11 West 126th Street, Unit GARDEN

Go Back To Previous Page

A rare New York treasure is revealed within this oversized 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom garden duplex, where The Dovecote’s signature Passive House philosophy converges with unparalleled private outdoor space. This is not just a garden; it is a meticulously curated, three-tiered sanctuary engineered for year-round, pin-drop quiet comfort.

Begin your tour on the connecting terrace off the primary bedroom and main living area. Here, your morning is perfectly tempered by high-performance triple-paned windows that reduce city noise to a whisper. Below, a sprawling middle garden is fully optimized for grand entertainment, featuring large-scale dark gray stone pavers, planters, and custom LED string lights that delineate the massive, multi-level footprint. Finally, a dedicated set of steps descends to the secluded lower-level court yard-a private grotto off the den that creates a seamless, indoor-outdoor lower retreat.

This entire multi-level environment is backdropped by a sleek, dark black wood-slat privacy fence and an expertly retained concrete wall that maximizes the abundant urban green space. Experience a life where premium finishes-from wide-plank white oak flooring to a Bosch chef’s kitchen-are matched by a sophisticated VRF HVAC system and a Passive House airtight seal. From the virtual doorman and private storage to the building’s facade featuring poetry by Rita Dove, every element of The Dovecote is designed to provide the ultimate sustainable sanctuary. A home this massive and private is rarely experienced. This is your sanctuary.
