Townhouse Living, One Flight Up

On a tree-lined, cobblestoned stretch of West 12th Street, between West 4th and 8th Avenue, sits a five-unit Greek Revival townhouse dating to the mid-1800s. Residence 2R was renovated to the studs and completed in November 2025, with a light hand where it counted. The wood-burning fireplace still anchors the living room. The rest was rebuilt for the way people live now.

Look up first. The living room ceiling steps back into a recessed panel lit from its edges, a custom detail that makes the room glow in the evening. New windows line the far wall, with a natural spot for a desk between them. The kitchen stays open to the living space, clean white cabinetry around a Bertazzoni range, microwave and refrigerator. A Mitsubishi ductless mini-split system handles heat and air conditioning room by room, with the condenser on the roof and the lines inside the walls, so no window units interrupt the view.

In the converted bedroom, a full wall of custom open closets does the work a dressing room would. The bath has been redone with a glass-enclosed shower and a floating vanity, and the automated shades and drapery from The Shade Store stay with the apartment.

It works as a full-time home or a city pied-à-terre, which the board permits with review. The building is pet-friendly with board consent, and an in-unit washer/dryer may be added with board approval.
