It's standard-issue these days for NYC townhouses to come renovated to include two separate units, so the owner can rent at least one of them out for some extra cash. But you more typically see those types of properties in flipper-frequented neighborhoods like Bed-Stuy, rather than higher-end areas like the West Village, which makes this townhouse at 56 Charles Street something of a find. That, and the hot tub on the roof.

The property is currently divided into two units, with one apartment on the parlor level and garden level (complete with finished basement and backyard, neither of which is pictured), and the second apartment taking up the second, third, and fourth levels, include the rooftop terrace, which includes the aforementioned hot tub:
