New York Garden House, Estate of the Day

Today's home is a 1911 West Village warehouse in New York City. The home was the former residence and art gallery of noted collector Walter P. Chrysler, Jr. and was redesigned in 1992 by the current owner. There's lots to love about this one, especially the amazing amount of outdoor space, around 2,500 square feet of terraces and gardens. The home includes rooftop gardens a lawn and even a rose garden. The home's interior clearly reveals its warehouse roots with boxy, industrial lines . There are five bedrooms and upstairs there is an enclosed lap pool with a fireplace. The listing calls it the ultimate country house in the city. It is listed at $17.9 million. After the jump, something about that pool is just not appealing.
