66 Morton St

BOW FRONT BEAUTY. Built in 1852 for the Trustees of Trinity Church, this 25Ã?â?? townhouse wasÃ?â??and remainsÃ?â??a most remarkable one of a kind West Village home, most especially because of its polygonal bay windows and bowed faÃ?§ade. This unusual design has made this house a Mecca for filmmakers looking for a distinctive presence. In fact, the house was Harrison FordÃ?â??s residence in 'Working Girl'; Matthew BroderickÃ?â??s in 'The Night We Never Met' and Winona RyderÃ?â??s 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 12Ã?â??10Ã?â?? on the parlor floor to 14Ã?â??8Ã?â?? at the top of the house and there are tall windows on 3 of the buildingÃ?â??s 4 sides which allow more light and design choices than most townhouses. The large 40 foot plus Southern garden is waiting to be planted; thereÃ?â??s space for as many bedrooms as you need, andÃ?â??best of allÃ?â??there is a triple parlor where 3 of the houseÃ?â??s 9 fireplaces are located. The parlor also contains some original details such as sliding doors and mantles and it gives a sense of the homeÃ?â??s special grandeur. There is additional F.A.R. available, which is almost non-existent in the Village. Carpe diem et domus!
