The West Village neighborhood of Manhattan is flooded with pricey pre-war gems, but it’s not every day you spot a circa-1970s home on these storied blocks. Of course, the supermodel Karlie Kloss is always ahead of the game and owns one such unique property, which is now up for sale asking $2.75 million.Besides having picturesque appeal, the townhouse may have attracted the former Victoria’s Secret angel back in 2012 because of its unique set up and iconic location. While most Manhattan townhouses offer outdoor space in the rear of the home, this special listing has a front garden instead. Quite avant-garde! However, not just any passerby can stop in front to read a book, there are wrought iron gates to keep residents safe and sound to enjoy the lush green space in peace.Inside, the tranquil vibes continue with airy open spaces, beautiful plants, and a neutral color palette. It feels far more California than New York thanks to a breeziness you can’t quite put your finger on, plus plenty of clean lines and wicker décor elements. When you’re on the second floor terrace basking in the sun, you can almost smell the sea. That is, if you close your eyes and block out any honking yellow cabs nearby.Kloss is parting ways with the home now, but it seems the Project Runway host hasn’t occupied the space much recently. Just this summer, the model and her husband, Josh Kushner, sold their much fancier Nolita apartment. Perhaps the couple is saying goodbye to New York for good, or looking for greener pastures within the city.Nick Gavin of Compass has the listing, which Mansion Global first reported is for sale.
