A quiet and "secret" enclave in the heart of Greenwich Village for over 100 years, the houses on Sullivan - MacDougal Gardens are an oasis amidst the excitement of downtown Manhattan. Long a home to some of New York's most illustrious inhabitants, especially in the worlds of art and entertainment, the Gardens are utterly unique. A collection of 20 historic townhouses, each with a private garden that gives on to the great central shared greenspace.

86 MacDougal Street, rarely available to be rented, is centrally placed among these houses, and the interior has been updated with a mix of modern and traditional detail.

The ground floor is a flexible open living space with lovely renovated kitchen, dining and living room (with fireplace), leading on to the expansive private garden. Upstairs are three bedrooms plus a full floor studio/living room space with skylight, and 2 1/2 baths. The primary bedroom has its own private balcony, a dreamy place to view the trees and greenery.
