Fashion designer Marc Jacobs has listed his chic West Village town house for $15.9 million, Variety reports.

The designer purchased the property in 2009 as raw space for almost $10.5 million. He then tapped André Tchelistcheff, and interior designers Paul Fortune, John Gachot, and Thad Hayes to finish it out. Transformed, the four-story oasis is extolled as a “stylish living and entertaining space,” and showcases the owner’s extensive art collection.

A feast for the eyes, the three-bedroom layout features an oak-paneled family room with glass doors leading out to the courtyard.

A large living and dining area offers floor-to-ceiling windows, and there’s a sleek galley kitchen as well as an office. An additional 1,462 square feet of idyllic outdoor space includes a private garden and a roof deck. The four floors are connected by elevator and stairs.

Not surprisingly, the stylish spot caught the eye of Architectural Digest. “Impeccably composed and curated, the four-floor Greenwich Village town house evokes the air of old-school chic,” the publication noted.

The town house is part of the celeb-filled Superior Ink complex, designed by the architect Robert A. M. Stern. The project includes 50 condos and seven town houses, all on the site of the former Superior Ink factory. 

In addition to the posh abode, a new owner will have access to the building’s high-end amenities, including a 24-hour door attendant and concierge, a gym, a garage, and storage space.

Completed in 2009, the 17-story building has been a celebrity magnet. Along with Jacobs, A-list residents include the actress Hilary Swank, who snagged the $31.5 million penthouse. Other celeb owners include Kings of Leon band member Caleb Followill and his wife, Lily Aldridge, as well as NASCAR star Jimmie Johnson.

By the way, lower-priced units are available in the building. Check out this luxe, one-bed, one-bath for $2.7 million, with views of the Empire State Building.

Along with the well-appointed residences, the prime location is also a draw. Enjoy proximity to the popular High Line elevated park, and the shops and restaurants in the Meatpacking District. The address is also just across from the Hudson River and Chelsea Piers.

Along with creating a dream home, Jacobs is head of his high-end, self-named fashion label. He is newly married to Charly Defrancesco, and the couple have changed their focus to a $9 million Frank Lloyd Wright home in Rye, NY, according to the Wall Street Journal.
