42 Jane Street

Historic elements and modern amenities combine harmoniously in this beautifully-renovated corner townhouse located on one of the most desirable streets in Manhattan. Blesso Properties purchased this circa-1845, Neo-Grec building at a below market price and transformed the outdated two-family building into a sunlit single-family residence. Windows were inserted to create a rare third exposure overlooking a lush community garden. The master suite, generously laid out on a full floor features a fireplace and walk-through closet leading to a sunny, opulent, white stone bathroom. The penthouse was turned into an additional studio space with a wet bar and a roof terrace with fireplace and Empire State Building views. Downstairs, the casual dining room with wood-burning fireplace adjoins the Italian kitchen overlooking the rear herb garden. Once completed, 42 Jane sold for a per-square-foot price that puts it within the top five highest sales ever for a downtown townhouse.
