BOW FRONT BEAUTY. Built in 1852 for the Trustees of Trinity Church, this 25 townhouse wasand remainsa most remarkable one of a kind West Village home, most especially because of its polygonal bay windows and bowed faade. This unusual design has made this house a Mecca for filmmakers looking for a distinctive presence. In fact, the house was Harrison Fords residence in "Working Girl"; Matthew Brodericks in "The Night We Never Met" and Winona Ryders in "Autumn in New York". Other movies ranging from Robert Redford in "Quiz Kid" to a Madonna video have all been shot on the premises, and SELF magazine held their 25th Anniversary Party here. The current owner has used this as a single family home for decades. Now this townhouse is ready for your renovation and what a superb canvas it is! The proportions are outstanding and the ample width makes a difference both in usable space and the generous feeling inside. Ceiling heights vary from 1210 on the parlor floor to 148 at the top of the house and there are tall windows on 3 of the buildings 4 sides which allow more light and design choices than most townhouses. The large 40 foot plus Southern garden is waiting to be planted; theres space for as many bedrooms as you need, andbest of allthere is a triple parlor where 3 of the houses 9 fireplaces are located. The parlor also contains some original details such as sliding doors and mantles and it gives a sense of the homes special grandeur. There is additional F.A.R. available, which is almost non-existent in the Village. Carpe diem et domus!
