Malaki ang sukat at mayamang kasaysayan, ang 10 West 9th Street ay isang townhhouse na may lapad na 25 talampakan, humigit-kumulang 7,600 square foot, na matatagpuan sa pangunahing Gold Coast ng Greenwich Village, ilang hakbang mula sa Fifth Avenue at Washington Square Park. Itinayo noong 1841 ng mayamang mangangalakal ng kahoy na si Thomas McKie, ang anim na palapag na Greek Revival ay kumakatawan sa karangyaan ng kanyang panahon at nag-aalok ng pambihirang pagkakataon, ang una sa loob ng anim na dekada, upang magkaroon ng natatanging halimbawa ng kasaysayan ng Greenwich Village at maging bahagi ng susunod na kabanata nito.

Sa loob ng halos dalawang siglo, ang tahanang ito, na nasa timog na bahagi ng West 9th Street, ay tumanggap ng isang pambihirang hanay ng mga residente at bisita at naging isang masiglang salon para sa mga kilalang artista, manunulat at intelektwal, na sumasalamin sa enerhiya at orihinalidad na laging nagbigay-katangian sa lugar na ito. Ngayon, ang nakabibilib na townhouse na ito ay nakatayo bilang isang maganda at mahusay na napanatiling kayamanan ng arkitektura at isang patotoo sa artistic at cultural legacy ng Greenwich Village.

Ang arkitektura ng bahay ay kasing espesyal ng kanyang kasaysayan. Ang magandang tanso na mansard roof ay bumabalot sa isang hindi mauulit na dalawang palapag na skylight window wall na nagpapasok ng banayad na liwanag mula sa hilaga sa 5th floor duplex at sa 17' ceiling nito. Ang dalawang pinakamataas na palapag ay itinayo noong 1922 ng kilalang artista na si William Glackens, tagapagtatag ng Ashcan School, at ng kanyang asawang artista na si Edith Dimock, na ginamit ang mga ito bilang isang malaking artist studio na kumpleto sa isang terasyon sa 5th floor na nakaharap sa hardin at mga puno. Ang mga likha ni Glackens ay malawakan na kinolekta at umabot sa Metropolitan Museum of Art, Corcoran Gallery, Carnegie Institute, Addison Gallery, at maraming kilalang pribadong koleksyon.

Ang parlor floor ay nagtatampok ng isang malaking, open-plan na sala at dining room, mga kisame na higit sa 13', dalawang antigong fireplace, magagandang pilasters, capitals at moldings, at malalaking naibalik na pinto. Isang buong lapad, floor-to-ceiling na window wall ang nagdadala sa likod na terasyon, na nagbubukas sa isang malaking, maaraw, timog na nakaharap na pribadong hardin na napapalibutan ng mga matataas na, mature na puno.

Ang antas ng hardin ay nag-aalok ng posibilidad ng isang napakalawak, buong-haba, floor-through na espasyo na direktang nagbubukas sa likod na hardin, o maaari itong panatilihin sa kasalukuyan nitong ayos, na kinabibilangan ng isang studio apartment na may hiwalay na entrance sa ilalim ng stoop, perpekto para sa mga bisita, tulong sa bahay o gamit opisina.

Isang buong sub-basement, na maaaring muling maisip bilang isang fitness center/spa/playroom/theatre, ay kasalukuyang naglalaman ng boiler at malalaking lugar ng imbakan.

Ang bahay ay nagtatampok ng iba pang nakabibilib na detalye ng arkitektura, kabilang ang anim na fireplace (ilang may orihinal na mantels at surrounds), isang orihinal na Dutch oven, mga kisame na higit sa 11' sa mga kwarto sa 3rd floor, dalawang karagdagang skylights sa 6th floor, isang mainit na brick façade na may brownstone na trim, isang dramatikong stoop na may masalimuot na ironwork na may kasamang rosettes, palmettes at Greek key motifs, isang entry door na pinalilibutan ng matataas na pilasters na may acanthus capitals, at isang three-paned transom na nagpapapasok ng natural na liwanag sa panlabas na foyer.

