57 W 9th Street

57 West 9th Street is а 22 1/4-fοot wіde, thrее‐family resіdеnсе prіmed for conversion back to single family use. Spanning nearly 4,600 square feet, the home is full of preserved original details, exceptional ceiling heights, and a deep historic garden featured in many notable design publications. Originally dating to 1840, this Greek Revival townhouse represents a compelling opportunity located on one of Greenwich Village’s most spellbinding, tree-lined blocks. The lower duplex spans the home’s parlor and garden levels, the former of which has ceiling heights over 12 feet, oak herringbone hardwood floors, and original plaster moldings throughout. A kitchen with original bread oven and fireplace (one of six) leads to the outdoor space on the home’s garden level finished in terracotta and brick. The remainder of the home contains two additional units – a floor-through simplex and a crowning duplex penthouse, both with ceiling heights over 10 feet and the latter featuring a charming top floor with vaulted 14.5-foot ceilings, wood-burning fireplace, and two spacious terraces. Proposed plans by Lang Architecture offer an inspired take on a single-family conversion with a grand parlor entertaining floor, five bedrooms including a full-floor primary suite with private study, and a rooftop den. One of Greenwich Village’s most bucolic tree-lined streets, West Ninth Street is noted for its width, handsome townhouse and cooperative facades, and many notable residents from the worlds of design and entertainment, with close proximity to both lower Fifth Avenue and the West Village’s dining and fashion corridors. This property offers a discerning purchaser the ability to create a lasting mark on the neighborhood’s landscape within a decidedly historic envelope.
