This townhouse upper duplex at 332 West 19th Street is currently owned by one of New York City’s most sought-after architects, James Corner, principal of James Corner Field Operations. The firm is known for high-profile projects like the High Line and Domino Park, among many others. An architectural eye is evident here, as the two-bedroom home’s interiors are not only easy on the eyes, but configured so that every inch of space is just right for living. Asking $2,995,000, the perfectly-designed duplex is capped by a gardener’s dream of a private roof deck; this idyllic outdoor space is on another level both literally and figuratively.
The home’s main space is a bespoke living/dining room. Painted coffered wood ceilings are sophisticated and fresh, above dark wood floors that stretch seamlessly throughout. Eye-catching details include a wood-burning fireplace and custom built-in shelving in the style of Charlotte Perriand.
A sleek, European-style kitchen offers all the essentials, quietly concealed behind architectural design.
On the home’s upper level, a large, tranquil primary bedroom is served by an en-suite bath. As with the rest of the home, built-in storage is everywhere. The second bedroom has its own bath, which is also home to the apartment’s washer and dryer.
Atop this stylish duplex is a private outdoor oasis on the roof. Surrounded by verdant plantings, this 600-square-foot space features an outdoor kitchen and bar and plenty of room for seating and private conversations. This Manhattan townhouse home is part of a co-op that allows pets, pieds-a-terre, and parents purchasing for children.