Isang grandfathered, apat na palapag na rear extension ang nag-aalok ng maraming posibleng gamit para sa hinaharap na may-ari ng bahay, kabilang ang isang breakfast room, home offices, guest rooms at karagdagang pribadong espasyo sa labas. Batay sa apruba ng LPC at DOB, maaari din itong magamit bilang batayan upang palawakin ang kasalukuyang footprint ng ari-arian, isang pagsisikap na matagumpay na isinagawa ng ilang kapitbahay sa nakaraang dekada.

Ang sobrang lapad na anim na palapag na townhouse at timog na nakaharap na hardin ay maaaring ibigay na walang laman, at sa kasalukuyang merkado ay ganap na nakaposisyon upang maibalik sa orihinal na karangyaan bilang isang personal na mansyon sa Greenwich Village. Huwag palampasin ang pagkakataong tawaging iyo ang 10 West 9th Street.

Ang karagdagang mga materyales sa marketing ay magagamit sa kahilingan, at ang mga tour ay mahigpit na ayon sa appointment lamang.

Grand in scale and rich in history, 10 West 9th Street is a 25-foot-wide, approximately 7,600 square foot townhouse located in Greenwich Village's prime Gold Coast, steps away from Fifth Avenue and Washington Square Park. Constructed in 1841 by wealthy lumber merchant Thomas McKie, the six-story Greek Revival embodies the elegance of its era and represents a rare opportunity, the first in six decades, to own this unique example of Greenwich Village history and become part of its next chapter.

For almost two centuries, this home, situated on the south side of West 9th Street, has welcomed an extraordinary array of residents and visitors and been a vibrant salon for notable artists, writers and intellectuals, reflecting the energy and originality that has always defined this neighborhood. Today, this commanding townhouse stands as a beautifully preserved architectural gem and a testament to the artistic and cultural legacy of Greenwich Village.

The home's architecture is as special as its history. A beautiful, copper mansard roof frames an impossible-to-duplicate two-story skylight window wall that floods the 5th floor duplex and its 17' ceilings with gentle Northern light. These top two floors were constructed in 1922 by famed artist William Glackens, founder of the Ashcan School, and his wife, artist Edith Dimock, who used them as a grand artist's studio complete with a 5th floor terrace overlooking the garden and trees. Glackens' work was highly collected and has hung in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Corcoran Gallery, Carnegie Institute, Addison Gallery, and many notable private collections.

The parlor floor features a huge, open-plan living and dining room, ceilings that soar more than 13', two antique fireplaces, beautiful pilasters, capitals and moldings, and massive restored doors. A full-width, floor-to-ceiling window wall leads to the rear terrace, which opens onto a large, sunny, south-facing private garden flanked by tall, mature trees.

The garden level offers the possibility of an enormous, full-length, floor-through space opening directly into the rear garden, or can be kept in its current configuration, which includes a studio apartment with a separate under-stoop entrance, perfect for guests, household help or office use.

A full sub-basement, which can be reimagined as a fitness center/spa/playroom/theatre, currently houses the boiler and huge storage areas.

The house features other impressive architectural details, including six fireplaces (some with original mantels and surrounds), an original Dutch oven, ceilings of more than 11' in the 3rd floor bedrooms, two additional 6th floor skylights, a warm brick facade trimmed in brownstone, a dramatic stoop with intricate ironwork incorporating rosettes, palmettes and Greek key motifs, an entry door framed by tall pilasters capped with acanthus capitals, and a three-paned transom that allows natural light into the exterior foyer.

A grandfathered, four-story rear extension lends itself to many possible uses for the future homeowner, including a breakfast room, home offices, guest rooms and additional private outdoor spaces. Subject to LPC and DOB approval, it could also be used as the basis to expand the property's current footprint, an effort successfully accomplished by several neighbors in the past decade.

This extra-wide, six-story townhouse and south-facing garden can be delivered vacant, and in today's marketplace is perfectly positioned to be restored to its original grandeur as a personal Greenwich Village mansion. Don't miss this opportunity to call 10 West 9th Street your own.
