ghost writing sampleIn 2023, I had a stint working as a ghostwriter with 1stClassWriting.Com, a company focused on SEO content creation. During my time with 1stClass, I wrote long-form SEO-driven blogs for high-luxury real estate companies, with a focus on promoting visibility and online presence. Since ghostwriting bars bylines, below you’ll find a sample of an article I wrote detailing the most luxurious townhomes for sale in the West Village, NYC.
The West Village is one of Manhattan’s most beloved and desired neighborhoods, thanks to its classically charming New York streets, expansive food choices, and buzzing nightlife. As many of New York City’s finest neighborhoods, West Village townhouses are unarguably some of the most luxurious in the city.
If you’re interested in moving to the West Village, read on to learn more about the most impressive properties on the market. These gorgeous townhomes are just a couple of examples of the luxury and prestige you can expect if you work with the *Name of Client
XYZ Bank Street
Located in the heart of the West Village on the iconic Bank Street, this stunning single-family townhome comprises five floors, including a basement, a garden floor, and a penthouse deck. Built in the 1840s, XYZ Bank Street has undergone a highly extensive, multi-year renovation leaving the property with a modern twist on a Greek-revival style home comprising four beds, six baths, and an impressive 6,675 square feet of living space.
This property was meticulously renovated to maximize space, elegance, and function within the home’s extensive lot, and upon completion, this luxurious West Village townhome achieves just that. In the newly excavated basement, residents are greeted with not only an abundance of storage and system controls but, most impressively, an in-ground saltwater pool, laundry room, and bathroom. To explore the remainder of the sprawling residence, a windowed glass elevator assists by swiftly whisking residents across the unique spaces every floor has to offer.
Above the basement, on the garden floor, residents and guests can enter through a private “below the stoop” entrance and are greeted with a mud room, a powder room, a gourmet kitchen, and a breathtakingly high-ceilinged sitting room, all of which are complemented by the sunlit south-facing garden.
The striking, epicurean cook’s quarters are lined with diligently chosen custom cabinetry and brand-new, high-end appliances, such as the dual Lacanche stove, two Meile dishwashers, and an upmarket sub-zero fridge. The center island with seating and magnificent stone countertops make this kitchen feel as though it’s stepping straight out of a chef’s dreamscape.
The elegance continues on the second level, of course, on the parlor floor. In this story, two parlors, a dining room, and a living room are accompanied by wood-burning fireplaces and their own respective and unique views. The grand living room faces the south-facing garden on the floor below. The formal dining room features breathtaking views of the iconic Bank Street below, with the beautifully tree-lined sidewalks heightening the luxury feel of the entire home. Intertwining these two parlors is the butler’s pantry and powder room, with these additions essentially perfecting both the function and elegance of the parlor floor.
A rare feature of this home, derived from the extensive renovation, is unlike anything buyers and residents of NYC have seen before — a double-height library that opens to a penthouse rooftop deck above. The library was a new addition that unarguably brought an unprecedented level of elegance to this West Village home. The windowed glass elevator glides into the fifth floor, where hardwood built-ins, a Henry-built custom bar, and a dome skylight meet awe-struck guests and residents. Even more appealingly, the library’s penthouse level has a glass door opening out to the rooftop garden, where residents can enjoy a jaw-dropping view of the West Village.
ABC Cornelia Street
This fabulous Cornelia Street townhome has become iconic for being an upmarket celebrity home and for good reason. This beautiful West Village townhome is the New York equivalent of a mansion, with a total of four bedrooms, five full bathrooms, three floors, and a rooftop terrace. Built-in 1870 as a carriage house, ABC Cornelia Street has now transformed into a spectacularly idyllic home, thanks to its star-studded past residents and the epitome of elegance this home embodies. The residence promises a drive-in garage, an indoor pool, a classic brick-lined exterior, double-height ceilings, and beautiful hardwood floors. Truly, the grandeur of this property permeates each floor and feature.
On the home's lowest level, a pool and basalt stone tile floor greet guests as they lounge by the wood-burning fireplace and outside on the exterior patio. The pool measures a grand 30 by 15 feet with a depth of 5.5 feet, perfectly juxtaposing the lofty ceilings.
After taking in the luxury of the first-floor pool, lounge area, and patio, walk up to the second floor, where a gorgeous living room and kitchen await. The spacious living area is highlighted with beamed, jaw-dropping ceilings and a marble hearth wood-burning fireplace. Moreover, the luxury of privacy is leveled up by leaded glass windows throughout the second floor and blonde Russian ipe wood floors, leading to the beautifully sprawling kitchen.
Within this second-floor kitchen, a sub-zero refrigerator and wine fridge set the tone for the remainder of the space, ultimately solidifying this home as one of the most desirable West Village townhouses. Impressive views are promised through the floor-to-ceiling casement dining room windows. The kitchen features luxurious appointments at every turn: granite countertops, a double-drawer dishwasher, and a Wolf range. This property’s second floor offers its residents the perfect balance between the feeling of inclusion and privacy.
Before reaching the rooftop, the third floor boasts two suites, each with its own private terrace. The secondary suite’s balcony opens up to Cornelia Street just below, and the primary suite’s terrace features an entire outdoor lounge area and has the third and final fireplace in the home. Both suites feature walk-in closets, custom hardwood floors, and soaring ceilings. A serene marble bath and skylight grace the primary suite. On the rooftop level, the entire property is tied together with a private terrace providing mesmerizing views of the heart of the West Village.
