On a gorgeous, tree-lined street in the heart of the Greenwich Village Historic District, this spectacular Greek Revival townhouse is simply a masterpiece. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of the most stunning and unique homes in all of New York City, set on an enviable block with elite New Yorkers and notable names as your neighbors. The townhouse is one of two surviving homes built on the block for John L. Lawrence, a noted lawyer and esteemed property owner who lived in the Village between 1844 and 1845. Conveniently located between Sixth and Seventh Avenues, the home has been exceptionally well preserved and retains much of its original detail, including its classic front porch, iron handrails, wooden door, roof cornices, muntin window sash on the upper floors, and five fireplaces. Spanning nearly 4,153 square feet of interior living space, the home was built on a 20' by 100' lot and includes an addition 1,200-square-foot cellar. Two neighbors on the block, both just to the west, have excavated a full 22 feet down, adding two entire levels and 2,500 square feet of living space to their homes. That presents the tantalizing possibility of expanding the cellar here to create a dream home possibly spanning more than 6,500 square feet. On top of that, there is also more than 1,000 square feet of private outdoor space in the form of a most welcoming front garden, an ivy-laced, landscaped rear garden, off-kitchen patio, and a spacious third-floor terrace overlooking the garden. There are 10 rooms, including four bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, a vivid living room, a formal dining room, family room, gym, office, and study, plus an additional cellar. The townhouse features beautiful hardwood floors of red pumpkin pine, eye-catching crown molding in many of the rooms, oversized windows with artistic frames, and high ceilings with modern recessed lighting. An elegant Dover elevator ushers residence through every floor. There is a skylight upstairs in the office, which incudes a fireplace; the master bedroom contains a fireplace as well, while the master bathroom features exposed brick walls, a double vanity, and a glass-enclosed, stand-in shower. One flight down are two bedrooms with dual access to an en-suite bathroom and a study. Find another fireplace in one bedroom and a laundry closet in the other. Both the living room and dining room on the first floor each have fireplaces, while the sky-list chef's kitchen with balcony access features a center island and stainless-steel, professional-grade appliances such as a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Viking gas stove, Venmar range, and a Miele dishwasher. There's also a stainless-steel wine refrigerator and refrigerated pull out drawers. A more expansive laundry closet is located on the ground floor next to a generous workspace that empties out into the garden. A fourth bedroom overlooks the front garden and there is also an additional full bathroom and powder room as well. There are innumerable large closets throughout, including a walk-in on the top floor, providing an abundance of storage space, a walk-in pantry next to the kitchen, a five-zone central HVAC system, built-in sprinkler systems in the front and back of the building, and a video surveillance system. 111 West 13th Street is situated just three blocks from Union Square, an exclusive, prime location in the center of Downtown Manhattan. The new Whitney Museum is within walking distance, along with some of the best dining, shopping, and nightlife New York has to offer. The F, M, L, N, Q, R, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 trains all stop nearby, providing incredible access to the rest of the city.
