Property Description

A West Village Restoration Opportunity Built by master craftsman Lavinius C. Heroy and sitting on a 25-foot wide lot with a horsewalk, this 21-foot-wide townhouse offers a rare canvas for reinvention on one of the West Village’s most distinguished blocks. Distinguished by a private side pathway, or a "horsewalk," the residence enjoys a unique architectural footprint that allows for three to four exposures, a skylight, and 32 windows, bathing the 5,100-square-foot (to be confirmed by architect) interior in exceptional natural light. The house is currently set up as a three-family, and could be optimally renovated into a single-family residence, or used as a live + income or pure investment property. While the structure retains its historic integrity—featuring original wide-plank floors, marble mantels, and sashmaker-crafted moldings—it awaits a comprehensive modern vision. Whether configured as a grand single-family home or a residence with a garden suite, the property offers a south-facing garden, private side access, and the volume to create a singular masterpiece. Located on arguably the best corner of the West Village, across from Tartine and surrounded by West 11th Street mansions, this is one of the best townhouse buys available on today's market.
