$13M Historic Greenwich Village Townhouse Might Keep You From Moving to the Suburbs

June 17, 2016

At 22 feet wide and situated in one of Manhattan’s most coveted historic neighborhoods, this four-story 1910 Greek Revival townhouse at 34 West 11th Street has all the charm and turnkey convenience buyers battle over. With interiors that could be taken straight from a suburban estate or a Junior League show house, a back yard, and six bedrooms for the whole family, thoughts of a move to the genteel suburbs could end right here–assuming you’ve got the big-city bank account to cover the $13 million ask. For added bragging rights, the house was the official residence of the chancellor of New York University from 1966 to 1973.

On a prime Greenwich Village block surrounded by similarly well-tended townhouses, this home has the magic combination of original details and modern updates like central A/C, a Poggenpohl kitchen and a gracious family-friendly layout. As a single-family home, you get the run of the house, with plenty of room for in-laws, nannies and guests in the garden-level suite with a kitchenette, two baths and an office.

At the rear of the parlor floor, the spacious dine-in-kitchen overlooks a 38-foot-deep garden through French doors that open onto a wide terrace. The kitchen was clearly designed with a vision in mind, with a 48-inch La Cornue stove, polished concrete counters, extensive storage, an under-counter wine cooler and Miele appliances.  In the pantry area there’s a microwave/convection oven, a built-in espresso/cappuccino machine, and a 48-inch Sub-Zero refrigerator.
