Description
A 1910 Gold Coast Mansion of Grand Scale, Light and Village Views Majestic in scale and presence, 20 West 12th Street is a rare Greenwich Village townhouse reimagined as a unified single-family residence. 26 feet wide and extending 80 feet on a 103-foot lot, this brick-and-stone mansion combines extraordinary proportions, abundant light, private outdoor space and remarkable flexibility. The residence offers the potential for up to eight bedrooms and seven-and-a-half baths. Its existing Certificate of Occupancy reflects a six-apartment Class A configuration, presenting an opportunity to explore future multi-unit use. Northern, southern and rare eastern exposures fill the home with natural light, while ceilings reaching approximately 12 feet reinforce its impressive scale. Seven original wood-burning fireplaces remain intact. Updated building systems are complemented by central air conditioning, a recently serviced Otis elevator and a pristine cellar with ceiling heights exceeding six feet. At the heart of the residence is an approximately 30-foot Christopher Peacock-designed kitchen opening directly onto the private garden. Espresso cabinetry, dark natural granite and brass-toned hardware are paired with a Thermador appliance suite featuring an induction range, smart wall oven, paneled refrigeration, wine column and plumbed coffee system. The brick-paved garden and adjoining side yard are framed by mature plantings, including a magnificent blooming magnolia, bespoke stonework and a mirror installation by Jamie Drake. The direct connection between kitchen and garden creates an effortless setting for entertaining. The parlor floor features a 26-foot-wide sitting room overlooking West 12th Street, a formal dining room and a conservatory-style great room, enhanced by 12-foot ceilings and wood-burning fireplaces. The upper levels offer exceptional flexibility. The third floor has generous ceiling heights, two fireplaces and two full baths, with the potential for as many as four bedrooms. The fourth floor presents an opportunity for an expansive primary suite with a private terrace and spa-like bath. Crowning the residence is a serene top-floor retreat with soaring ceilings, cork-wrapped interiors, a dramatic fireplace, wet bar and an approximately 15-by-22-foot south-facing terrace with cinematic Village views. Offering rare width, remarkable light, multiple terraces, a private garden and flexible future use, 20 West 12th Street is a singular residence in one of Greenwich Village’s most coveted locations.
