From the outside it's a typical Greenwich Village brownstone on West 9th street. But walk inside and discover a home filled with rainbows that's controlled almost entirely by iPad.
"It's discrete luxury," said listing agent Chris Pomeroy of Halstead Property when we recently stopped by for a tour. "This house is meant for someone who is used to having the very finest things in life, but don't like to flaunt it in a gaudy way."
The pre-war townhouse has been transformed into a stunning five-bedroom, five-and-a-half bathroom home that's renting at a mind-blowing $75,000 a month. The finishing touches will be completed in about a week, and the apartment does not have a renter yet.
The 9,000-square-foot home has excellent natural light for a New York City abode, because the center of the home was cut out and replaced with a cube of glass—hence the rainbows reflected throughout. Look up from the basement and see the sky 65 feet up.
The house boasts a green footprint, using less gas and oil since the floors, heated radiantly, allow the temperature inside the home to change gradually.
Welcome to 6 West 9th Street. It's very discrete and you'd never know that insane amenities await inside.
Pass the foyer and walk into the living room. There is a dumbwaiter for residents to transport food, laundry or other objects they want to move between floors.
The living room and kitchen, both on the first floor, are separated by a glass cube that sections off the patio.
