An Artist's Legacy: A Six-Story Greenwich Village Masterpiece Step into a piece of New York City history at 125 West 11th Street, a magnificent Greek Revival mansion that has served as a creative haven for over a century. Lovingly stewarded by the same family for nearly 70 years, this grand residence has been thoughtfully updated and modernized in preparation for the next chapter in its illustrious history. This exceptional, 22-ft wide single-family home boasts nearly 8,000 sq ft of interior space, complemented by 800+ sq ft of private outdoor space and a modern elevator effortlessly connecting all six stories. The history within these walls is palpable. Dating back to 1849, the house became a vibrant center for the arts. In the 1880s, the renowned sculptor Daniel Chester French (creator of the Lincoln Memorial's seated figure) designed and built the most breathtaking room in the house: a spectacular, paneled studio stretching 54-ft deep and soaring upward to two 30-foot peaks with three colossal skylights. Decades later, modern dancer Valerie Bettis utilized this very studio to choreograph routines for Hollywood and Broadway, including legendary work for Rita Hayworth. The home has since nurtured three generations of artists, remaining a beloved gathering spot for Greenwich Village's most celebrated creative minds. Nestled on a tree-lined block, this historic gem seamlessly blends its original character with contemporary luxury. Features include grand living spaces, soaring ceilings throughout, three wood-burning fireplaces, three private outdoor spaces, and central air conditioning. The flexible, expansive layout includes a skylit, eat-in kitchen fully equipped with premium appliances, 5-7 beautifully-proportioned bedrooms, 5 full luxurious bathrooms, 1 powder room, and three unique studio spaces that pay homage to the home's artistic past.
