Fully furnished ultra-luxe West Village townhouse rental available immediately.

14 St. Luke’s Place is an authentic Italianate-style townhouse dating from 1852 that has been restored and renovated into a modern oasis with full attention to the sanctity of its original construction and design. Set on a 22’x100’ lot and spanning over 5,000 square feet across five floors plus a finished basement, the house includes an elevator, four terraces, and a large 58’ deep landscaped back garden. Restoration brought the home up to date with most rigorous modern codes, transforming it into an environmentally conscious passive house.
