Built in 1836, 1017 Clinton sits on one of Washington Square West’s most picturesque, tree-lined blocks. This stately 20-foot-wide residence extends 100 feet deep to Cypress Street, where neighboring properties have transformed their garden spaces into private parking. Rich in historic charm and original detail, the home showcases soaring ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors, three wood-burning fireplaces, intricate period moldings, and timeless architectural character throughout. A welcoming entrance leads into a gracious main hallway, opening to expansive living and dining rooms—ideal for both everyday living and elegant entertaining. Continuing down the hall, you’ll find a convenient half bath before arriving at the heart of the home: a bright, chef’s eat-in kitchen wrapped in windows. Outfitted with a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf six burner cooktop with infrared grill, two Wolf wall ovens, generous center island, and serene views of the wraparound garden, this space blends function and beauty seamlessly. The upper level features a private au pair suite complete with its own kitchen and full bath. Above, the primary suite is joined by four additional bedrooms and two full baths, offering flexibility for family, guests, or home office needs. The partially finished lower level includes a laundry room and exercise area provides abundant storage and utility space, including a dedicated temperature-controlled wine cellar and multiple work areas—ready to be customized to suit your vision. There is also an attic with two dormer rooms. A rare opportunity to own a grand, historically rich home in one of the city’s most desirable neighborhoods.
