Washington Square West home melds old with new, asks $799K

This Washington Square West home has a pleasant surprise hiding behind its traditional brick facade: Its back-facing side features a wall of windows from top to bottom.

There are modern touches like this found throughout the entire 1,755-square-foot home, which has undergone a number of upgrades as recently as this year. There’s a new roof, for instance, as well as a renovated kitchen with sliding glass doors that open to the home’s private backyard.

Many of the modern finishes are coupled with the home’s original features. Exposed beams in the upstairs hallway live with the metal staircase railings, and original brick fireplace adds some extra old-world charm to what is currently set up as a nursery.

There are is also a basement and a small balcony off one of the bedrooms on the third floor.

The asking price of this three-bedroom, two and a half bath home is $799,000.
