Today Architectural Digest brings you to the West Village in New York City to tour 60 Bethune Street, a luxury townhouse currently on the market for $14,950,000.

With 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms spread over 4 floors, this property is a relaxing respite from the hustle and bustle of the city outside.
