2 Horatio Street 2SNew York, NY 10014

A West Village Home with a Designer's Eye

There are apartments you admire, and there are apartments you simply never want to leave. Residence 2S at 2 Horatio Street is decidedly the latter-a gracious, deeply personal one-bedroom overlooking Jackson Square Park, with the warmth and character of a beautifully collected Parisian flat in the heart of the West Village.

The coveted S-line is distinguished by something no other line in the building possesses: a continuous five-window expanse across the living and dining room, framing the trees of Jackson Square like a living work of art. Every window in the residence faces the park, placing greenery and changing seasons just beyond the glass, while the park itself provides a welcome buffer from the energy of Hudson Street and Eighth Avenue beyond.

The longtime home of a former creative director of one of the world's leading architecture and design firms, Residence 2S reflects the unmistakable eye of someone who has spent a career thinking about how spaces should look, feel and function. Sophisticated but never precious, the home has the character of a space considered and collected over time-where art, color and objects coexist effortlessly with beautiful proportions and an extraordinary connection to the park.

The experience begins at the entry, enveloped in the authentic cobalt-blue paint formula of French artist Yves Klein-a striking introduction to a home where art and design are inseparable from the architecture. A custom cerused-oak divider creates a proper foyer and gracious sense of arrival while defining the living room beyond. From there, the home opens into a beautifully proportioned living and dining room, where dark parquet floors, custom built-ins and generous walls for art provide a rich backdrop, while that extraordinary bank of windows keeps the park ever-present.

At approximately 14 feet wide and nearly 19 feet long, the living room offers genuinely generous proportions, complemented by a separate dining area that comfortably accommodates a table for six.
The recently updated kitchen is equally considered, pairing crisp white cabinetry and counters with warm wood accents, stainless-steel appliances, excellent storage and generous workspace.

The large bedroom is its own quiet retreat, again overlooking the trees of Jackson Square, with ample room for a king-size bed and more. Storage is exceptional for a one-bedroom, with three substantial walk-in closets, including an unusually generous dressing area adjacent to the bath. The bright bath is finished in timeless white tile and marble with a glass-enclosed tub and shower.

And then there is the setting. Jackson Square feels almost like the apartment's private garden, yet outside the front door is one of the most coveted corners of downtown Manhattan, where the West Village, Greenwich Village and Meatpacking District converge. Restaurants, cafés, shops, galleries, the High Line and Hudson River Park are all moments away.

Residence 2S is that increasingly elusive kind of New York home: distinctive without trying too hard, sophisticated without sacrificing comfort, and deeply connected to its surroundings.
