A Rare Loft-Style Duplex in the Heart of the West Village
Tucked away on one of the West Village's most sought-after streets, this distinctive 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom loft-style duplex at 72 Horatio Street offers an exceptional combination of prewar character, expansive living space, and thoughtful versatility. Set within a boutique 1907 Romanesque Revival building, originally a converted stable, the home retains rare architectural detail throughout, including soaring ceilings, exposed brick, and decorative tin ceilings. Original in its finishes and untouched for decades, the home is fully livable as-is and presents a rare opportunity to renovate and restore its prewar bones to today's standards.
The gracious main level centers around an open living and dining area with a generous kitchen and a wood-burning fireplace, creating an inviting space for both everyday living and entertaining. A private rear entrance adds everyday convenience rarely found in a Village duplex. Above, a loft-style mezzanine overlooks the dramatic open space below, adding an architectural element that gives the home its unique character. The upper level also offers a cozy home office area alongside a private bedroom, creating a flexible retreat for guests, work, or additional living space, with the potential to convert into a third bedroom.
The primary bedroom suite is privately positioned on the main level, offering a comfortable sanctuary with the convenience of being separated from the upstairs bedroom. Abundant storage throughout the home, including a private storage unit in the basement, adds an especially practical element that is rarely found in the Village.
With its prewar charm, generous proportions, loft-like volume, flexible two-level layout, and blank-canvas potential for a buyer looking to make it their own, 72 Horatio Street is a truly special West Village home.
Located in the heart of the classic West Village, the property is surrounded by the neighborhood's iconic tree-lined streets, historic architecture, charming townhouses, and some of downtown Manhattan's best restaurants, cafés, and boutiques. Just moments from the Hudson River waterfront, Meatpacking District, and Greenwich Village, the location offers the quintessential downtown lifestyle while retaining the intimate, residential feel that makes the West Village so coveted.
A unique home in one of New York City's most desirable neighborhoods, 72 Horatio Street offers the space, character, and charm of a true Village original - ready to be reimagined by its next owner.
