions, and tucked-away streets define the experience here less about the expected, more about discernment.
Greenwich Village is the hip spot every artist, actor, and
activist dream of living in. From 14th to Houston, hugged by the
Hudson River and Broadway, this area is extremely popular with NYU
students, faculty, and young professionals. The establishments here
are popular with every New Yorker and visitor, meaning there's
always something to do in this trendy neighborhood.
Fun Facts and History of
Greenwich Village
Greenwich Village was not originally part of New York City.
Dutch Settlers and a formerly enslaved black population, liberated
after the first legal protest to take place in America, used the
land for tobacco farms. After New Netherlands was conquered by the
British in 1664, they left Greenwich as its own hamlet, separate
from New York City.
The name "Greenwich" first appears in NYC city records in 1713,
meaning it was likely incorporated into the rest of the city around
that time. After the American Revolution, Greenwich was the site of
