Formerly a synagogue, this prized 4-story townhouse is one of New York City's most unique homes. Younger sophisticates will love this setting, but the design and layout are ageless in appeal. It's a marvel and masterpiece - from the 22-foot cathedral ceilings, to the three terrace gardens and chef's kitchen, you'll find artistry in every corner. Be amongst the high-fly celebs and enjoy a five star hotel-style experience in this rare and coveted gem.

Home truths

    Be prepared to haul your luggage – this four-floor townhouse does not have an elevator, and there are lots of steps to reach the top floor

    There is some wear and tear considering the home's entertainment history

    Staying in the East Village, be prepared for traffic and congested routes to get across the city - and the nearest subway is about a 15-minute walk

    As this is a lived-in home, you might find some of the host's personal belongings throughout

About Alphabet City

Alphabet City is located in the eastern part of the uber-cool East Village. It may once have been considered dangerous - and it definitely still retains a slightly gritty feel in parts - but today it is mainly filled with a mix of affluent New Yorkers, NYU students and longtime arty residents. This mix gives Alphabet City a personality that runs deep no matter how many new buildings spring up....
