Like the waist of skinny jeans one might find at Urban Outfitters, the price of this opulent townhouse keeps inching a bit lower. The former CEO, Glen Senk, and his husband Keith Johnson, a former buyer-at-large for Anthropologie, have listed their Anglo-Italianate townhouse in Greenwich Village once more. Over the course of the past two years, it’s been on the market for various prices, initially starting at $17 million and most recently dropping to $14.95 million last December. It’s now asking its lowest sum yet, a mere $12.8 million, though that’s still a considerable increase in value from their purchase price of $8 million.Upon entry, one is greeted with a masterful 18th-century English fireplace that immediately steals the show. Full casement windows allow exorbitant amounts of light to infiltrate all 5,000-square-feet of this aesthetically satiating home. Immerse yourself in the plum-colored fully lacquered library before getting a dose of nature by moving through gorgeous French doors that open directly onto a landscaped garden terrace.Much like the eclectic collection one would find at the hipster clothing store, Senk and Johnson have collected an array of historic elements from different regions and eras that they incorporated into their two year renovation of this five floor residence. Both men bring formidable design credentials to the table, and the result is a truly lavish, eclectic blend of art and ages. The stones that comprise the heated kitchen floor were imported from the streets of Bologna, Italy, while the marble used for the countertops was sourced from Philadelphia’s Independence Hall. A rustic chic aura melds with the power of a truly professional culinary setup. There is even a Florence-inspired wood-burning fireplace equipped with an industrial crank resembling a steering wheel, which moves a grill over the flames.The master suite consumes the entire fourth floor. Travel from the bedroom to the master bath through a walk in closet. Formerly a bedroom, the bathroom highlights hardwood floors, a gas fireplace adjacent to a freestanding tub and an 20th century shower by the windows. Another unique feature is the art deco wet bar with gilded walls that has a London-inspired lineage.All in all, you simply can’t go wrong with this expertly-renovated wonder. Originally, the townhouse was listed with Corcoran, but Curbed reports that it is now with Patricia Isen, Leslie Mason, and Betsy Green of Douglas Elliman.
