Melanie Lazenby and Dina Lewis at Prudential Douglas Elliman have gone to contract on the funky Greenwich Village water tank apartment.
The tank (right) was turned into a “rooftop cottageˮ during a renovation by Messana O’Rorke Architects.
It has its own central air, heat, cable, and 24 ft. ceilings and overlooks a wooden deck planted with trees and trellised vines. Access to the cottage is via a spiral staircase leading from the two-bedroom condo loft underneath.
The condo has “a large entertaining spaceˮ with a fireplace and “oversized windows.ˮ There are 12 ft. ceilings plenty of skylights and a spa bathroom. The asking price for the package was $3.6 million. Lewis and Lazenby had no comment on the buyer.
