Back on the market!

Rarely does a property of this distinction and unique footprint come to market; a historic Greek Revival Townhouse, with a 3-Story Private Guest House, in the heart of Greenwich Village. Charles Lockwood, in his classic "Bricks and Brownstones" describes the setting of 38 west 11th street as "The row of Greek Revival dwellings on the south side of West 11th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues as one of the finest early 19th Century Streetscapes in the area". This location, often referred to as " the Gold Coast" offers the opportunity to create a home of extraordinary proportions, incorporating two distinct buildings situated on the most sought-after street in Greenwich Village----a classic townhouse with a separate three-story guest house. Both buildings are 22 feet wide on a 94-foot lot.

As a Greek revival townhouse, the proportions are graceful and elegant, retaining architectural details of the 19th century such as high ceilings and fireplaces. The main house is connected to the guest house by two galleries creating a picturesque secret garden--- an urban oasis in the heart of the city, with the ambiance of an inner courtyard in Provence. Both the parlor floor and the gallery have French doors opening out to two separate, sunny balconies for garden viewing. The guest house, although connected on two floors to the main house, is its own entity with three floors overlooking the garden, and the feel of a country cottage with a fireplace in the main room There is garden access from several levels of the house. The easily accessible roofs offer the possibility of excellent roof gardens with views of the entire property. Once divided into four apartments, the property is now " a white box" or a "blank canvas" where the new owner can clearly view the many possibilities that may suite their individual life style. This remarkable property awaits the vision of a new owner to create one of New York's most celebrated residence.
