Hamish Bowles List Greenwich Village Apartment for $2.9 Million

The home’s wall molding, hardwood floors, fireplace, and 16-and-a-half-foot coffered ceilings are among its untouched features from its mid-1920s origins. New additions include custom millwork and a hyper-realistic painted door, which would often amusingly stump guests, Bowles told the Times. The home, which sits on the first two floors of a brick and limestone building between Broadway and University Place, features a large foyer, a galley kitchen, a bathroom, and bedroom-turned-dining room on the first floor, and the primary bedroom with an en suite bathroom on the second floor. 

Prior to Hamish Bowles moving into the unit in 2008, the home was owned by a literary agent who had lived there since the 1950s. “Before the pandemic I led a strangely peripatetic life and my New York apartment was a wonderfully comforting place to return to,” Bowles told The New York Times. “During the pandemic it became a salvation—and a marvelous place for me to call home.”
