Imagine yourself in this beautiful home, built in 1851 and renovated in 1979, with stylish customization added through the years. Imagine yourself in the heart of the West Village, surrounded by the best shops and restaurants, in the city's most coveted neighborhood. Imagine owning your own land, with the privacy of a single family home, and a charming back garden. Imagine enjoying a sun-dappled breakfast under the glass ceiling of the dining room, or curling up beneath the book shelves of the home library. Imagine soaking in the 1790s French copper tub surrounded by handmade Italian tiles, or cooking a feast on the vintage cast iron Aga range. Imagine climbing the Dutch-classic spiral stairs made by the original owner, a German shipbuilder, to the two bedrooms and baths. This magical life awaits you in this special home. Bring your architect to this Greek revival-style townhome located in the preservation district and polish this gem to perfection. Delivered vacant and priced to sell, this is THE MOST AFFORDABLE house in the neighborhood! Note: Property has mixed zoning of R6 with a sliver of frontage as C2-6, so commercial use may be possible. Updates are governed by historic landmark preservation rules.
