Sophisticated, stunning, elegant – the perfect description of this quadruple mint, renovated and spacious three-bedroom home. This prewar condominium developed by the renowned Bing & Bing is ideally positioned in the heart of Greenwich Village.
High-end architectural details are combined with brilliant design elements that make this home warm and inviting. No detail has been overlooked and all readily felt the minute one enters the home. The generous entrance gallery has lovely Venetian plaster walls, herringbone wood floors and a gracious hallway closet. This leads to an expansive open living room/dining room facing South over quaint 12th Street. There is light and sun all day plus beautiful skyline and treetop views as you sit by the window overlooking landmarked townhouses. A stunning working fireplace with a Chesney marble mantle anchors the room. Moldings surround the space and storage has been discreetly added. The dining area is large enough to host a dinner for 10, yet cozy for intimate gatherings.
The hallway leading to the primary bedroom is completely outfitted with custom mahogany closets. The sizable primary bedroom exudes a peaceful, Zen atmosphere – incredibly quiet and private with gorgeous neutral wallpaper, a second working fireplace (also with a Chesney marble mantle), stunning built-in dressers and beautiful western views over the city. This is a perfect place to unwind at the end of a busy day. The windowed spa-like bathroom has radiant heated floors, double sinks, a large walk-in marble shower with a bench. The bathroom is marble with venetian plaster walls. The enormous walk-in mahogany closet measures 10’6’ by 6’10’ and has been thoughtfully outfitted. There are two additional bedrooms, allowing for complete privacy for all. Both have magnificent windowed en-suite baths and walk-in closets.

Bear Donut is a reimagined retro American donut shop with South Korean flair. The new shop in NoMad will be baking fresh donuts twice daily, the first batch arriving at the counter at 10am and the next, 2pm, in three varieties of signature donuts developed by Jang: Bear Donuts, chewy and crispy donuts made with sweet rice flour in a bubble-ring shape dressed with powdered or glazed toppings like Powdered Sugar or Cheddar and Lavender or Pink Chocolate Glaze; Glazed Donuts, classic ring-shaped donuts also made with sweet rice flour in flavors ranging from Classic glaze to a sour Grapefruit Poppy; and specialty light and airy brioche Cream Puff Donuts, perfectly round and double the height of the other donut varieties filled with such options as Double Milk Tea and Matcha Custard, each topped with powdered sugar and Dirty Choco, filled with Nutella and glazed with semi-sweet chocolate.

Bear Donut also features coffee from La Colombe in the forms of fresh brew, cold brew, draft latte, and Bear Donut Coffee, a coffee float made of iced or hot coffee with milk soft serve.
Branding and Design: Bear Donut’s logo was designed by South Korean graphic designer Jo In Hyuk, who is known for his "newtro" artwork, a combination of "new" and "retro", referring to the trend of "modernized retro". Hyuk’s past projects include Fritz Coffee Company’s Café in Seoul, which revolutionized a new style of Korean vintage.
